Hep 2O can be cut with a pipeslice or even waste pipe cutters. After cutting always ensure to insert the metal sleeve supplied to prevent pipe crushing. Push fully home into the Hep 2O fitting and tighten the collar. Sometimes getting the pipe fully into the fitting can be difficult. If you arn’t sure that its gone fully in, retract the collar, pull out the pipe and check that the rubber ‘o’ ring is around the pipe itself.
