Marley Equator - plastic plumbing

The Marley is the most recent product and is very good. If you've got some decent garden secatuers these do just as good a job as the pipe cutter. just try to keep the cut square.

Just buy the pipe cutter - they're less than a tenner, and will save you a lot of time. Don't use any type of saw.

I assume it's because that if you use a hacksaw then it is harder to keep the cut square and you need to make sure that all the swarf is removed and the end is cleaned up.

If they just say 'don't do it' then they have covered themselves if someone does and then they have a problem.

The cutters do make life much easier and quicker, but as an alternative I've used a Stanley knife to cut Hep20 with no problem.

I rate it the best of the plastic systems of: Hep2O, Speedfit, Osma Gold and Polyplumb. The fittings are metal encapsulated with metal pipe inserts. The only company to do this. Equator pipe has an oxygen barrier. Hepworth and Polyplumb have two different pipe types. One with a barrier and one without, all others have the barrier.
