Working to the minimum 18mm per metre that the building regs state for
a 110mm pipe I need to drop my pipe by about 50mm

This is very hard to explain so I've uploaded a pictuhttp://img694.imageshack.us/img694/4296/soilpipe.jpg

The RA access bend goes into the floor point about 70mm and I think
there is about 30mm of gentle bend that could go in. *So is it OK to
chop 50mm off the RA access bend so that once it's inserted it will
drop my pipe height?

Thanks for reading.

Can you rotate the socket in the floor space and then use a 45 or
adjustable connector (not sure if these come with access points)? You
may have to cut some of the flooring away to allow rotation.
