It's also important to follow the manufacturer's recommendation and
use a proper pipe cutter for the plastic and not a hack saw.

You cab use as hacksaw as long as the cut is square and the burrs are
trimmed off with a Stanley knife. No sense in spending £15 to do a
few
plastic joints.


You mean as described in

http://www.johnguest.co.uk/makeconnect.asp

and probably every other manufacturer.

Here is what Hepworth said on this ng. This man is using Hep20...

"The inventive can find many ways of achieving a perfectly acceptable
clean,
square cut using a variety of tools.
The Hepworth Plumbing Products Team"

I imagine that this would assume a degree of competence.

Exactly!

A "perfectly acceptable clean, square cut" can be obtained by using a
hacksawa dn removing the burr and swarf with fines files/Straley knife.
