I said..."They "recommend", not say it is mandatory. Even Hepworth on this

"NOTE: Do NOT use a hacksaw"

From Hepworth:

"Figure No. 1
Do not use a hacksaw
to cut Hep2O pipe. "

"Cut the PE-X pipe to length using the Marley pipe cutter or similar
plastic pipe cutter. Slight pressure as if to twist the cutter around
the pipe will aid cutting."

No mention of using anything other than a plastic pipe cutter.

Never use a Hacksaw "

"1. After measuring, cut the pipe at one of the marks using a plastic
pipe cutter
DO NOT cut OsmaGold pipe with a hacksaw, wheeled tube cutter or
Stanley knife. "
