I want to link some Hep2O to copper, so what about the copper pipe end
protectors mentioned he http://www.hep20.co.uk/v2Ocopper1.cfm
(Hepworth product code HX61).

Since noone seems to sell these am I right in assuming they are not
necessary??

What they do is stop swarf snipping the O ring as you push on the fitting.
If you ensure there is no swarf at the end of the copper you can get away
with it.

If you use a tube cutter rather than your hacksaw, there won't be any
swarf or sharp edges to cut the O-ring.
