100mm soil pipe.

[mallen]

Hi,
I need to shorten a length of grey PVC 100mm soil pipe that is between two joists. Just wondered how difficult it is to cut and also the best method. I have to do it in situ and cant remove the pipe.
Thanks,
Matthew

Hacksaw with a fine tooth blade, make sure you remove the burrs

Hacksaw with an 18pti would be a lot better, and not clog like a fine toothed one will.

These are brilliant if you can find one

have you thought about how you will rejoin the pipe when you have cut it,

have you thought about how you will rejoin the pipe when you have cut it,

If I do need to cut it then will square off and sand end then use an appropriate socketed fitting i think.

sorry Mallen i misread your original post, i thought it said between two joints not joists, that was why i asked had you thought of how to rejoin it again
