I want to fit one of these http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/pressure-equalising-valve-344-230 due to having mains cold and gravity fed hot water with a mixer tap. Is it ok to just saw the copper pipes a few inches below the taps and fit it right there underneath the bath? If so what is the easiest way to make the connections for someone who's not very up-to-speed with plumbing?

Is this definately not a DIY job then?
Without sounding like i'm answering my own question I thought it might be possible using the often mentioned 'push fit' connection type and some flexible plastic pipe. But I didn't know whether these can be added to cut copper pipe.

yes use a pipe cutter NOT a saw or you will have more leaks than a welshmans garden
and dont forget the inserts
Compression fittings on valve, so push fits not required.
Inserts not required on copper marra, c'mon you aint been out the game that long
