Fitting European shower trap to 40mm waste pipe

Thanks Shaun; no access to inside so looks like the pipe slice or a cutting wheel.

Cheers,

12” 32tpi hacksaw blade, but just the blade- wrap a cloth around it for a ‘handle’.

Thanks Ben,

That sounds like a very pragmatic (and cheap!) solution. The cut does not have to be too square as it is a solvent weld join so plenty of room on the sleeve.

No reason you can’t get it square. Just remove the burr with a sharp stanley knife blade or a bit of sandpaper.

I use my dremel with a cutting disc all the time cutting from the inside. Its amazing how many times it comes in handy

So have started fitting all the bits together and so far, so good. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

The mini-hacksaw blade with a piece of cloth wrapped round it and bent at 90 degrees ended up being the best bet. I tried my dremel but just didn't have enough room to use it. So long as the blade is new it cuts really well with hardly any back and forth motion.
