Tool to use

[Riley]

Afternoon all

Due to be doing some work with some big MDPE shortly and was wondering what peoples weapon of choice was for slicing it. My Rocut snips cope pretty well with anything up to 42mm but I'll be doing a big run in 64mm and want something to make nice neat cuts

Cheers Shaun yeah cutters look good mate thanks. In terms of the chlorination just for my info is that dependent on the length of run or bore of pipe? Also you've got me thinking now if I join onto the end of it would I then be required to chlorinate it again?

Anything above 50mm and depends how they terminate it if they do with a valve just take after that in copper but yes if you need to cut / put a fitting on yes but that's down to them
