Marley Equator - plastic plumbing

Question: I've got a small amount of re-plumbing to do (Hot and cold water - 15mm + 22mm). I intend using the push fit plastic stuff and had a look in B&Q today. I was rather confused - they do 3 different types of plastic push fit plumbing systems - Speedfit, Polyplumb and Marley Equator. I liked the look of the Marley stuff - and it was cheaper than Speedfit. Has anyone used it? Any problems with it? Second question - all three systems say *not* to use a hacksaw for cutting the plastic pipes. I had intended using my mitre saw but assume this is a no no as well. Any idea why? As I only have around half a dozen cuts to make, buying a plastic pipe cutter seems a bit OTT although I will if necessary.



Answer: -The Marley is the most recent product and is very good. If you've got some decent garden secatuers these do just as good a job as the pipe cutter. just try to keep the cut square. -Just buy the pipe cutter - they're less than a tenner, and will save you a lot of time. Don't use any type of saw.
