Hello all,

I am trying to remove a radiator so that I can build a wall in the living room. Drained the system, removed the radiator and now I am a little stuck now that it's come to removing the pipes sticking up from the floor.

I was told this was a simple job of cutting the pipes as close to the join and popping on some 15mm compression caps. So I bought the pipe cutter and caps, lifted the boards and was met with what you see in the pictures.

My question is, where am I supposed to be cutting the pipes? I cannot see a joint apart from where they are connected to a plastic/rubber tube.

Any thoughts? And thanks in advance

Cut the copper 6" past the plastic push fit elbow and put the stop end there.

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
