cutting round bent pipes

[cornish_crofter]

You won't be able to loosen off the elbow on the 32mm waste - it's solvent weld.

Either, remove the trap and try to feed the tile around the elbow,

Or, cut the pipe half way from the floor and rejoin after you've tiled using a solvent weld connector.

The other one, Dave's suggestion may work.

Yep its the copper one in the middle of top picture parallel to plastic pipe which i'm still unsure about its bent and close to the floor

All i said was remove the trap and slide the tile over the bend...:smilewinkgrin:..not remove the elbows on the joints....

you could take the plastic pipe off and you are left with the copper pipe..do your hole cut and use push fit fixings to get to where you want the pipe using both plastic pipes and push fixings or copper pipe and push fixings.If you use plastic pipe then remember and use pipe inserts.

i take it that a bidet is going over this pipe work, ifs its not going to show cut the tile and fit around the bent copper pipe

with the plastic dave is spot on, why make it hard for yourself take the simple solution

talk this through with the client and see if they want their plumber back in to cut the bent pipes out and fit straight pipes to be altered after the floor has been tiled or do they want a tile split

Simple they have been fitted before and are not flexable so when you tile the floor they will need to be redone to fit the items again so get a plumber in to put the pipes in the right place without needing a bend and put service valves on the copper pipes and just cut the waste pipes down so new pipe work can be fitted after tiling
