Hole in Heating Pipe

[carlbold]

Hi folks
after tiling the bathroom walls I was putting the radiator back when a pipe got pierced buy a small nail that was sticking through the chipboard.
Now, I can do some plumbing work (soldering) but never done anything on this kind of pipe....It's a 10 mm pipe with a grey thick rubber sleeve and it's connected with some kind of plastic compression joint that seats on the sleeve.
Is it just a matter of cutting it with a normal cutter and fit a straight joint?
Where do I find that kind of joint? Will normal DIY shops sell them?

Thanks,

Carl

Possibly a 10mm coupling would solve your problem after cutting out the offending hole.

Thanks gas
I'm not sure what coupling I should use though....The one used in the current pipe is a grey plastic compression type that you can undo by hand... Am I ok using a normal joint with 10 mm olives? In this case, do I remove the rubber sleeve first?

sounds like Hep2o fitting use any coupling you like as long as it is compatible with the plastic pipes you have now.

Thanks....And that leaves me with the final trivial question: how do I cut a plastic pipe?
