No tape required. And it won't matter if the cut isn't perfectly square, but it needs to be something like it.

But surely you would be able to cut a piece of 1" pipe square?????????
Just make sure you de-burr it otherwise you will tear out the 'O' ring.

You would hope so wouldn't you! - all done no leaks so I'm happy!. The connectors are quite bulky but work really well.

Looks like a nice, neat setup. Good work.

Didn't notice it until you said something. Should have kept your mouth shut.

Mmm, point taken!
