Outside self cutting tap kit

[sleeping giant]

Stupidly , I fitted one of these self cutting tap kits years ago

I fitted it onto the main cold pipe leading to the washing machine but I fitted it below the actual tap for that pipe . Now I have discovered that I cannot remove the self tapping tap as it will leave a hole in the pipe below where the washing machine screws into it.

It is an easy job to cut the pipe below the hole and refit the washing machine hose connector back onto the pipe ?

I hope that make sense .

I'm away to take a picture:-)
