Hey Guys.
Sorry if this is an easy question, but I've searched the archives, and have googled around a bit, but haven't been able to find the answer. Hence, I'm going straight to the experts.
I'm trying to install a tub faucet and handles. The handles have escutcheons which screw onto brass threaded sleeves. The sleeves are too long, and the very brief instructions say to cut them to length.
What's the best way to cut the threaded sleeve? I'm concerned about getting a relatively straight cut that doesn't screw up the threads. Is this a simple job for a hacksaw, or is there a better solution?
Thanks.
