These covers provide a clean, high-end finish by concealing unsightly copper, PB, or PEX pipes with a durable white sleeve.

FAQs
Will these fit 10mm pipes?
No, these covers are specifically engineered for 15mm diameter pipes.
Can I paint these covers?
While they feature a durable white finish, they are designed to be used as-is. Painting is not recommended as it may affect the clip mechanism.
Are these suitable for bathroom environments?
Yes, the materials are resistant to wear and tarnishing, making them suitable for use in bathrooms.
How many sleeves are in a pack?
Each pack contains two 200mm pipe sleeves and matching collars.
Do I need glue or tape to install them?
No, the covers utilize a clip-on design that stays in place securely without the need for adhesives.
Can they be used on vertical and horizontal pipes?
Yes, these covers are designed to fit any 15mm pipe regardless of orientation.
Troubleshooting
Cover does not snap shut securely
Ensure the pipe is exactly 15mm in diameter and free of debris or excess paint buildup that may prevent the clip from locking.
Cover is too long for the space
Measure the gap carefully and trim the sleeve using a sharp hacksaw or heavy-duty cutters to achieve the desired length.
Collar does not lay flat against the floor
Check for obstructions under the collar or ensure the hole in the floor is not overly large, which may prevent the collar from sitting flush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is a simple three-step process: measure the required length from the floor to the base of your valve, trim the sleeve using appropriate cutters, and snap the cover onto your 15mm pipe. The matching collars should then be placed at the base where the pipe meets the floor to provide a finished look. These covers are compatible with 15mm copper, PB, and PEX pipes commonly used in UK heating systems. To care for your covers, simply wipe them down with a damp, soft cloth during routine cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the white finish.
