FAQs
Can these covers be used on 22mm pipes?
No, these covers are strictly designed for 15mm diameter pipes.
Do I need to turn off the heating to install these?
No, the installation is purely aesthetic and does not involve the plumbing system, so the radiator can remain on.
Are these made of actual copper?
No, they are made of durable, high-quality materials finished in a copper-effect colour to provide a premium appearance.
Will these fade or tarnish?
They are designed to be resistant to wear and tarnishing, maintaining their appearance under normal household conditions.
How many pipes does one pack cover?
One pack includes two 300mm sleeves and matching collars, enough for one standard radiator.
Troubleshooting
The sleeve does not snap shut completely.
Ensure no debris is trapped in the hinge and check that the pipe is indeed a standard 15mm diameter.
The cut edge looks rough.
Use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth the plastic edge after cutting, or use a sharp utility knife to trim off excess burrs.
The cover is too long for the space.
Measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the valve, subtract 2mm for clearance, and trim the sleeve to that length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: measure the visible pipe length, cut the sleeve to size, and snap it around the pipe. The collars should then be placed around the base of the pipe where it meets the floor. These covers are compatible with standard 15mm copper, PB, and PEX pipes. To maintain the finish, simply wipe the covers down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the copper effect finish over time.
