FAQs
Can I use these sleeves on any pipe material?
These sleeves are designed for standard 15mm pipes, which are commonly made of copper or plastic.
Do I need to turn off my heating before installing?
Yes, always ensure the heating is off and the pipes are cool to the touch to prevent burns and ensure easy handling.
Are these sleeves paintable?
While they feature a premium silver finish, if you choose to paint them, ensure you use a primer suitable for smooth metal surfaces.
What is the length of the kit?
Each sleeve in this kit is 130mm in length.
Does the kit include floor collars?
The kit is focused on the pipe sleeves; check your specific packaging for inclusion of matching floor collars or escutcheons.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve is too long for the pipe gap
Use a fine-tooth hacksaw to carefully trim the sleeve to the required length, smoothing the cut edge with a file.
Sleeve feels loose around the pipe
Ensure you are using the correct diameter sleeve; if minor movement occurs, a small piece of double-sided adhesive or spacer can hold it in place.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly improves the visual finish of radiator pipework
- Easy to install without professional plumbing tools
- Durable finish that resists fading over time
- Provides a clean, uniform look for any room
Cons
- Fixed 130mm length may require cutting for non-standard gaps
- Limited to specific aesthetic styles
- Does not provide structural support for pipes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your radiator is turned off and the pipes have cooled completely. Slide the sleeves over the exposed pipework until they sit flush against both the floor plate and the radiator valve. If the distance is less than 130mm, you may need to carefully trim the sleeve using a metal hacksaw to ensure a perfect fit. Compatibility is generally high for standard residential 15mm radiator pipes. For care, simply wipe down the silver surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull or scratch the metallic finish over time.
