FAQs
Are these pipe covers suitable for all radiator pipe sizes?
No, these covers are specifically designed for 15mm diameter pipes. Please ensure your pipework is 15mm before purchasing.
Do I need any special tools to install them?

Can I cut the pipe covers to a specific length?
Yes, the included sleeves (200mm) can be trimmed to the exact length required for a custom fit.
What materials are the pipe covers made from?
They are constructed from a durable combination of PVC and metal for longevity.
What is included in the set?

How should I clean the pipe covers?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals to maintain the finish.
Are these covers suitable for use with underfloor heating pipes?
These covers are designed for standard 15mm radiator pipes and are compatible with copper, PB, and PEX materials often found in heating systems.
Troubleshooting
Pipe covers do not fit securely.
Ensure you are using the correct 15mm size and that the pipe is not excessively worn or deformed. The clip-on mechanism should provide a firm fit; if not, check for obstructions or try slightly adjusting the sleeve position.
Sleeves are too short after trimming.
Re-measure carefully before trimming. If a sleeve is too short, you may need to purchase a replacement or consider using the second sleeve provided if applicable.
Finish appears tarnished.
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For antique brass finishes, a slight patina can develop over time, which is often considered part of the aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:

Compatibility:

Care:
Clean the sleeves and collars with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which could damage the finish. A mild soap and water solution is generally sufficient for maintaining the antique brass look.
