Product Information
Full details
The Talus Radiator Pipe Covers in bronze are designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to elevate the aesthetic of their interior heating systems. These covers provide a refined, metallic finish to exposed pipework, effectively masking unsightly copper or plastic lines with a sleek 300mm shroud. While they offer a significant upgrade to room decor, it is important to note that installation must be carefully planned as these covers are designed to be fitted before the radiator valves are installed.

FAQs
Can these be used on existing radiators?
Yes, but only if you are prepared to detach the radiator valves, as the covers must slide over the pipes before the valves are fitted.
What tools do I need to install these?
You will need a measuring tape, a pencil for marking, and a fine-toothed hacksaw to trim the covers to the required length.
Are they made of metal?
The Talus covers feature a high-quality bronze finish designed to complement metallic radiator aesthetics.
How do I clean the bronze finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or chemical cleaners to preserve the finish.
Can I paint these covers?
The bronze finish is intended to be the final aesthetic; painting may void the look and finish quality of the product.
Troubleshooting
Cover is too long for the gap
Measure the distance from the floor to the valve base and carefully trim the cover using a hacksaw.
Cover doesn't fit over the valve
Ensure the cover is positioned first; if the valve is already installed, you must remove the valve to slide the cover on.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Easily trimmable to accommodate custom pipe lengths

Cons
- Must be installed before radiator valves are attached
- Requires cutting tools for custom length adjustments
- Not suitable for retrofitting without removing existing valves
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide the pipe covers over the supply pipes before you thread your radiator valves onto the system. If the pipe is shorter than the 300mm provided, measure the distance from the floor to the valve base, mark the cover, and trim it using a hacksaw or appropriate pipe cutter for a clean edge. For care, simply wipe the bronze surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may tarnish or strip the metallic bronze finish.
