Frequently Asked Questions (10)

What is included in the 130mm Antique Copper Pipe Sleeve Kit?
Each kit is a complete pair for one radiator. You will receive two 130mm long solid brass sleeves (shrouds) and two matching 44mm diameter floor caps (roses). Both the sleeves and the caps feature the same antique copper finish to ensure your pipework looks like a solid piece of vintage hardware.
Will Antique Copper match my standard copper pipes?
No, the Antique finish is intentionally aged and darker than a brand-new, shiny copper pipe. It is designed to look like a historic fitting that has developed a natural patina over time. It is a perfect match for Antique Copper or Vintage Copper radiator valves and cast iron radiators.
Is 130mm long enough to cover my pipes?
For most standard radiators where the pipes come straight out of the floor, 130mm is the industry standard length and provides full coverage. If your radiator is mounted particularly high on the wall (such as a vertical designer radiator or a tall towel rail), you might require our 300mm version instead.
How do these sleeves fit over micro-bore (8mm or 10mm) pipes?
The sleeves have an internal diameter designed to fit over 15mm pipes. If you have 8mm or 10mm micro-bore pipes, the sleeve will still work perfectly, but there will be a larger gap between the pipe and the sleeve. Most installers center the sleeve during the valve installation to ensure it looks symmetrical.
Can I install these after my radiator is already plumbed in?
No, these are solid, one-piece sleeves. To install them, they must be slid over the pipe before the radiator valves are connected and the system is filled. If your radiator is already installed, you would need to temporarily disconnect the valve to slide the sleeve on.
Does the Antique Copper finish require special cleaning?
Because the finish is a decorative plating over solid brass, you should avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive metal polishes. To maintain the aged copper look, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. This prevents water spots and preserves the finish for the duration of its 12-year guarantee.
Are the floor caps big enough to cover the hole in my tiles?
The floor caps have a 44mm diameter. This is significantly wider than the hole typically drilled for a 15mm pipe, meaning it will easily hide any rough edges, jagged tile cuts, or gaps in your flooring, providing a clean, professional rose finish.
Can these sleeves be used with plastic (PEX/Speedfit) pipework?
Yes. Many homeowners use these specifically to hide white or grey plastic pipework, which can look out of place in a room with traditional decor. The 18mm outside diameter provides enough space to accommodate 15mm plastic pipe, though you should ensure the pipe is straight for the best fit.
Why should I choose brass sleeves over cheaper plastic covers?
Cheap plastic snap-on covers often look artificial, can warp with heat, and the color rarely matches high-quality valves. These brass sleeves are heavy-duty, handle heat cycles perfectly, and provide a depth of color and metallic weight that only real brass hardware can offer.
What happens if I need to cut the sleeves shorter?
Cutting them is easy and standard practice. Use a hacksaw with a fine blade. We recommend placing a layer of masking tape around the sleeve to prevent the saw from slipping and scratching the finish. Once cut, turn the sleeve so the cut end is hidden inside the floor cap or at the very top of the valve nut.
