Black Nickel Pipe Sleeve & Floor Cap Kit - 130mm for Radiator Pipes

Add a touch of contemporary elegance to your heating system with our 130mm Black Nickel Pipe Sleeve and Floor Cap Kit. Designed to conceal unsightly pipework and create a seamless, professional finish, these high-quality accessories are the perfect complement to modern radiator valves and interiors.

Striking Modern Finish, Superior Construction

Machined from solid brass and finished in a sophisticated black nickel, these pipe sleeves offer exceptional durability and a distinctive, modern aesthetic. The deep, dark tone provides a striking contrast against light walls and flooring, or a coordinated, industrial-chic look with other black or dark metal fixtures. It's the ideal finishing touch for contemporary homes aiming for a curated, designer feel.

Versatile Fit for Standard and Microbore Pipes

This kit is designed for maximum practicality. The sleeve has an internal diameter of 18mm, making it perfect for sliding over standard 15mm copper pipe. It is also compatible with 8mm and 10mm microbore pipework, offering a single, simple solution for various installations. The included floor plate (44mm diameter) sits flush against the floor for a tidy and professional finish.

Why Choose Our Black Nickel Pipe Sleeves?

A high-quality modern valve deserves a high-quality finish. These pipe sleeves are specifically designed to match the aesthetic of contemporary black nickel or dark-finished radiator valves, ensuring a cohesive and professional look. The ability to cut the sleeve to the perfect length means no more ugly gaps or ill-fitting covers. At our low price, this is an affordable upgrade that makes a significant visual impact, protecting your pipes and perfecting your interior design.

Frequently Asked Questions (10)

What is the exact internal diameter of this sleeve? Will it fit over my 15mm pipe with the olive attached?
The sleeve has an internal diameter of 18mm. It is designed specifically to slide easily over standard 15mm copper pipe, including over the compression olive that is attached to the radiator valve. For a seamless installation, always fit the sleeve onto the pipe before connecting the valve, sliding it down out of the way.
My pipework is 10mm microbore. Will this 18mm sleeve be too loose and look odd?
No, it will look perfectly professional. The sleeve's 18mm diameter is a standard size to accommodate the floor cap. The floor plate (44mm diameter) sits on the floor, and the sleeve sits centrally above it, neatly concealing the pipe regardless of its size. The gap around a microbore pipe is not visible once the sleeve and cap are in place.
Can I cut this solid brass sleeve to a shorter length, and what's the best way to do it without damaging the finish?
Yes, the sleeve can be easily cut to your exact required length. Because it is solid brass, the best tool is a fine-toothed hacksaw. To ensure a clean, straight cut and prevent scratching the black nickel finish, wrap the sleeve tightly with masking tape at the cutting point and saw slowly through the tape. Remove the tape and gently deburr the cut edge with fine sandpaper if necessary.
Will this black nickel finish match my modern black or dark-coloured radiator valves?
This sleeve is finished in a high-quality black nickel, which is a popular finish for contemporary radiator valves and taps. While an exact match depends on the specific brand and batch, this finish is formulated to complement the vast majority of black nickel and similar dark metallic accessories, ensuring a cohesive and stylish look.
What is the difference between the sleeve and the floor cap, and how do they work together?
The sleeve is the 130mm long tube that slides over the pipe to hide it from the floor up to the bottom of the radiator valve. The floor cap is the circular, slightly tapered piece that sits at the base of the sleeve on the floor. It covers the cut end of the sleeve and the pipe entry point, creating a neat, professional transition from the floor to the vertical sleeve.
The product page mentions a 12-year warranty, but the spec table says 10 years. Which warranty is correct?
The detailed specifications table at the bottom of the page confirms a 10-year guarantee. This is the correct warranty period against manufacturing defects for this product. The mention of 12 years in the bullet points is likely a minor error. You can rely on the 10-year guarantee for peace of mind.
How many of these kits do I need for a standard radiator installation?
You will need two kits. A standard radiator has two pipes: the flow (input) and the return (output). To achieve a symmetrical and finished look on both sides of the radiator, you need one sleeve and cap set for each pipe.
Is this sleeve solid black metal or just plated?
The sleeve is constructed from solid brass and then given a high-quality electroplated black nickel finish. The solid brass core provides superior strength and durability compared to cheaper plated steel or plastic, while the finish provides the distinctive modern look.
Can these sleeves be used with angled radiator valves where the pipe is close to the wall?
Yes, they are designed for this scenario. The 44mm diameter floor cap and the sleeve are sized to fit comfortably behind most angled radiator valves. As always, fit the sleeve onto the pipe before attaching the valve to ensure enough working space.
Are these sleeves suitable for use in a bathroom with high humidity?
The black nickel finish is applied to solid brass, which offers good corrosion resistance. However, in consistently damp or humid environments like a bathroom, the finish may require occasional gentle wiping to prevent water spots and maintain its appearance. For bathrooms, ensuring good ventilation is always recommended. If you prefer a finish with even higher humidity resistance, polished chrome is often an alternative.
