Product Information
Full details
The Excel Home Radiator Pipe Covers in Copper are ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade the aesthetic of their heating systems by concealing unsightly copper pipework. These sleeves provide a clean, professional, and unified appearance for exposed pipes between the radiator and the floor or wall, though they are primarily cosmetic and will not replace the function of the original piping underneath.

FAQs
Are these covers made of real copper?
These are high-quality covers designed to mimic the appearance of copper for aesthetic purposes.
Can I use these on pipes larger than 18mm?
No, these are specifically designed for 18mm pipes and will not fit larger diameters.
Do I need to turn off the heating before installation?
Yes, it is recommended that you let the pipes cool down completely to ensure safety and ease of handling.
How many pipes come in a pack?
Each set includes 2 pipes and 2 matching shrouds, sufficient for one radiator.
Is this product suitable for bathroom radiators?
Yes, they can be used in bathrooms, but ensure they are kept away from direct water splashes to maintain the finish.
Can these be painted?
While they can be painted, the copper finish is the primary design feature, and applying paint may void any finish-related aesthetic appeal.
Troubleshooting
The sleeve is too long for the pipe gap
Carefully measure the required length and trim the sleeve using a metal-cutting tool.
The cover does not fit over the pipe
Ensure your pipe is exactly 18mm in diameter; these covers are not compatible with larger or irregular pipe sizes.
Finish looks dull or dirty
Wipe gently with a soft microfiber cloth; avoid acidic cleaners which can strip the color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these covers, ensure your heating system is turned off and the pipes are cool. Simply slide the shrouds onto the pipes and fit the sleeves over the exposed copper. If your pipes are shorter than 130mm, the sleeves can be cut to size using a standard pipe cutter or hacksaw. Compatibility is limited to standard 18mm diameter pipes. To clean the covers, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch or dull the copper-colored finish.
