Talon - Radsnap - 2x Radiator Pipe Cover & 2x Collars - Chrome

I think these are really good I would have ordered the ones that went with the radiator if I had realised but the towel rail had already been fitted so I used these they look good on my towel rail

A quick way to tidy up copper or painted straight radiator piping. The chrome coloured pipe cover is made of light poly plastic so is super easy to trim with regular sharp scissors. They snap around the radiator pipe, then twizzle the join to the backside so it's not seen. The chrome coloured collars are thicker so not as easy to trim. They don't fully encircle my pipes but not enough of an issue to be a gamechanger. Unfortunately for the bathroom radiator I intended to use these on the collars were too wide, not enough clearance between the pipe and the skirting. I 've used them elsewhere. For a quick easy update these are ideal, they look the part. No one is generally going to get so close to feel they aren't actually chrome, and if they do who cares? I wish there was a similar product for piping that is angled or with curves & bends! At £3.95 for 2 straight pipe covers & 2 round collars at time of review, it's obvious these wouldn't be real chrome, but that's the only thing that really gives the game away, imho.

I've edited this review, as before I give this product 1 star, as the chrome (effect) came off the same day leaving a translucent plactic. I since purchased more. As I had a threory that perhaps patina had reacted with the chrome effect finish and brought it away from the plastic cover. Odd, yes, I'm not even sure if there was patina in the first place, but noiticed that the pipe looked a lot cleaner (like fresh copper) after I removed the failed cover. I can't say for sure if patina caused the problem, but the second covers have worked fine and look great. All I'd say is make sure your pipes are clean before installing the covers. The collars are fine, and do fit 15mm pipe, but they are tight, and need fitting to the pipe BEFORE fitting the covers, not on top of the covers.

Good value for money. Tubes easily cut to length. Both items were easy to fit around pipe.

Cover for pipe look brilliant, but round cover to go on floor , is disappointing, hole in centre not big enough you fit round pipe, you force it on to hard it snaps, hold needs to slightly bigger then I would give it five stars

Did the job perfectly, looks like Chrome pipe, easy to fit.

Really impressed with these. Very simple to fit and trim to size. What I couldn't see from other reviews is that they are basically chrome coated plastic sheets that are rolled up. They're easy to trim with a pair of scissors to get the right size. To fit, you slightly unroll the sheet and wrap around the pipe. Adjust it for a good fit. The sheath cover is average quality and again, just plastic. Easy to fit and slot together. There are small gaps around the bottom of the pipe, as it's not a perfect fit. For what they are, they're a great investment to cover old copper pipes!

Great item, trim to length with scissors. Second time I've bought these, first set lasted 9 years before tarnishing. Good value.
