Manthorpe Radiator Pipe Guide and Seal

The GRS Radiator Pipe Guide and Seal provides an impermeable barrier at the point at which radiator pipes meet the wall – an area identified as a key point for the loss of heat. Until now there has been no method of properly sealing this area, and because of this, many installations leave gaps around pipes. This allows heat to escape and bills to soar. This is an unsatisfactory state of affairs from all points of view, and one that could result in the failure of the now mandatory pressure test - leading practical problems and financial consequences.Designed for use with increasingly popular plastic pipes, the Radiator Pipe Guide and Seal ensures there are no gaps through which heat can be lost. The innovative design guides pipes to the radiator, preventing kinks and twists. Inexpensive and easy to fit, the product provides a highly effective barrier conserving energy and reducing fuel costs. For builders it is an ingeniously simple way of complying with the revised Part L regulations regarding air leakage.

Manthorpe Single Exit Radiator Pipe Guide and Seal

The Single Exit Radiator Pipe Guide and Seal (GRS-SE) provides an insulated point for one radiator pipe to pass through a wall. When paired with a second GRS-SE the product is ideal for tackling the problem of pipe work for larger radiators, where a pipe run from the centre point may sag below the radiator bottom.The unit is slim enough to fit behind the radiator and will provide a draft seal to help achieve the new air leakage requirements of modern building regulations. The product can be used with radiators that employ a third, central bracket, and its face fix nature means it is ideal for studded wall details.

Manthorpe Face Fix Radiator Pipe Guide and Seal

The GRS-FF is designed to prevent air leakage at pipework penetrations behind a radiator that is plumbed with 10mm flexible plastic barrier pipework commonly used for central heating systems in modern buildings. Along with limiting air leakage through the penetration and producing an attractive finish to the detail, the product also acts as a guide for the pipework as it exits from behind the wall and transitions below the radiator to the valve points at the outer corners, eliminating the risk of kinks and chafing along the exposed run of pipe. The twin plate design allows for a robust mounting point for the pipework at the first fix plumbing phase, with the subsequent penetration through the plasterboard behind the radiator then covered and sealed against air leakage during the course of the second fix.The versatility of the system allows it to be installed in a wide range of details and with both blockwork and stud wall constructions. The unique single central fixing of the sealing cover plate can also be secured directly to the rear mount plate rather than into the surrounding plasterboard, which removes the need for plasterboard fixings near to the cut edge of the plasterboard pipework opening. The mount plate offers a series of fixing locations to allow the system to be fitted securely with a variety of plasterboard and radiator offsets.
