Description
The Single Exit Radiator Pipe Guide & Seal has been developed to
reduce air leakage behind radiators at the point where the heating pipes
penetrate the wall and it is not practical to use the double exit Face-Fix
Radiator Pipe Guide & Seal (GRS-FF) . It is particularly suited to situations
where a larger radiator is being used which has a third mounting bracket
running down the centre of the radiator and where the distance from the
centre of the radiator to the valves is large enough to cause excessive
pipe sag which could become visible below the bottom of the radiator.
Due to the face-fix nature of the product, it is also well suited to studded
wall details. The product should be placed close to the radiator valves
in a position which avoids conflict with the outer two radiator brackets
and provides an uninterrupted route between the pipe and the valve.
Installation
3a. 3b.
2. When dry-lining, cut 2,
60mm diameter circular holes
using the centre of each of the
crosses as the centre point
for the holes (for best results,
use a 60mm hole-saw). Pull
each length of pipe through each
hole and plaster as normal, being
careful not to plaster over the holes.

3a. The product can be orientated in any direction required.
3b. Thread the pipes through the grommet in each of the radiator
pipe seals. Push each product flush with the plastered wall, centralise
the product around the hole and direct it towards the valve. Mark the
centres of each of the holes.

1. Run the pipes and secure to the wall. Mark a cross on the wall at each
of the points where the pipes will exit through the dry-line board. Allow
enough excess to ensure that the pipes will meet the radiator valves. (The
pipes can be left in a loop at this point to pressure test the system, but must be cut before
dry-lining)
4. Pull the radiator pipe seal away
from the wall and screw a self-drive
plug into the plasterboard at each
of the points previously marked.
Warning: Take care not to
pierce any pipes or wiring
behind the dry-lining when
driving the self-drive plugs.
