PipeSnug - Waste Pipe Collar and Seal, Grey 40mm (1 1/2") (Pack of 3)

Product Information

Part L Building Regulations now requires pipe grommets and pipe collars to be used on all service penetrations to help maintain air tightness around pipes in walls. Sealing around a boiler flue traditionally requires pointing with sand and cement. Removing any need for pointing, FlueSnug can be installed in less than five seconds and snuggly fits the 152mm core-drilled hole in the wall through which the boiler pipe and flue exits. FlueSnug can be used both inside and outside the property for the best finish and prevents heat escaping and acts as a barrier to drafts, damp, insects and pests.

Another added benefit of the 110mm PipeSnug and the FlueSnug is that they can be installed at height, without the need for ladders or scaffolding. That is because the products are flexible enough to be pushed through the hole meant for the pipework, saving even more time and fuss. Watch a How To video on installing at height here. Where to find out more about Part L Building RegulationsPipeSnug has welcomed the recent Government response to its consultation on the Part L of the Building Regulations, which specifies the use of pipe grommets and collars on incoming service penetrations and internal building services in new build dwellings. Part L Building Regulations sets the standards for the energy performance and carbon emissions of new and existing buildings. It covers the energy used by the building such as temperature control, water heating and lighting. Part L states that dwellings must use pipe grommets and collars on pipes in walls for incoming service penetrations and internal building services. PipeSnug meets the new Part L building requirements , which now requires pipe seals and grommets to be used around pipework. PipeSnug is the only all-in-one solution which meets Part L’s requirement to seal around pipework inside and out, without the need for sealant, mortar or expensive air sealing tape.

Soil pipe Building Regulations state that the soil pipe is always placed above the highest water inlet into the pipe and that the opening of ventilating pipes should be at least 900mm above any window in a dwelling that is within three meters of the pipe. How do PipeSnug seal pipes in walls? We pride ourselves on supplying the trade with innovative plumbing and heating solutions, PipeSnug and FlueSnug are innovations which save time, mess and cost for plumbing and heating installers,” explains Amy Frearson, Graham Category Manager. But we won’t be disappearing. We will also be joining the Talon team in pushing PipeSnug forward and under Talon’s wings we will both look to bring more ideas to market that save time and money for the trade and explore opportunities for the product outside of the UK too. We have ambitious plans to invest and launch new versions to cover different sizes and applications in the coming months as demand rises due to the changes to Part L. We want PipeSnug to become the de facto method of sealing around service penetrations. We are also looking to expand sales outside the UK as we have international patents,” says Alex.I realised a simple fitting would save so much time in mixing mortar or siliconing around the pipe, as well as blending into the fabric of the building visually,” said Chris. A big moment was when FlueSnug was endorsed by the major boiler manufacturers, including Worcester Bosch and Ideal Heating,” continues Alex. The recent changes to Part L Building Regulations and consultations on the Future Homes Standard and the Future Buildings Standard are all part of the Government’s drive to make new homes Net Zero Carbon by 2025, and lower the carbon emissions from existing housing. You can read more about the Government’s move to Net Zero Carbon here. PipeSnug and FlueSnug are ideal to help new builds and existing dwellings meet the requirements of Building Regulations for pipes in walls set out in these regulations and consultations.

In this time we were refining the design, testing prototypes and finding the right suppliers to work with. One of the major hurdles was to get the product patented, which is a long process,” explains Alex. PipeSnug simply fits into the hole drilled for the pipework and comes in 32mm, 40mm or 110mm sizes, removing any need for pointing. Its big brother, FlueSnug, is endorsed by Worcester Bosch, Ideal Heating and other leading boiler manufacturers and can be installed in less than five seconds. It snuggly fits the 152mm core-drilled hole in the wall through which the boiler pipe and flue exits. The use of soil pipe collars is also being recommended for any improvements to existing dwellings too, so extensions and loft conversions where a soil pipe seal is fitted can also benefit from the use of PipeSnug pipe collars.

In response to Part L Building Regulations, all service penetrations now need pipe grommets or collars to keep air tightness around pipes in walls.If your pipework is not tiled or boxed in behind your sink or toilet then look to see if the pipework has been sealed where it leaves the wall. If it hasn’t then the draught will be probably coming in from the external wall where the pipe leaves the house and through this internal gap too. Your plumber or builder should install your PipeSnugs, especially if the pipework is exiting your house outside at height or you need help drilling the wall to clear out the old mortar and sealant. A Pipesnug keeps draughts at bay PipeSnug and FlueSnug form an airtight seal against the wall where pipes enter and exit a building. So they not only save plumbers time, money and mess, but they also keep warmth in and energy costs down for homeowners,” adds Alex.
