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

Product Information

We want to thank every single one of our great customers, suppliers and supporters along the way – there are so many people who have made this adventure possible.

The boiler sealing flue collar, Fluesnug, similarly fits the same size core-drilled hole in the wall as PipeSnug, and it also takes care of any pointing concerns.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.

You can also fit PipeSnugs inside too as they kill the draught and look smarter than alternative means of stopping a draught, like stuffing mineral wool or insulation into a cavity.

What is in store for the next five years?

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 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. As well as new builds, the use of pipe collars are being recommended for extensions to existing dwellings too, so extensions and loft conversions could also benefit from the use of PipeSnug and FlueSnug. The collars can be used both inside and outside the property for the best finish and prevents heat loss and acts as a barrier to drafts, damp, insects and pests.” PipeSnug welcomes Part L changes New Approved Document specifies the use of pipe collars and grommets

Installing boiler flues just got easier: The PipeSnug team launches ‘FlueSnug’ – a boiler flue sealing collar The market for pipe seals will continue to grow as PipeSnug is the only one that provides an all-in-one solution that meets these criteria.PipeSnug 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. A draught behind a toilet can be very annoying. The good news is that they are avoidable and can be fixed relatively easily. Some people may be confused as to how a draught gets in as their pipework may be tiled or boxed in, yet they still feel a draught in their bathroom or toilet. Where is the draught coming from? PipeSnug and FlueSnug prevent heat escaping, act as a barrier to drafts, damp, insects and pests and give a great, neat finish as they can be used both inside and outside the property,” continues Alex. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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.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.
