Plumbing Accessories
Plumbing accessories are the small components that make pipe installations work properly, from sealing joints, to insulating pipework, protecting heating systems and finishing off radiator connections.
These are the materials plumbers reach for during installation and maintenance jobs. From barrier pipe and pipe lagging to radiator connection kits and pipe cements, these products help complete plumbing systems safely and neatly.

What Our Plumbing Accessories Are Used For
Barrier pipe is commonly used in modern plumbing and heating systems. The internal barrier layer helps prevent oxygen entering the system, which protects boilers, pumps and radiators from corrosion over time.
Pipe insulation reduces heat loss on heating systems and helps prevent pipes from freezing in colder environments such as loft spaces or garages.
Radiator tail kits and pipe sleeves provide a neat and protected connection where radiator pipework meets the floor or wall.
Pipe cement and solder is used when creating sealed joints in pipe systems. They help ensure watertight connections during installation.
Many of these products are used alongside the pipe systems listed in our pipe & fittings range.
FAQ’s:
What is the difference between leaded and lead-free solder?
Lead-free solder is typically used for potable water systems, while leaded solder is sometimes used in general plumbing work where drinking water is not involved.
Do radiator pipe sleeves serve a purpose or are they cosmetic?
They are mainly used to provide a neat finish around pipe penetrations through floors or walls, while also protecting pipework from movement damage.
When is pipe cement required?
Pipe cement is used with solvent-weld systems to create sealed joints between pipes and fittings.
