Chrome Munsen Ring with Base Plate 15mm to 54mm

Where pipe is part of the look, a chrome munsen ring with base plate keeps it tidy and bright. The set gives you a chrome finished ring and a matching base plate to fix it back to the wall.

Using a chrome munsen ring with base plate

Exposed copper is popular in bathrooms, cafes and bars, and grey or galvanised brackets spoil it. These chrome rings suit that kind of job, and they also pair well with chrome radiator pipes and shower risers. Because the ring is hinged, you can fit the pipe first and close the ring round it afterwards.

• Sizes: 15mm, 22mm, 28mm, 35mm, 42mm and 54mm
• Chrome finish
• Supplied with a base plate
• For copper or chrome pipe on show

The 15mm and 22mm rings cover radiator and tap feeds in homes. Then 28mm and 35mm suit bigger domestic and light commercial runs, and 42mm and 54mm handle mains in restaurants or offices. Take care when drilling, because you want the plates in a dead straight line on display work. Use a level and a pencil line, not your eye. Protect the chrome from spanner marks with a cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners later. Plain brass rings and back plates are in our munsen rings range.

Common Questions

What is a Munsen ring? It is a split pipe ring that clamps round the pipe. This one is chrome plated and comes with a base plate, so you can fix pipework neatly to a wall or surface where it is on show.

What are Munsen rings used for? They support and hold pipework in place, and the chrome finish suits visible runs in homes, commercial buildings and plant rooms. This one fits 15mm, 22mm, 28mm, 35mm, 42mm and 54mm pipe.

How do you fit a Munsen ring? Fix the base plate firmly to the wall or surface with fixings that suit what you are fixing into. Then open the split ring round the pipe and close it up, which means you can fit it to existing pipe without disconnecting anything.

Which code do I need for each pipe size? The codes follow the pipe size, so 15mm is CMR15-BP and 22mm is CMR22-BP. The range runs up through 28mm, 35mm and 42mm to CMR54-BP for 54mm pipe.

Does the chrome finish need any looking after? Very little. An occasional wipe and a check that the fixings are still tight is all it should need to keep it looking smart.
