I'm installing a few Buderus panel rads about 2' from a perpendicular wall that contains the plumbing. I can't run 1/2" copper because I need 1.7gpm min. Are there any chrome sleeves that will dress up 3/4" copper or 5/8" pex? I've seen nothing online.

thanks,
jim

Nothing I've ever seen but on a few odd occasions, I've been known to spray paint copper pipe.

I know Wirsbo makes them for 1/2" but I'm not sure about 3/4. Probably not.

THanks

The easiest solution by far will be to use the available 1/2" chrome sleeves over copper, and just increase the water temp to 190.
