Fixing Pipe Covering

[garash]

Hi, Unfortunately we have copper pipes running down the wall and I want to cover these with
pipe covering 300mm wide which will cover both pipes. Question is, how do we keep this length
of plastic upright /attached? It is right next to a door frame so I suppose we could use superglue
but that is obviously not the right way to go! The cover does not clip over the pipes tightly which I suppose if it did it would keep itself in place. It is not overly big though, just right.

Do you really mean 300mm (about a foot) wide?

Most pipe covers are around 70mm or so.

Thanks ! Sorry it is 22mm

Most pipe cover systems have clips that hold the pipe and retain the cover too.

Can you change the clips or just spring the proper ones into place?

Thanks, I can see what your saying and I saw the link but unfortunately the cover is slightly loose and so I am thinking if I could add on or attach something to the side of one of the clips so the fit will then be tighter. I don't believe in botching normally (do a job well, do it once !) but it looks like I will have to.

I reckon a little sploge of paintable mastic on the edge of each clip should do it, silicone would be OK but if it gets on the wall decorating next time might be a problem.
