pipe seals

[Reeves2k2]

I bought a shower which the mixer was surface moutable for using with external pipework
it came with some rubber rings that fit around the 15mm pipework and seals it so water doesnt get through where the holes are drilled for the pipework

iv misplaced them and dont know what they are called so i can get some replacements

they were just like grommits and the rubber just seals around the pipe to water cant seep through

because of the awkward positioning of the pipes silicone isnt really an option because there is not enout room behing to get the silicone in and fsmooth properly and it just ends up lettein water through

any help would be much appriciated

Phone the manufacturer and ask nicely.

i wish i knew who the manufacturer was the shower seems to be an unbranded model ih had it for a couple of years and was just doing some re sealing and general tidying in the bathroom and have lost the damn things

they were great worked a treat

they were like a washer but had an outer plastic rim and flexible rubber inside which moulded iteslf around the pipe and gave a water tight seal around the pipe

Never heard of them.

 

[Reeves2k2]

ok well assuming nobody know what these things are

are there any other tricks of the trade for seeling around a chrome pipe?
bearing in mind there isnt enough room to get a good bead of silicone round the back?
