pipe trim / covers?

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

I have some unsightly heat pump pipes against my basement walls (interior). I want to cover them up with something like this pic below, so I can paint them. What are these pipe covers called and where can you get them? an initial google search is not helping.

detail -- notice how these covers appear to have a back that slides under the pipe, and a separate part that covers the front:

below are the pipes that need covering. the bundles are thick, so I need something 4-5" diameter to fit. the bends are not exactly 90 degrees, so hopefully the covers will have a variety of elbow shapes, or else I'll have to get creative with the corners.

Why not just build the wall out to cover them a much nicer look for sure and honestly I do not see the pipes in the pic hanving any special covers just pipes painted to blend .

Paint the insulation the same color as the walls or, for a better finish, enclose them in a chase (a bit like a rectangular downspout) and paint that the wall color.

ok, I think I found it. the product is called "line set cover".

Patricia Colwell Consulting, would love to just wall over it, but I can't DIY that. This is a laundry / craft room, so I'm looking for slightly improved, not perfect.

sktn77a I wish I could just paint the existing pipes but I can't. they're covered in soft plastic insulation and bundled together with two rubber tubes. the paint would flake right off.

Yep, that's what they're called.
