Brass Munsen Rings

Brass Munsen rings are the standard choice for supporting pipework in plumbing and heating installations where a neat, durable fixing is needed. These brass pipe clips hold copper or steel pipe firmly against walls, ceilings, and structural surfaces, keeping runs straight and secure without any flex or movement over time. Available in 15mm, 22mm, and 28mm sizes, they cover the most common pipe diameters used in domestic and light commercial work.

The one-piece ring design is simple and reliable. The pipe sits in the ring, a bolt passes through the back lug, and the whole assembly is fixed to the surface with a single fixing point. There is nothing complicated about it, which is exactly why Munsen rings have been used on pipework for decades. Simplicity tends to last.

Brass is the right material here. It does not rust, it holds up in damp conditions, and it looks presentable when installed in visible locations such as plant rooms, boiler rooms, or exposed pipework runs in commercial or residential properties. Where a plastic clip would look out of place or eventually discolour, a brass Munsen ring stays looking the part for years.

Where Brass Pipe Clips Fit Into the Job

These rings are used by plumbers and heating engineers on practically every type of pipework installation. Domestic boiler pipework, central heating flow and return runs, cold water supplies, and pressurised systems all benefit from a Munsen ring where the pipe needs firm wall or ceiling support over longer spans.

In commercial settings, Munsen rings are equally at home. Plant rooms, service corridors, and utility areas often specify brass fixings both for their durability and because the installation needs to look tidy during inspections. The 28mm size is particularly useful for main flow pipes and larger heating circuits where heavier support is needed.

Choosing the Right Size

Match the ring size to your pipe outside diameter. The 15mm ring suits standard 15mm copper pipe, the 22mm ring suits 22mm copper, and the 28mm ring handles 28mm pipe. If you are working with steel or chrome pipe, check the outside diameter matches before ordering, as wall thickness varies between pipe types and a ring that is too tight will not seat correctly.

These brass pipe clips are sold individually, so you can order exactly the quantity you need for the job rather than committing to a box of fifty when you only need a dozen. For larger pipe runs or full installations, it is worth working out your fixing spacings in advance and ordering in bulk to keep costs down.

At the price point these are offered, there is no reason to reach for an inferior plastic alternative when brass pipe clips will do the job properly, look better, and last considerably longer without complaint.
