Hot pipe to shower valve buried in chased concrete wall. How should I insulate it?
I am installing a hot pipe to a concealed shower valve which runs for
about 2m through a concrete wall. I have chased a 28mm channel for the pipe. How should I insulate this pipe? I have been considering wrapping it with a spiral of glass wool, if I can find that in strip form on a reel. Any other suggestions? |

I would run it through a larger plastic pipe (6mm+ larger). The air gap should insulate it and provide room for expansion. |
