I would get a piece of plastic automotive grade wire loom and put it
around the PEX or just get some of that round flam insulation intended
for hot water copper tubing that is available at any DIY place. It's
like $1 for a 6 foot length.

Okay, doesn't sound like it's a code issue, so i can just use the insulation
to protect the PEX just in case.
