I'd tend to use a drill quite a bit larger than the pipe and sleeve it
with PVC where it passes through the wall - you can get clip on sleeves
designed to pretty up radiator tails which work fine.



Me too. I use WC solvent-weld overflow pipe (22mm OD/19mm ID).
I've also used it to put radiator tails in a stud wall - as a conduit.
Useful stuff, and dead cheap.
