Hi Harry, Thanks for the reply. I have just double checked, the pipe
in question is to top up the sealed rads and is coming from the mains
supply so under mains pressure and is a grey 15mm plastic pipe and
clipped to the loft boards. Does this mean i need to insulate them.
The copper pipes are part of the radiator loop and to fill up the hot
water tank.

As the other poster suggested, plastic is less prone to splitting - but
it can still split. Insulation is cheap, I would fit some for peace of
mind.
