Hello, Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have just had a new boiler fitted in the loft and the person who
installed it did not insulate the plastic water pipes but did the
copper ones. Is this an issue or dont you need to insulate plastic
pipes ?. The pipe in question is going to the overflow unit to top up
the rads and looks to be coming from the mains feed which feels up the
water tank.

well its not a disaster if it freezes. It wont split, and in all
probability it will that aw when you need water out of it. But I would
lag it meself to be on the safe side.

Thanks in advance
Steve
