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.
