Standard practice seems to be to clip your plumbing pipes and then insulate the pipe up to the clip and then continue the insulation after it. Are there any regulations that would prevent you from supporting the insulation instead, so that the insulation can be continuous? I see insulated clips online but they seem to be an isolation method and don't often show insulation around them. I'm wondering whether, for example, I could put a 53mm plastic clip (50mm waste clip?) around a 15mm pipe in 19mm insulation. Seems that would provide for better insulation and isolation, but I don't want to break any regulations and I don't want it to be an issue from an installation perspective in relation to manufacturer warranties for the pipe. Any experience out there?

@PeterW Just wanted to add to Peter's excellent advice with the following graphic from the Hep2O Technical Manual as an additional resource for when people come across this thread in the future. It specifically mentions the design differences between locations and that domestic systems operating intermittently at less than 65 degrees are approved.

In the Loxone Youtube video, they just show it installed in front of a round euro box and screwed directly into the plasterboard. See

@MrMagic Just wondering whether you have any photos of it installed? Like you, I want to introduce some ventilation into my garden room that has circa 200mm deep walls, which from the specs, don't seem to be deep enough for the unit you purchased. Did you do an interior or exterior build up to accommodate it? Cheers, Garry
