Heatshrink would be preferred assuming the conductor itself is not damaged. Good-quality PVC tape at a push. https://engx.theiet.org/f/wiring-and-regulations/24396/repairing-insulation You do need to sleeve the conductors with the correct colour sleeving for their function.

Just posting this here for future reference when anyone is looking at back-to-back WC issues and the Geberit frames. There is a Geberit pan connector specifically for this situation. I found it when researching the back-to-back "challenge"...

🤣 Don't think I ever take the easy route to be honest... I mentioned those type of clips in my first post, but they're a) not that cheap when you add all the components together and b) are not the easiest to fix in a residential environment. 50mm waste clips or 67mm round gutter clips might work though.

I've just had a reply from the Wavin (Hep2O) Technical Design Department; "we have no issues with our Hep2o system being clipped over the insulation and this is a principle we see on site often. However, we would not recommend builders band is used, we would recommend that suitable pipe clips are used i.e. rubber lined, Talon clips etc." So it seems that it would be fine. When the time comes, I'll either find clips that will work or maybe take a look at designing something for 3D printing and then print them in red and blue filaments... Thanks for the input @Super_Paulie and @joth - much appreciated.

The Screwfix blurb is wrong. The 15mm versions use JG Speedfit connections and the Reliance website states these versions are "suitable for use with Speedfit PEX and polybutylene barrier pipe [inserts required] and copper pipe" - see https://www.reliancevalves.com/gb/en/products/flow-control/plumbing-strainers-flow-regulators-manifolds/potable-water-manifolds

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
