Hi all, I have a gas boiler overflow pipe that runs from the external wall into my 'thermal envelope', behind my kitchen cabinets. It is only a small pipe but I live in a very windy exposed area and copper has phenomenal conductivity abilities so I figure this is a thermal bridge that I should look at. Has anyone ran such a detail through SAP, PHPP or DEAP? Ideally I'd replace the pipe with a non-conductive material but that may be unrealistic? So idea is to insulate both sides Does anyone have any suggestions as to what insulation would work here? It would have to be weather tolerant, heat resistant and hopefully look smart.

Does 10mm pipe-insulation exist? Neither toolstation nor any of my local plumbers merchants have it. They all only seem to stock 15mm. Is it that 15mm pipe insulation fits snuggly on a 10mm Hep2O pipe? (I will be using it to lag my Hep2O pipes as they emerge from my insulated raft-foundation.)
