Water pipes feeding ASHP are insulated using Climaflex or similar of course but how should lever valves and strainers be insulated?

Just for info, Climaflex isn’t rated for outdoor use - you need a nitrile rubber insulation preferably with a jacket or coating.

yes, I used nitrile rubber insulating and wound “self amalgamating tape “ around it. We used tape self amalgamating in BT to waterproof cable joints .
