Jase Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi all hopefully some one can help? Doing my kitchen out all the plaster is off the walls .The internal wall were the radiator is going had the old pipes running down the the wall which looked naff.so my question is can I chase out some of the brick out to allow the 15mm copper to run internally behind green plaster board?.If so is it best to lag the pipe so to reduce possible condensation causing issues ? Many thanks in advance Jason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Condensation won’t form but chasing them would be preferable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Chase them in, PVC tape the pipe, and then use expanding foam to fully encapsulate the pipe. If you don't then the heat from the pipes will be forever heating a cold wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
