    Overflow Pipe Insulation - Does it need it?

    Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knew weather or not an overflow/warning pipe connected to the CWSC and F&E tank in the loft needed to be insulated? Can't find anything in building regs or WRAS. I could be missing something though. Thanks in advance :-)
