Hi,
I've recently had to have an high strength external grey pvc pipe routed from my pumping station in a basement flat to a nearby drain which is 2m higher than the pump.
The pipe will always have a head of water in it so i need to lag and case it before ther really cold weather arirves.
What do people advise as the best materials to use for this ? Is something like rockwool insulation packed around it sufficient ? What about casing?
It's in a town centre location and protected from wind so realistically only going to drop to -5c max on a really cold night.
Many thanks in advance,
Mike.
