Lagging pipes in garage

[Chris Chadwick]

Thanks for any advice you can give us.
We have 2 narrow water pipes, both get hot, too close together to lag separately. Can they be lagged together, and what's best to use?
Think I read somewhere not to lag within a metre of the boiler, is this correct ?

Are the pipes flow and return from boiler?

I really don't know They run vertically in the garage, and this is how they look when they come through the wall into the kitchen. Does this help?

Look to be flow/return , if the gaps as shown then you can get lagging on both .
How close you fit to boiler depends on lagging type .

Why don't you post a picture of the pipework in the garage?

Do these help?

22mm pipe insulation will fit over both the pipes in the first picture, I've done mine this week.

Thank you for your prompt reply, Andy. I understand you can't lag flow and return pipes together, so are these both flow pipes ? Is it usual to have two narrow flow pipes side by side, instead of just one wide one?

Just lag all the pipes you can in the garage.
