What is the opinion of the pros when it comes to using pipe foam or rubber on PEX water lines for the entire system (3/4" and 1/2")? I am in the middle of a whole house re-pipe w/ Uponor PEX A.
As it stands, the PEX will need to be protected from UV since it will be a while before I get drywall up. So my thoughts were either temporary protection (tarps) or I could just spend money and cover everything with pipe foam or rubber and then get an added benefit of insulation for the hot water lines and possible condensation protection for the cold lines.
Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated. Thanks!
