This looked like the best place to ask this question.. I have ran a Watts recirc pump and ran a return line back to the inlet of the WH.. I want to insulate these lines as they are just open under the house strapped to the bottom of the floor joists.. The hot, cold, and hot return are all PEX and within a few inches of each other.. Pipe insulation seems to have such a poor R value because it is small and I guess they want to keep the cost down.. Thinking I could get some R-13 fiberglass and lightly enclose the pipes in a U shape of the insulation.. Thus having insulation between the floor joists and the insulation I'm installing covering all sides of the pipes..
Make sense?
Dumb idea?
Thanks!
