Running exposed pipe..

Bob W._2

Whats the best way to conceal pipe if you have to run it exposed (vertically) next to masonry walls? This would be new pipe for a HWH system, with separate runs to new panel radiators. Could you run the supply and return next to each other and cover both with a pipe wrap?

I would not try to insulate both pipes at the same time; it never looks good. Why are you trying to conceal them? for safety or looks? They also sell a hard pvc wrap to cover the fiberglass.

A wood decorative cover?

If it were open a bit at top and bottom no heat would build up if you didn't want to insulate the pipes.

Thanks..

I was thinking about routing out channels for each pipe in a 2 piece wood cover. Could stain it and it would look like an old steam pipe.
