Discuss Hot pipe run outside in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net

hi everyone,
We’ve got an unvented cylinder in an outbuilding. I need to get from here to a building next to it. There is probably 2-3 meters in which the pipe would need to run outside before going into the next building. Would this be okay? Obviously it would be well insulated? The system does have a secondary return so this could be extended to accommodate the new bit, would a secondary return 1, stop freezing as water is constantly flowing and 2, would it cool down too much on the return and cause issues? Thanks in advance

[ASIDE: I did wonder if this was the best forum for this but figured as it was a boiler related issue that the gas engineers would be dealing with it as a matter of course. If I'm wrong can someone let me know and I'll shift it to a better place.] I have a condensing boiler installation...
