2. Pipe insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_insulation

   Polyethylene is a flexible plastic foamed insulation that is widely used to prevent freezing of domestic water supply pipes and to reduce heat loss from domestic heating pipes. The fire performance of Polyethylene is typically 25/50 E84 compliant up to 1" thickness.

3. Trace heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_heating

   Hot water service piping can also be traced, so that a circulating system is not needed to provide hot water at outlets. The combination of trace heating and the correct thermal insulation for the operating ambient temperature maintains a thermal balance where the heat output from the trace heating matches the heat loss from the pipe.

7. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

   Water pressure may fail or be reduced when a water main bursts, pipes freeze, or there is unexpectedly high demand on the water system (for example, when several fire hydrants are opened). Reduced pressure in the pipe may allow contaminated water from the soil , from storage, or from other sources to be drawn up into the system.
