yes bobplum thats what i mean inside wall of an outside wall ! ie a cavitiy wall, so freezing issues wont apply just corrosion issues. So should i use plaster , grout, chromed copper or encase in plastic overflow pipe when i put pipe in chased channels before i tile over them? :?

Sorry guys my fault i will clarify , its for a bathroom cavity wall NOT outside property but on the inside of an exterior wall so should i need to insulate or just cover with plaster or tile grout, will this corrode the pipes?
