Condensation in the wall with water outlet?

[Kasch]

We are going to make a hole in the wall of the extension to run an outdoor water spout. The wall consists of wood panel-asfaboard-cellulosaisolering (similar to ecofiber)-osb-drywall. What I'm wondering is if I should be concerned about condensation from the (cold) water pipe? And if so, how do I fix it?

I put on some Armaflex just to be safe!



Check under Pipe Insulation, for example:

Thanks, sounds like a good idea! But how far did you run the armaflex? Through the entire wall and panel? And where does any condensation water go? :-/

Yep, through the entire wall to the water outlet.
If you insulate properly, there will be no condensation, that's the whole point! Now this is really advanced and a few condensation drops now&then dry up quickly in the summer. The water outlet isn't on all the time

Hmm yeah, of course : I can blame it on a stressful week at work...
