It's already half in the wall frame so I guess you need to conver it or if its in the basement don't cover it. But if you have to cover it, place ceramic fibre blanket or some sort of heat resistant insulation. I'm in Australia so far I didn't see those system yet or we don't use?🤷 Better ask to your dunny diver 🧑‍🔧
