I am planning to replace my hot water line with a loop system including a circulation pump.
All routes are open.
It will be aluminum composite pipe 20x2 mm (0.8x0.08 inches).
Now, there are numerous types of insulation with different thicknesses...
I would prefer not to use the wrong one.
Can you recommend something? Preferably pipe with insulation already attached...
Thanks in advance.

And here people are just talking down to others—do you (morally) want to be held responsible for an accident? Some of the things people say here, how they try to fix partly structural issues with DIY methods, even a layperson with some reading would just shake their head.
I would just be cautious with some of these tips...

Also: I know cases where no inspection was carried out... and yet the electricity is connected and flowing.

How many of those cases have led to significant problems?
