Why does insulation around the pipe stop it freezing?

Insulation slows down the loss of energy (heat flow) from the water in the pipe to the surroundings. It will protect from losing heat by convection (wind moving past the pipe removes heat faster than stationary air). If the temperature is cold enough, for a long enough time, eventually it will freeze, even with insulation.Insulation slows down the loss of energy (heat flow) from the water in the pipe to the surroundings.

What type of clip do you use when pipe is to be insulated?

That all depends on what kind of pipe, the size of the pipe, the size of the insulation and the purpose of the insulation. If insulation is important: You will want to use a clip that won't crush the insulation. (On an air conditioning line, for instance, because it will sweat and could cause water damage. Or a pipe that could freeze) FYI: Insulation should not be crushed and don't leave big spaces between pieces. If this clip will be holding any amount of weight: Than I suggest attaching the clip to the pipe and insulating around the clip. If it is something like a heating pipe in the basement than insulation is more of a luxury than necessity It shouldn't really matter too much. But the better you insulate the more efficient your heating system will be. Good luck!
