Try wrapping the pipe in tin foil as this keeps the heat in. If not, try cutting styrofoam into the shape of the pipe and attaching it to it, keeping it together with electrical tape.
Pressure rises in the tube.
Yes, plastic pipes are generally considered to be insulators because they have low thermal conductivity, meaning they do not easily transfer heat. This property can help prevent heat loss or gain in a system using plastic pipes.
Heat pipe collectors must be mounted with a minimum tilt angle of around 25° in order for the internal fluid of the heat pipe to return to the hot absorber.

You put it in a small glass pipe and heat it with a lighter. Glad I could help :)
With heat wrap/ heat tape, there are a few models that have a thermostat built onto the cord that keep the temp above freezing. Then you should wrap an insulation tape around the heat tape.
To corrugate means to form into ridges and grooves, so, yes corrugated pipe could be a continuous piece but I have not seen one. More likely a 'corrugated pipe' means a solid inner pipe attached to a solid outer pipe by means of an inner corrugated liner which retards heat transfer to the inner or outer pipe OR improves heat transfer between a material in the inner pipe and a material in the corrugated liner space.
The best way to unfreeze pipes is to use a hairdryer, heat lamp, or heating pad to gently warm the frozen section of the pipe. Avoid using open flames or high heat sources, as they can damage the pipe. Additionally, keep faucets open to allow water to flow and help thaw the pipe.
Because of the difference in temperature of the pipe (or the water in the pipe) and the air surrounding it. You could try a foam insulation from your hardware store.
could be a multitude of things; undersized waste pipe, backwards wyes or santees, backgraded piping, backed up gray water system
Insulating your pipes will keep your water warmer,thus cutting back on the energy cost to heat the water.
Either you have clogged or busted vent pipe or the actuator could be going bad.
