Yes you do and it needs to be inspected.
You need at least a 3 in. pipe -- shower is 2 in. pipe
Need more info - what is it for? What is the size of the pipe and the pressure differences you are trying to get?
Wrap it with insulation
to make it insulated and rust free Gi spray is used. Fiberglass is easy to install and can be purchased in insulation sleeves. The insulation is comprised of inorganic fibers, which are bonded with special resin. An aluminum-foil facing or vapor retarder is attached. The insulation is usually available in 3-foot sections.
THE DIAMETER OF THE OUTSIDE OF THE PIPE TIMES PI TIMES THE LENGTH OF THE PIPE or D x Pi x L = A
The installation of pipe insulation is fairly easy. Pipes that are not covered seem to sweat, or they can freeze in the winter. Find pipe insulation the size in diameter of the pipe. Slit a cut down one side and place over the pipe.
Go to Lowe's (or HD) and purchase more tubing insulation and install it. It is not difficult.

To effectively protect your pipes from freezing, you can use foam pipe insulation over heat tape. The foam insulation helps to retain heat generated by the heat tape, preventing the pipes from freezing. Make sure to properly install and secure the insulation and heat tape to ensure maximum effectiveness in protecting your pipes from freezing.
The best methods for installing outdoor pipe insulation to protect pipes from freezing temperatures include measuring the pipe diameter, selecting the appropriate insulation material, cutting the insulation to fit the pipe length, securing it with tape or zip ties, and sealing any gaps to ensure proper coverage.
To install a shower pipe in the wall, you will need to first locate the studs in the wall where you want to install the pipe. Use a stud finder to find the studs and mark their locations. Then, use a drill to create a hole in the wall where you want the pipe to go. Insert the pipe into the hole and secure it in place using pipe fittings and a wrench. Finally, connect the pipe to the water supply and test for leaks before sealing up the wall.
Yes, PEX pipe does not necessarily need to be insulated for proper installation and performance, but adding insulation can help improve energy efficiency and prevent heat loss in certain applications.

Anti sweat insulation means to prevent condensation of atmospheric water vapour on the surface of pipe is called anti sweat insulation.
Air conditioner pipe insulation helps to prevent energy loss, reduce condensation, and improve the overall efficiency of the air conditioning system.
