re: Pipes Freezing in attic

I’m in the same boat. 2 water heaters and all house plumbing runs through the attic with no insulation on them. There’s no way I could insulate that much pipe either.
For those saying the hot water lines will be fine, I don’t think so. Without the water running, 20 feet away is ice cold.
I plan on running several faucets on far ends of the house, both hot and cold sides.
Also, during the freeze last year I did a test. When the outside temp was 17 degrees, the temp in my attic was 34 degrees.

Yes, same situation. Last winter the temp in the attic got near 32.
