Finishing a ceiling with both of these things exposed. Can regular fiberglass insulation be a bad thing to have touching air ducts and hot water pipes? Is that a fire danger? Is there something they should be wrapped in, and will that aid in isolation?
Touching ductwork shouldn't be a concern but keeping it away from the pipes would be a good idea in the event of sweating of these pipes.
