Passenger Blend Door - Coolant Pipe Insulation?

Replaced the passenger blend door during my 2nd week of ownership of the SHO, and noticed there's this pipe running directly underneath the actuator that was extremely hot to the touch. I wasn't running the a/c, so I'm assuming it's part of a coolant circuit. Anyone had any luck insulating it? General rule of thumb for electronics was that heat = bad, especially if it's 170-190*F coolant (I'm also wondering why on earth it's routed through there).
