Instead of those brass 90s, which are very restrictive, you could use external 90 guides -- these are either metal or plastic, and the pex snaps into them, bending in a gentle 90 degrees, almost no restriction. Cost less than the brass 90s too. Nice, though. As you say, it's good enough for now.
@Crewsy2 жыл бұрын
Didn’t know they had external guides for 90’s. I’ve always seen the elbows used which never made sense to me when you use PEX. No elbows means no restrictions and no leaks.

You are correct the external 90"s are part of the Uponor pex support system, we use them for stubbing up ground work, but beware if the tubing is really cold its easy to kink, i suggest warming it up with a heat gun before forcing the the sharp curve between the end clips

@jmuller862 жыл бұрын
I used to think the same thing. I did alot of slabs over the years that probably would have benefited from radiant heat but I didnt fully understand it and was a little intimidated by it. Its so cheap and easy to install the pipes even if you dont install a heating device for a while. My little barn/garage would have benefited alot from it. Standing on cold concrete for a while makes your feet actually sweat because its condensing water to the sole of your shoe from it being cold and your feet being warm. Kind of like a can of cold soda when you take it out of the fridge. Radiant heat allows you to lower the temps and still feel comfortable

I was going to say with pex, you need to size up since the elbows restricts. Where copper, 1/2'' is 1/2'' even on elbow but pex restricts by 1/8'' or so. People complain & wonder why flow is weak on the 2 or 3rd floor when it wasn't that way before. When using the same diameter but don't realize, them elbow/fitting is the culprit. Glad you mention that's the bottle neck.
@j.markkrzystofiak99072 жыл бұрын
Your description of low and slow is exactly how I experienced it. By the time the water gets to 90 the stat is satisfied and it shut off. Ran a electric in line boiler on an in slab in floor system for 15 years. It took almost the same $ of electricity to heat a 1000 sqft in NW Wisconsin as it did to cool the same space in the summer with the forced air system AC. Not horrible, but not the most economical long term. No risk option though as it can be left 100% in place as a back up when another heat source is added to the system.

I agree with you about the temp; it was niiiiice! (except for the first 4 months of the wet season 😁) I would take my daughter for a walk during the day and get criticised because it was _bery_ hot at 32°C and if I took her out after dark when it was 27°C is was _bery_ cold. A 5°C difference from too hot to too cold. 🙄 Never met any other K One W Ones when I was there but plenty of Aussies though. Hope you get back soon and enjoy yourself. Kia kaha! 👍👍

I know this is an older posting, especially in "the day and the life of Jesse M.," I find it educational. I understand the concept of radiant heat, but was often intimidated by it and the actual application. I prefer antique homes and when I shop for them, I often come across those with "updated systems" yet the radiant heat is always inoperable which was a problem 10 yrs ago. Jesse makes this look easy (everything he does) but I'm less hesitant now after watching this video. He explains everything. His YT vids will never become obsolete.
