Yes those will work fine with pex-al-pex.
Good question. Offhand, I don't know. I always had the appropriate sized talon for the pipe. I would try squeezing it over the pipe first and if that doesn't work find a way to cut off the talon. I'd been concerned with it not adequately holding the pipe without the talon, but it would be a cheap fix. However, the time spent cutting all the talons off might not be worth the price of a new bag of appropriate sized talons, IMHO.
No, that is for expansion and contraction. Make sure you have the ones for three quarter.
I don't. Push 3/4 pex into talon and it holds. Please consider the environment before printing this email
No it will hold pex pipe tight
No, just nail it up as is.
If you do not want the PEX to touch the wood directly, we recommend that you use PEX clips ( http://www.pexsupply.com/PEX-Clips-197000 ) instead. They will allow there to be gap between the PEX and the wood, and are normally used in joist bay installations. This creates a more even distribution of heat.
I'm pretty sure all pex is atached directly to wood. The only problem you could experience is if some part of the tube is not properly fastened and moves or "kicks" during water operation. The resulting rubbing could wear out your tube in the long run (long, like 10 years...). Make sure the bends or corners are properly secured since this is where most of the "kicking" occurs.
Its recommended to use the tube talons about every 3 feet.
