57 QuestionsQ: i am running a closed loop glycol system using ethylene gycol...is the pex tubing resistant to this appliction

Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffHello, thanks for writing in. This can be used with propylene glycol, however it is not for use with ethylene glycol.
Q: We are considering using ten 300' 1/2" coils in a 6" thick concrete floor in a 2800 square foot shed we are building. Does this need to be covered with a tarp from the time we are installing it until the concrete is actually poured to protect it from sunlight? I don't think it would be more than 3 or 4 days from the time we started until the floor was actually poured but we don't want this to degrade.
Asked by WPB 9 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffWe suggest covering it. Uponor lists 30 days is the maximum exposure to UV before voiding the warranty. UV exposure can cause the PEX to degrade and breakdown. We suggest keeping the tubing out of sunlight and covering it to be safe.
Q: I've read that pex type B can deal with chlorine better than type A pex. We have have chlorine in our water but I do not know the concentration. This will be used for hydronic heating (baseboard). So I would prefer type A but am concerned about cracking from chlorine. Thanks!

Yes you can. Follow the recommendations for entry and exit out of the concrete. Basically it needs a sleeve for movement at those points.

Q: I am installing a 70 k boiler .Is using 1 inch hepex for my main supply and return run to and from the header (approx 25 feet away) acceptable.This is a typical hot water heat install.thankyou for your response
Asked by none 13 years ago
Add your answer
Yes, 1" should work fine. I have a similar set-up and have no issues.
The 1" HePEX should be OK, but it is not very flexible. It sags a lot when filled with hot water so be sure to support it at all right angle bends and every 24" on straight runs.
While the 70kbtu you chose will do 7gpm a minute and the 1"hePex will do 8 gpm. Is this your secondary loop and or are you looking to feed any zone branches?
I personally feel that 1 inch would probably be too small for that long of a run(25'). I don't know any details about your setup so this would be my best guess. What size fittings do you have on the boiler? Or what is the max size pipe you could go on the boiler?
It will probably work. however you will most likely need a reducer to 3/4" to get into the heater itself depending on what the unit you are running to looks like (ie: wall mounted radiator, baseboards, etc.) I WOULD absolutely consult a professional HVAC company for advice before you purchase this item or begin your work. For me, they were nice enough to help me come up with a plan give me a supply list, then I did most of the labor intensive work (running lines, hanging boards, etc.) then they came in at the end, added the circulator pump and made all the final connections. It was a great way to save money. Hope this helps.
I need to know how many zones will be tied into the 1" what size piping is on each zone and how many feet of heat on each zone. Then I can answer your question. Regards
Q: I'm remodelling my basement and need to relocate the piping for my first floor hydronic baseboard heat (which is located in the basement ceiling). I have used PEX to replace all of my hot/cold water plumbing and would prefer to replace the existing 3/4 copper piping for my heating system with PEX as well. I have two questions: 1) Is the 'hePEX plus' suitable for this application and if not what should I use? 2) Can I use Sharkbite press-on connectors with this tubing?
Asked by Kev 13 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply Staff3/4" hePEX should be suitable for this application base on its size and the fact that it has an oxygen barrier. hePEX is compatible with all types of standard PEX fittings (including SharkBites), in addition to expansion-style fittings.
I have used hePex but I would not use Shark Bite fittings.
Yes you can use hePex plus for heating applications. Just double check the sizes of the hepex vs. the copper because the way they size them is different.. I did most of my hydronic heating loop with this several years ago and no problems. I cannot help you with the sharkbite part of your question as I did not use that type of fitting. Sent from my Toaster Oven
Yes to both questions. Any pex to be used in a hydronic system must contain an oxygen barrier. Make sure to use a stiffner with any quick connect fitting in pex
why replace the copper? the amount of expansion contraction with heating is a lot and copper is very good at this Frank Hyder www.frankhyder.com
I do not recommend use any plastic tubing for baseboard hydronic heating because working temperature may be up to 208F. This temperature make Uponor tubing very flexible and soft. If plastic tubing must be used allow space for expansion and retraction , no sharp edge against tubing, plastic clips hold tubing every 12". I never use press on connectors on Uponor tubing but if Your fittings design to use on cross linked polyethylene(PEX) tubing You may use them. Uponor made superior quality PEX tubing. Thanks
Pex is used as a heat source for in the floor radiant heat. Check on line for radiant heat-pex.
