What type of PEX Tubing should I use for Radiant Heat applications?

If there are any ferrous(metal) components in your system, such as cast iron taco pumps, iron valves, black fittings, cast iron fittings... you must use an oxygen barrier PEX Tubing. The oxygen barrier will prevent rusitng of these components in the system. At SupplyHouse.com we sell five types of Oxygen Barrier PEX Tubing. These are Wirsbo HePEX Tubing, Mr. PEX Tubing, Zurn Barrier Tubing, Wirsbo Multicor PEX-Al-PEX Tubing, and Safelink PEX-Al PEX Tubing. A further discussion of these items will be available early next week. For Radiant and Hydronic heating systems without ferrous components you may use any type of PEX Tubing sold on SupplyHouse.com.
