Options for PEX in Joist Bays

When installing a radiant system in joist bays under a wood sub-floor, you have several options for attaching the PEX tubing. Your PEX tubing should not make direct contact with wood. You can use Joist Trak aluminum heat transfer panels, or alternatively you can suspend the tubing using PEX clips. All the components for each system can be found at SupplyHouse.com. We also have a new Radiant Heat calculator that can tell you which items you will need for your particular system and the quantities of each.
