What is PEX-a Tubing?

PEX-a Tubing refers to PEX Tubing that is made using the Engel method. This method refers to the crosslinking process used when the PEX is created. The resulting PEX is stronger then PEX-b and PEX-c tubing which are made using other methods. PEX-a Tubing may be used for either Radiant Heat or PEX Plumbing. All of the PEX Tubing sold on SupplyHouse.com is PEX-a Tubing.

What are some benefits of Radiant Heat?

The components of radiant heat systems are not visible in the spaces they are heating. On the contrary other forms of heating have visible components (radiators, vents, ducts...). These components may create issues in terms of designing a given space.

Why are there Cast Iron and Bronze Pumps?

Cast Iron Taco pumps are designed for use in hydronic heating systems. The most popular of these is the Taco 007 Pump. Bronze pumps are designed for use with hot/cold water systems. For purposes of radiant heat, if you are using a cast iron Taco Pump, you must have an oxygen barrier for your pex tubing. This would include Wirsbo HePEX and ThermaPEX Barrier Tubing.

What is the difference between the Wirsbo SSC Fittings and the Wirsbo ProPEX Fittings?

The Wirsbo SSC fittings and the Wirsbo Propex Fittings both accomplish the same thing. They make connections using pex fittings and pex tubing. The SSC Fittings are clamp style fittings and require the SSC Tool and SSC Clamps. When using the Propex fittings the tubing is expanded using an expander tool. Propex rings are needed to secure the connections.

What are my options for Radiant Heating in floor joists?

There are several options for radiant heating between floor joists. The two most popular are using joist trak and using pex clips. With joist trak extruded aluminum plates are placed in between the joists, and the PEX Tubing is snapped into these plates. When using pex clips, you attach the pex clips in between the joists and run the PEX Tubing through these clips.

What controls do I need to zone a radiant heat system?

There are several different ways to control the zones in a radiant heat system. The first is to use zone valves to control the flow to individual manifolds in a radiant heat system. The second way is to use actuators (either thermal or motorized) to control the flow of each loop on a manifold. By doing this you can create more than one zone on a given manifold. Finally you can use pumps such as the Taco 007 pump to control the flow to each zone. There are advantages and disadvantages to each method. Depending upon the particuliar radiant system you are designing, one application may be more beneficial than another. (11/6/05)
