General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Extending underground PEX

Well, how would it be proven, a daily snapshot for the last 5 years showing it is not there, maybe? Of course, one snapshot showing it was, would be much simpler.

Does Rehau have a coupling device?

I use primarily Rehau and have not ever seen a coupling kit... However the 1" Thermopex has the same outer diameter as 1" Rehau does, I'd be willing to bet the Thermopex kit would work on Rehau. Fun fact, Rehau actually manufactures Thermopex for Central Boiler

This is absolutely not true, Rehau does not make Thermopex!

Care to prove that fact? It was stated right on CB's website when the 25mm came out

It would be more difficult for you to prove it was as I know for a fact it is not there now and never was. Not trying to start an argument I just think the truth here is important.

For most people the foil type will fail after a while, some get lucky, if you can keep all the moisture out of it, it may work for a while but eventually, the tile will crack or condensation will fill the pipe and cause tremendous heat loss. Putting it 6 ft in the ground will get rid of all the symptoms but can be really problematic when the pipe fills with water. Do yourself a favor and get a decent product, Thermopex is now available in a 25 mm size that works well for many applications and has a lower cost.
