Routing pex from the boiler to the house
« on: September 12, 2012, 08:44:12 PM »

My shop is between the house and where the boiler will go, I was thinking I could run the pex through the shop saving me 55 feet of trenching.
The issue I see is I would have to route the lines over the doorways. Anyone think this would be an issue?

You going to try to run the shop, domestic water, and heat your home all on the same loop?

Going up and over the door ways will add some head but with the proper pump it shouldn't be a problem, were u going to run the underground line inside as well or use regular pex and insulate it

I tried that same thing and the pump I had the Taco 00R-MSF1-4IFC 3 speed with 21’ of head did not work. I thought about getting a bigger pump but I did not won’t to spend the money. So I ran it in front of my garage and put the heat exchanger for my garage in the crawl space under my house and just piped the air back in to the garage. But my house and garage are attached if it wasn’t I might have just ran a separate line and a second pump.
