General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Recommended Pex Install

« on: October 15, 2017, 03:34:40 PM »

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and still reading around old topics.  But I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on which Pex may be the best for my situation?  I read through the option for direct burial, but don't really have a great local option for a foaming contractor.  That being said my local Heatmaster dealer sells the Logstor 1.25" for about $13 a foot.  I also have access to ThermoPex 1" for $11 a foot, or I see that this website, http://www.freeheat4u.com/REHAU-1-INCH-INSULATED-FOAM-FILLED-UNDERGROUND-PIPE_p_41.html is selling their 1 inch at $8.99 a foot.

I am looking at 225' of pipe from my boiler to the house.  From what I can see everyone prefers the 1.25" for larger distances, but is $4 a foot worth it?

Thanks for your thoughts
