Yea ridgekid you could do that, its just over time that i worry about. it's just a touchy situation for me as a dealer to put my faith in it.
gmviso, Yeah i own the business and deal with this stuff everyday. As far as your triple wrap and 5 wrap pipe it's not regular drain tile that it's in. At least not in some cases! The triple wrap i usually use comes in a white pipe, its tough as nails, i take pieces of it and set on sharp rocks and stomp it showing my customers how tough it is. I've ran over it in rocks, stomped it, you name it, and have yet to tear it up. Of course I was just running over the white casing around the triple wrap.
Now was far as your quality of line, your going to pay a lot more for thermopex or logstor or something like that. Performance wise, I'm not sure if your ever going to get your money back. I've seen water in triple wrap go over 100' and leave the stove at 180 and still be upper 170's 100' later. Sooo.. How good is good enough?
If you want the absolute best line available, you need to look at logstor, its pretty amazing stuff. You can run it like 150', water temperature at stove will be 180, and 150' later the water temp will be like 179.7. It's just crazy good. But expensive.
