slim jim, can you elaborate a bit. How do I obtain this? And what about size of the underground pipe?

1 inch Logstor is just over 1 inch inside diameter, typical pex here in North America is nominally sized         ( outside measurement), flow per gallon rates increase with pipe size as well as fitting sizes, close 90's reduce flow even more, plumbing in series as you appear to have yours is even worse as your plate exchanger then to the hot air exchanger will all have restriction and it all adds up, in a primary secondary loop, the main loop is wood boiler to inside and back to the wood boiler only, each heat loop is simply a set of tees placed closely together in the primary loop with it's own circ to pump from the primary out to the heat load and back to the primary loop, doing this ensures the best possible flow rate from the wood boiler to the home and back to the wood boiler

thanks slim jim, My original question had to do with using 6'' sdr pipe. IF a person primed and glued 20' sticks and pressure tested this before backfilling why would you think this would fail? I am just curious. I considered doing closed cell foam around conduit also as a sealer and an insulator. Also no one has offered any prices for logstor or comparable to me. again I cannot find this locally. They all have the same as I used previously and that isn't happening again. I would just like a ballpark price to compare.Thanks guys

GOOGLE is an amazing tool.  I searched "Logstor dual pex flex for sale" and came up with several sellers.  I randomly picked a pricing link for J&S Pipe in Michigan and their pricing was $11.50 per foot length plus shipping charges.

Anderson's is cheaper directly from their website rather than from eBay.  www.freeheat4u.com

I don't understand what the 32mm size is. Here are the I.D. measurement is off urecons website. Anderson's has 3 different sizes listed 32mm,1",and,1 1/4"

1 1/4" = 32.6mm
1".       =26.2mm

I could not remember where I bought mine, but searched on Google and it came up along with several others. Classic comfort in Ohio. Call and they will give you a price as well as a shipping quote. Great people to deal with!
