I off and running!! install in progress! 1st pic is of 5' of peeled pipe ...so I can insert it into my 6" abs pipe that I have under the slab and stubbed up into the inside slab> I also placed a hard plastic line in between them so once i'm done I can "add spray foam and seal the line from the inside to the out side ! ;) 2nd pic is oF the black mean snake laying in the yard :-X ..waiting to fight with me ! 3rd pic ..Is just a shot looking down> "the white foam surrounding my shop" pipe to enter under footing is under it ....(slab on grade) 4thpic> it my thermo pex INSIDE a 6" pipe ..the flex stuff u buy in a coil at the big orange " home death spot" (THD)...I ran some 10/3 wire along with it ...more to come as I plan to box in the pipe ...like a T with two legs insulation on both side and a board of it across the top

Does that stuff bend easier than the stuff with the smooth outer shell?
-
Yes Thermo Pex does bend easier, the corrugated outer layer is also thinner and the water lines are nominally sized, I think one of the top 3 choices on the market. :thumbup:
-
it's a azz kicker to bend imo just peeling it is no fun.....
-
When we did my cousins thermopex we took my 18 volt circular saw and set the blade just deep enough to go thru the outer cover, went around it then made four slits the length wise, piece of cake to peel it off.

Where did you purchase your Thermo Pex? Cost? Thanks in advance.
-
I did mine the same way Mlappin. I used a Fien multi tool, 4 long cuts, once around pipe and finished.
