Are they using the same white tile for the 5 wrap? 

[RSI]

Same but larger diameter I think. I haven't gotten any of it yet. I am going to do my own testing in it.

10-4. Let me know what you find out yourself. 

I installed probably a tractor trailer load of it over the past 2 years.  I haven't had any complaints or problems, just the incident in the driveway.  I'm not saying I'd never sell it again or anything like that, it just made me a little nervous as you can imagine

Looks like for the price its between the Badger  or the z-supply.  When putting this pipe in the ground should i put a base of sand down and then over the top to protect from  rocks

If you have any rocks in your soil I think it's an excellent idea

Just watched Jeff's video on z supply, I was thinking it was gonna get real good but he never mentioned any of the foam filled products in the film, I think maybe in some way that may hurt his products appeal if someone watched that video trying to decide whether to buy foam filled vs wrapped lines..

He did have some good points though especially in regards to the radiant barriers...

its not to rocky but i might do it just to be safe.

No reason not to, it's just some added insurance

Does Badger have a website i cant seem to find it.  See a bunch on ebay.

[Scott7m]

They do but i haven't looked at in a year or two, no info there I don't think

They primarily deal with dealers not the public

[automan77]

can you get me some info on that badger pipe?

[willieG]

do a google on badger underground pipe or maybe the link below will work

There is some for sale on eBay right now that sells for $1000.00 for 150'. Would that be Badger or Z-Supply, or neither one?

[automan77]

That's the Badger 5 wrap

RSI have you tested the Z 3 wrap pipe. I have an 85 foot run of this in a trench at a depth of about 2.5 to 3 feet and I am seeing quite a bit of snow melt over the trench. My yard is all sand and ground water is at a 5 foot so I know it is not getting wet. I am running a Grundfos 15-58 at medium speed. Boiler set at 185 and 175. Also I am seeing a lot of heat exchange between the supply and return lines.
