If you use manufacture properly splice kits, there won't be any issues. Access is a good idea, as long as you can keep water out. Near impossible in some soil, and if the ground freezes, the box just became a mini pool.

Just for kicks, some should submerge some spray foam and see what it does.

I've seen what some of it does

u have an open invitation sprinter to go to martyinmi house to see his water logged thermopex

Well PTL my wife is so gracious. I can put the

 unit where I originally planed and will have 10 extra foot of Logstor. No splicing needed. Don't you just love them.
Lot of good feed back on this subject, thanks to you all.

If your wife is anything like mine, you don't get nothing for nothing, Hold on, retribution is coming, might be hard to sleep at night for a while. Glad it worked out for you.

Short of dragging the mini X there, I will be glad to check out Marty's line set. Just keep me updated when the dig will begin.

I am more than certain he will let you know,  there is already plenty of pictures on here of his lines

[Sprinter]

are there pics of the actual pipe and connections? I might have missed it but all I did come across was some snow melting on the ground.

There was but not sure if there still here as the admin deletes direct pics often

I talked to him last night and I can assure you hell be making a public invite to you to come up.  Hes also going to make a video of it, showing the places where his casing split.  he is also going to put a piece of it in his vice for folks to see water come out of it.  He has been putting thermometers in the soil above his deep buried thermopex and the ground temps above the line set are often over 10 degrees warmer

Hopefully it will be a good learning tool for all

I like that idea cantoo!

[Sprinter]

Thanks, any idea when, and what county?  When you say deep, I thought his post said 18", either way it sucks. And if it hasn't been dug up yet all diagnosis are speculative guessing so far. If it does turn out to be a manufacturer defect in anyway, I'd be willing to bet the manufacturer will cover it, and keep the story quiet. Just from other pipe manufacturers responses to failures and what they did to remedy the issue. Its a sales and reputation killer for sure. So documentation is critical. I don't have any problem helping someone out that gets boned by the big guy. As I'm sure many others will to.

You'll have to ask Marty the full details,  but I think I remember him uncovering some of it to find splits and I think they sent him some mind of tape to put over it, but don't hold me to that as I hear so many stories it's hard to keep them straight

But he will contact you I'm sure

[slimjim]

I'd bet money on it, any takers, even money.
