[MR P BODY]

I wont have a choice, I will have to cross a control joint... what
do you do... tube over the pex?

They don't do anything here that I have seen. Run the pex, pour and cut the slab.

How big is your shop/garage? Do you have a boiler yet, if so what brand and
size? I've been doing some research but I'm still unsure

 

[nate379]

It's attached to the house, 24x26 and house is roughly 35x40

Boiler is a Burnham, nat. gas unit.

I put some pipe insulation around. It was recommended by a friend who built a radiant house. It was cheap and quick insurance. Here is a pic.

Didn't realize they had insulation for pex. I will have to check into that as I am going to insulate the heat pipes and water pipes. I'm use the white fiberglass stuff though, like you see on commercial buildings. It's way more $$ (about $30 for a 10 ft stick), but I don't have a ton to do so not a big deal.
