pex design - concrete exit

[gogolf0401]

Have a nice looking implementation for how your pex comes out of the concrete?

Did you use PVC elbows for organization? Something else?

Looking for ideas on how to support manifolds and pex before/during a pour where there is no wall yet.

Here’s how I did mine

I had the luxury of having the first pour end by where the pex entered.

I installed a 5 foot unused piece of pex for a temp sensor .

I used strut channel about 6" above the concrete top yo secure the conduits

Did you drive the strut channel into the ground and then run it horizontally 6" above the concrete? What did you use for conduit, just PVC elbows? Pictures?

PVC elbows.

I think most people use pvc electrical conduit sweeps as pictured by Stingry

Ya, probably. Wondering how folks support these mid slab.

Wire above slab level connected to the slab perimeter and tying them into the rebar mid-slab below slab level. You basically stabilize them. If they're mid-slab, they'll have an exit point somewhere and hopefully you can stabilize the run.

When they pour, you can have them adjusted as long as someone is paying attention. You want to be present at the pour anyway.

I used this for my garage slab. They keep it neat and compact. I only needed a 4 loop, so 8 total lines. I just cut off what I didn't need...

Sky-Hooks! Or you could box in the small area where the sweeps are coming up. Use some grade stakes to support the tubing temporarily within that area. After the slab pour pull the forms on the small boxed area, line things up as you want and pour it.

Run pvc conduit, pour concrete, then fish you pex through the conduit. Makes it easy to repair/replace the pex later.

Similar to post #2 but instead of letting your pex run on the ground, put in pvc conduit pipe. Then run the pex through that

You're saying to run conduit all over the floor where the pex is going to be and then try to push the pex through the conduit after concrete is poured?
