The oxygen barrier PEX is designed to keep oxygen from escaping the tubing and rusting ferrous metal components of the heating system. I doubt that would harm potable water in any way. I say go for it.

Quote: "Question to Premier Garage... why are your cabinets so highly priced when it is a simple melamine product? " As a former installer for PG, I can tell you that the prices you are quoting includes the labor to install them. Huge difference! I feel their cabinets are a good...

Thanks blkhonda1991, Its nice to know that theres somebody out there that realizes how intelligent I am!:bounce: Now can you convince my wife of this please ?:beer:

Apparently there is more than one type of system, and probably depends on who did the installation. They seem to range from simple to very complex. I will be making a few upgrades to my system, one of which is adding a spiral vent to keep the air bubbles out. From my research I have concluded...

Quote: "That would be like parking on a hill." That's the idea! Water flows downhill. Like I said, I have 3.5" of pitch over 22' in my garage, and water still pools in there due to the slight waves in the floor. Its common knowledge that .25" per foot is the standard for getting water to...

I'm not as concerned with the stem wall as I am with the amount of pitch on the floor. You stated that there is a 2" overall downward pitch in 20 linear feet. That's quite shy of the recommended 1/4" per foot when draining water. If my math is correct, 20 feet of floor should pitch down about...

If I'm reading you correctly, you are concerned with sitting water in the heating system contaminating your tap water? If so, you have nothing to worry about. These are two different systems and are separated by a check valve that only flows water in one direction. There is no need to close...

Hi everybody! I'm new to the forum and just wanted to show some pics of my homemade garage cabinets. I was looking for economy as well as function, and I think I pulled it off with these OSB and Poplar framed cabinets. They are 48"x31"x17" and they hold a tremendous amount of stuff! I built...

...looks good! But I have a concern with any plastic or rubber tile floor. How does it breathe? Does the moisture in the slab get trapped under the tile, and will water seep into the seams or joints of the tiles? Also, what does it sound like when you walk across those floors? Thanks...

As a former installer of PG products in WI, I can vouch for the fact that the quality of the job is more dependent upon the individual installer than the product itself. I believe the coating to be first rate, and if the floor is prepped properly, the floor should perform as advertised. Our...

As a former installer of PG products in WI, I'd like to address the OP's concern. I can vouch for the fact that the quality of the job is more dependent upon the individual installer than the product itself. I believe the coating to be first rate, and if the floor is prepped properly, the floor...
