Building my radiant floor heating system. Can I put my hot water heater in a location other than near the dist. manifolds? All the pictures show the heat source very close to the dist. manifolds.
What would be the max distance if I insulate the feed lines? Would like to put the heater on the other side of garage, more space available. Not sure if there is a big heat loss because the circulation pump is moving the water, so it isn't just sitting in the lines.
Thank Jim

Mine is in the house and runs about 50 feet to the manifolds located inside the garage.

Mine run in 4" Sch. 40 PVC 4 feet underground to get there.
