TUBING INSTALLATION TIPS & TRICKS
 
MEASURING TUBING
Getting the right lengths of Pex tubing for each large room loop can often be a challenge. Here is an idea that may make it easier and help you build a balanced system: Stand your roll of Pex on end. Have a person help you unroll one loop of the roll, hold it to the ground and measure it. Now you know the length of each loop. Next, count the loops until you come to 200 feet (or the length you need. Use black tape to mark it. Then, continue, tape-marking appropriate lengths. Now, as you lay out your tubing you will know were you're at.

DON'T SPLICE THAT PEX
Do you balk when you consider pulling that single 250-foot length of Pex tubing through all those drilled holes in your floor joists. You might think that you'll need all kinds of cuts and splices. Not so. Here's an easy way to install Pex in one long length.
