| 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. |
