Do I need Oxy barrier PEX for this?
Hi,
I’m cutting out some sections of my 1″ copper baseboard radiation piping where it’s buried in my basement slab (it’s developed leaks after 50 yrs of contact with the concrete).
I know that if I had lots of surface area in a radiant slab system with loops of 1/2″ PEX, that you should use PEX with an oxygen barrier.
However, If I’m just splicing in a total of 50′ of 1″ PEX piping to re-route sections of my baseboard hot water loop, do I really ned PEX with the barrier???
Thanks!

yes.
If you value the longevity of your CI pumps & boilers, YES!
Looks like there's some agreement on this!Thanks!
