running 3/4″ pex piping for hot water / heat – anyone have suggestions how to insulate pipes that are nailed onto the joists running in the same direction as the joists?
thanks

If you are talking about feed lines for your radiant heat, they should have been insulated before they were nailed to the joist, i.e. they should have been run with stand-off hangers allowing enough room to get insulation around them. If you are talking about the actual radiant line thats fastened to the sub-floor the whole joist space should be insulated with the reflective side pointed toward the pipe.
