Go to http://www.heatinghelp.com and buy Dan Holohan's book "Hydronic Radiant Heating, a practical guide for the nonengineer installer" I've probably bought and given away ten or more copies over the years.
I finally got around to buying the book. can't wait to see it. On another radiant heat note. what fittings do you use? I see on the pexsupply website that there are 2 or three types, expansion, sharkbite and one other, I think...thanks

We use the ones with the black compression rings that are sold at our local Fergusons plumbing supply and also stocked at Lowes for late night emergencies. All the bestMichael------------------
