well you guys know that i have built a garage and i was able to get 180 feet of pex 1/2" tubing to put into the floor for supplemental heating purposes to warm up the floor when i am crawling around working on the car. i have ample other electric heating (14,000 btu) so this is really just a supplemental heat source.
i am planning to use an electric hot water heater as the heat source for the radiant floor heating but i need help in figuring out and sourcing the tubing connnectors and the mechanical aspects of the system like the type of the mechanial pump and whether i need an expansion tank or not. i don't have any first hand knowledge of this type of system so if any one can help me figure out and source the actual parts i need to hook up the two pieces of pex 1/2" tubing to an electric water heater i would appreciate it. thks bob
