    Heat transfer plates, Stamped or extruded or none

    Dana, great explanation, However now with that understanding, I would have to ask," does the AL pex have a better heat transmission rate than a Pex-a-b-c?"

    Hi Guys, Gals, Not sure if this is the right place to ask this...(Frickin newbie)-I am a carpenter/construction super that has worked just enough with HVAC pro's to be dangerous, I am looking for some feedback about my latest idea, that is I have just finished installing all of the pex in my...
