Hi, does anyone know if they make any type of flexible heating/hot water pipe? I have one tricky spot that I need to get around and it would be a lot easier if I could just use a 2-3' chunk of some kind of flexible or bendible pipe. This would need to be full 1 1/4" ID pipe with threads on each end, or at least sweatable ends.
Thx, Pat
 
Watts Radiant offers a product called Onix that is an EPDM heating hose. It may only be available up to 1" however? This was built to be a hydronic product and includes an O2 barrier.

Any hose supply company should be able to build a short hose with the connections you need. MPH (multi purpose hose) It needs to be rated for the temperature, pressure, and type of fluid.

Dayco and others build a silicone rubber hose that was used by Lennox years ago to connect solar panels on the roof. I bought some short sections a few years back. It can handle the heat and temperature. Take a credit card.

PEX to a barbed fitting would work, but 1 1/4 does not bend much!
