Thermoflex Insulated Pex

[10range]

I am planning to run heat from my boiler to the garage this spring and am wondering if anyone has experience with a product called Thermoflex? It appears to be a decent product but I would like to hear some feedback about it before I would use it. The one run that I have from the house to the boiler shed is ThermoPex. The run from the garage to the shed will be quite a bit longer and I can purchase the ThermoFlex at about 75% of the cost. Our soil is dry and we will be putting the lines 4 feet down.

Thanks for any feeback.

You can buy it like 3/4 off the regular price? How much a foot is that?

There is a brand of underground pex out there that is misleading. I'm not sure if it is thermoflex but you need to ask, and get it in writing, that the foam insulation you see encasing the pipes is a continuous piece that travels the entire length of the pipe.

When I was looking into buy the stuff, I found one manufacturer that shows a picture of the foam sticking out but the foam was nothing more than a 6 or 8 inch piece that was acting like a spacer.. they refereed to it as insulated.. Ya right It was a con job piece of junk. (maybe that's why its 75% off if its the same thing)

I'd be cautious. Sounds too good to be true

Sorry, I should have said 3/4 the price of ThermoPex.
