Are they still in business? I got their contact info from the Urecon guys and actually visited their website. It now appears to be defunct.

Badger has 1 1/4" Pex, fittings and crimped at very low prices. Their wrapped pipe isn't the quality of foam filled if you're on a budget and careful about drainage to avoid water logging it can work.
They have the best prices on big Pex fittings I've found. So if you can get standard 1 1/4" pex foam filled you could use their fittings.
I'd imagine Richard could get that.

Freeheat4u has decent prices on the Rehau foam insulated pipe.

At all costs I'd stay away from the wrapped pipe, even with proper trench prep, ( that adds to the cost) if you notice a temp difference, it's too late, short of digging it up and replacing it with what you know you should have bought the first time. The foam filled will save time, money and aggravation.

Yes that's what I'm doing this spring.
My fault didn't do the research on pipe the 1st time

Sounds interesting, I'll be interested to hear price per foot. A couple things that come to mind are 6 inch pipe is going to be astronomically difficult to bend , 4 inch pipe already has a pretty big bend radius. The other thing is that you say the r value isn't enough with the 4 inch pipe, the 4 inch pipe loses less then 1 degree per 100 ft of pipe. How much less could that be?

I'd like to hear more too. Can you share who this company is?

 

[Bill322]

Yes also wondering company name also what's local mean?
