[papercreters] Re: crosslinked polyethylene tubing

3 inch diameter?

Don't you think that's extreme overkill for trying to bury in a
radiant floor?

That sounds like a size approprate for a public water main. I cannot
imagine trying to bend something that large into a pattern that would
heat a floor without kinking the tubing.

I've never seen pex used for drain/waste/vent, but maybe it could be
used for that. I don't know if it would pass code or not. PVC is
the most common, ABS is less common, but also used, and cast iron is
old school for DWV.

A typical home construction simply will never use that large diameter
of PEX.
