talons and pex

rrekih · Nov 13, 2009

I am using 1/2in and 3/4in pex and supporting it using talons.
What is the max. spacing between talons?
I have noticed the the 3/4in pex that I have running down the joist warps a lot when it heats up.
I have the spacing at about every 2ft.
I have also run my 1/2in pex for the radiant heating in the joist space up against the floor. Once again the talons are spaced about every 2ft.

It is a C shaped piece of hard plastic with a nail through one end.

The picture is small but I hope that you get the idea.

2' is well within the code requirements here in Canada. In Canada pex tubing must be supported every 0.8m (or roughly every 2' 7").
