I'm looking at moving a baseboard register to make a door way to the adjoining room. Although it could be replumbed with copper access is limited and I thought it would be MUCH easier to use PEX instead.
I can get a Zurn 3/4" crimp tool and the local home stores have the tubing and fittings. I'm just not sure if this is a good approach.
Questions:
1. Can you use PEX with baseboard heat?
2. If answer to one is yes, can the PEX be the same as the material used in a water supply as long as its rated to 80psi @ 200F or should the tubing be of the radiant floor kind?
3. How important is the oxygen barrier? Would I need tubing with an oxygen barrier to keep the boiler components on the boiler from rusting out?
Love this forum...all input is appreciated.
