I’m running my own Uponor and the longer runs in my house will unfortunately be going perpendicular to the floor joists for most of the run length. It’s a one story with crawl space and fully insulated between joists, and PEX homerun system.
Suspending them from the bottom of the joists (Similar to gas and power conduit seen in photo) and then adding pipe insulation seems to be the easiest option, but I’m wondering if pulling back the insulation and boring holes is the better move long term?
The longest runs are the main water supply (about 40 ft to the manifold and then 3 exterior faucets lines with the longest being 40 ft). Most dedicated lines from the manifold will be in the 20 ft range. As for groupings of dedicated lines running in the same general directions, I’m looking at roughly (10) 1/2 in. lines running towards 2 bathrooms and 4 lines towards the kitchen.
