Anybody have experience in laying PEX in place before pouring the concrete? I got the pipe last night and have been laying awake wondering how it's done. . . :roll:
Originally, my supplier was going to lay the pipe for me, but I didn't give him nuf lead time and now he can't do it in time for our planned pour on Friday.
There are a few good sites for DIY but any advice would be appreciated.
Like, do you set the roll on a turntable/spinning jenny and pull it off like high tensile wire? Or do you carry it on something and spool it off as you go?
We are using 5/8 inch pex-r-pex pipe on 18"centers. It comes in 400' rolls.
This is going into the workshop floor. One obstacle is a section of floor that is 12" thick along one wall where we may set some iron-working machinery in the future.
Thanks.
