Here is a link to a pdf file which might help. http://www.hotwaterproducts.com/HTP/Pdfs/925%20controlled%20munchkin.pdf I am doing hot water heat in a garage at present which iam useing a gas hot water heater an expansion tank,temp sensor,a bleed valve to remove air,and a grundfose pump,a line voltage thermastat,and about 300 hundred foot of pex tubing which is tied to the wire in the concrete.You should use about one foot of tubing per one square foot of floor space.You would probably be better off buying product from a heating and plumbing supplier tha on the web!I have tried to find good info before but couldnt. Cant figure out how to post a pic!

radiant floor heat (none / 0) (#2)

My next house will use radiant floor heating, so I've been doing the research on the proper tubing, pumps, solar assist, etc. Nice to know someone got the job done. Any specs on your pump? The tubing itself is cheap enough, it's all the commercial control circuitry that costs a fortune. thanks, troy

Here is a site with some nice units which you could put on your outside walls, http://www.aimradiantheating.com/store/slimline.html or you could epoxy tubing to allunium strips or solder copper pipes to copper strips,you could make a press for alluminum or copper by notching a piece of wood say half an inch then for experiment sake try a strip cut out of a beer can laying it over the wood and pressing it with a dowel rod down into the groove that way makeing a snap on fin system, you can also buy these for under floor heat! Good luck
