Okay, so here is my situation. I am going to build my new house, 2 story AARX forms, the bottom floor will be an open air basement with 1/2" Pex tubing at 8" O.C.. The situation that is getting to me is the amount of conflicting info on what to do with my second floor. The floor system that I am looking at is open web wood floor trusses at 16" O.C. and spanning 20' clear.

What I did find was a product, here is site http://www.radiantcompany.com/details/ where is says I can use 7/8" Pex at 16" O.C.. I guess I am more looking into results others have had with similar situations. Personally I do like this set up because the load is reduced considerably compared to other set ups I found. Gyp-crete is totally out, fiance' works with a flooring company, she says no to it.

Any input would be appriciated.

 
Sorry no help here. Guess your pretty far north to be installing floor heating?
