The'll provide more than enough hot water.
Wow...i like the idea of having the Pex in the attic . It would certainly be hot in the summer months as my attic gets to 130 f., but, in the winter months i dont think my attic reaches 90 f. ...but i could be wrong. I kinda wish it were winter now so i could check it out. Thanks ...will have to consider that.
