Own house has 5T HE, 80 ft of 3/4 Cu pipe inside 1-1/4" PVC pipe. 40 ft across basement ceiling and back. Sloped to control return oil flow of course.
I like this concept.

It seems like this would provide a very efficient HEX without the hassle of coiling. Plus, it makes your basement look awesome! Is this the system you posted some temps/flow rates on in another recent thread? How did you seal the ends where the 3/4" copper exited?
