Hi,
Would like to hear how well the PEX flattens out.

I can remember debating with myself over using PEX or CPVC in my similar length trench, and finally deciding on CPVC because I did not want to fight with the curl in the PEX, but I think PEX is the better choice for durability and heat resistance -- and no joints underground.
