My New House Build

buffalobillpatrick · 11-04-17, 09:27 PM

Pex Layout in MBR

1/2” Pex-A. Mr Pex brand, nice flexible stuff.

4 loops, 165’ each, 6” on center, Counter Flow pattern.
This allows for very low pumping electricity usage due to low head loss.

4 heating zones in house, each has its own Grundfos Alpha (about 5 Watts on low)
Continuous circulation in heating season, about 8 months a year.

Master Bath along North wall is its own zone, 1 loop, so it has its own thermostat so I can keep bathroom 15* warmer than Master bedroom, shower has a heated seat.
