What is the pipe material for residential radiant floor heating?
Would like to know the most common of effective material and the approximate amount of pipe/ft2 if possible. Any sources with this info would also be great.
Thanks!

Steve G: Probably the most common pipe in use for new installations is PEX. PEX used for heating has an oxygen barrier. It's called PEX-Al-PEX (the barrier is aluminum).
