PEX radiant heating systems

How to carry out such terminations? It is obvious that the space between the pipe and sleeve, located in the partition, you can stop the material from which you may not require sealing. But if the sleeve is in the ceiling, it is likely to ensure the tightness of sealing would be a requirement. This is because in case of accident, such as risers water PEX radiant heating systems of MT of PEX pipe, water should not pass through the gap between the pipe and sleeve on the lower floors. Concerning the amount of shells and determination of the liner protrusion beyond the building elements should bear in mind these considerations:

* A requirement that the shell appeared at 50 mm above the ceiling, I think, not in all cases may be mandatory;
* With this value is acceptable for the premises (for example, bathrooms or showers: they tend to provide waterproofing beneath the floor), where possible the rise of bottled water level above that mark a clean floor. This sealing sleeve around the pipe must be sealed;
* In some cases, be sufficient, if bush will speak from the floor by 5-7 mm;
* Excessive protrusion sleeve outside wall hardly advisable. The shorter the sleeve, the less will it cost and, consequently, the cost of its installation. It seems to be quite enough to not be any obstacles for the finishing works (plastering, painting, wallpapering, tile, etc.);
