    The mighty mouse. I remember when the entire community where my work was, lost power for a long time when a mouse chewed through a main wire at a substation. I doubt there will be a problem but if there is, maybe it's better to be near the wall. You could access it from the outside. Measure where it is from the outside of the wall.

      I sure hope there isn't another spot about to pop but if the line can hold that much air pressure it should be ok since the boiler pressure is much much lower

      I should have known better given the rats I've seen in that shed. Just didn't think they were up top chewing on everything. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Hi. As profesional this is not correct tehnic. You have to use heat exchanger for outside heat floor loop/s. So outside heat floor loop is filled with liquid -40 and inside the house u can use any other liquid even a water, cuz heat exchanger dosnt let system mix. Not sure maybe you did it at the end.

      I disagree as the whole system needs to have a glycol mix to prevent freezing. It is possible for the outer tube to freeze as it's only 6" from the slab edge. Also, should we lose power for some reason in the winter and are unable to heat the house it could freeze the tubes. If a tube is damaged you can't easily fix it. Adding glycol is the cheapest insurance you'll get.
