Posted by Gary on January 24, 2008, 3:34 pm Please log in for more thread options I'm building a house right now myself, and would like to put solar hot water panels on the roof in the future. Right now I would like to run lines from the boiler room to the attic for future use. Can I use 3/4' Oxy Pex for this purpose? TIA Posted by Solar Flare on January 24, 2008, 3:43 pm Please log in for more thread options By oxy, I hope you mean O2 barrier. Just watch for long term UV exposure. Other than that PEX is very tough. You may not want it to freeze with water in it though. > I'm building a house right now myself, and would like to put solar > hot water panels on the roof in the future.
