floor truss system

is a nice method that I have used on several transfer plate installs.
Open web truss floors are about the hardest to insulate. About the only way to batt them is with a ceiling below.
Is your system bare pex stapled below the subfloor? That is a fairly weak transfer mechanism. Be sure your loads are low enough to make that system workable.
Also be sure to allow expansion and contraction movement, of the tube, without creating noise issues.

floor truss systems
I'm looking for what you think is the best way to insulate below 1/2" pex tubing held to bottom of subfloor with pex clips when you have a floor truss system. do you think it is worth the effort to try to compartmentalize each space between truss's?0
