Blocked Circuit in Radiant Snow Melt System

We have a snow melt system using 3/4" Onix tubing. There is one circuit that won't heat and my assumption is that the tubing is kinked. Any ideas as to how to locate the kink? The circuit is about 380 lf and an electrical fish tape won't go thru the bends. When the circuit is pressurized to 100 psi there is just a trickle of flow so I'm assuming that thermal imaging won't work.

    Unfortunately, at present, there isn't a way to locate a kink with thermal imaging (you can't get flow anyway) nor with doppler ultrasonic testing...
