Pex-AL-Pex for between the joist radiant

Member Posts: 8
I'm planning adding staple up underfloor radiant heat between the joists of the first floor of my house.
I have access to some leftover Pex-AL-Pex 1/2 inch tubing. Has anyone used Pex-AL-Pex to run the radiant loops between the joists?
How much more difficult is I compared to regular oxygen barrier pex?
I'm concerned it will bend and kink.
Thanks!

Thanks hot_rod. I decided to go a different way since it is more difficult to work with compared to regular oxygen barrier pex.hot_rod said:It can be done, but usually a two person job
If you are threading through holes drilled in joists, that is where you tend to kink it
Do you have fittings for it?0
