2" steel pipe radiant!

A friend is working on a Frank Lloyd Wright home in IL. Bare 2", welded steel pipe in the joist bays. The wood floor above has tiny slots to let the heat escape.

Portions of the home froze and split the steel pipe!

Here is a similar application I found online.

Great discovery. I learned alot about heat & Radiant experimented with similar strategies just to see how they would work. Mad Dog

Hi, I'm thinking "rust never sleeps". 🙀. Otherwise, how likely is it the pipe could split?

Yours, Larry
