    Depends!

    We have done jobs where we stapled the PEX right onto the foam underneath a 4" slab. And we have also attached the PEX to re-barb and they have pulled that into the center of the 4" slab.

    The top of the tube should be embedded in the slab to a minimum depth of 2 inches below the surface.
