DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON A BOOTLEG TYPE JOB. DO IT CORRECT AND DO IT ONCE. PEX IS NOT DESIGNED FOR STEAM CONDENSATE WHICH IS WAY HOTTER THAN RADIANT TEMPERATURES. . ALSO CONSIDER THE FACTS YOU WILL BE REDUCING THE ENGINEERED PIPE SIZE AND THE INTERIOR WALLS ARE MOST PROBABLY CAKED WITH CHUNKS OF MINERAL DEPOSITS THAT WILL MAKE RELINING A NEAR IMPOSSIBLE NIGHTMARE.0 -
not to mention.......
