Came up short

Chris K

Am installing a joist trak radiant floor. We were trying to use up a partial roll of tubing and came up about 3 feet short of reaching the manifold at the end. Should I pull this all down and redo with a full roll or can I get away with putting a coupling in the end to reach the manifold?

If I put a coupling into one loop, should I put a coupling in the second loop so the flow loss will be even or just even the flow with the valves at the manifold. I still need to hit the flow rate of 2.5gpm through the floor and don't know if that coupling will screw things up..

Thanks for any help....

put the coupling in - only leave access to this area if possible incase you ever need to check/recrimp your connection.

joint

use a compression by compression coupling, heat shrink over it after it has been pressure tested. Fill it up. Have a nice day.

Do not put a joint in the next loop to balance the flow. Use the flow setter on the manufacured manifold to balance flow.

Thanks!! Whole lot easier than pulling all that tubing down again.
