I used Watts 3/4" radiant PEX between the 2nd floor and the basement in a 200+ year old house as a chase for 1/2" Wisbro hePEX. Will this be a problem as a result of differential rates of expansion? I did not want the Wisbro PEX to be abraded as it was fed through this chase to and from the header.

I have done short sections like that to avoid abrasion from metal plaster lathe. It worked just fine."If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough"
