Ultra-fin require high temperature water ??

Kind of negates any savings of fuel

    - If heat track plates are 1" off the bottom of subfloor will the proper heat transfer still take place? Floor thickness is 1 1/4" (extending plates down 1" would avoid nails damaging the Pex tubing.

    No.

    Contact with the sub-floor is everything. Nip off the nails and screw/staple the track plates snugly to the sub-floor.

    What you describe is one hand clapping.

    Unless you are running a high temperature system (and even then using a different emitter) you just have to make contact.

    Unless of coarse. you use Ultra-Fin. Installed 3" below the subfloor.Perpindictu;ar to the joists, and alot of holes.
    There's an application for everything. Personally I'd rather drill than grind, but thats up to you.
