Hi,
I recently bought a property with an electric boiler in the garage (for both the house and the garage), and am installing gas and a gas boiler in the house now.
I am hearing different things about the temperature of the water/glycol mixture going into the floor slabs in the basement of the house, and on the garage slab as well.
Both slabs have nothing on top of them as of now, and I am wondering what the maximum temperature the pex piping in both slabs can handle safely ?
The pex pipes both have ratings of 180 deg F, and I am thinking of running the output boiler temp up to 160 deg F, on the coldest days of the year in Canada.
Or do I need a missing valve to temper the boiler temperature going into the slabs? Thanks for any answers.
