Under ground piping. [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Rehau makes a similar product.  "InusulPex", or "DuoPex"  I know that Rehau
product is available in various lengths to so you can eliminate any
underground joints.  Also, it has two pipe in the same jacket so you can
take care of your supply and return at the same time.  I think the 2 pipe x
1.25" stuff runs about $20/ft.

I think the moral of the story is to "keep thermal panels on the house".
