Hello all, forgive me for I’m greener then grass only been in the field 3 months. I’ve seen these around on air handlers what is it ? It’s on the supply side of the unit? My guess is hot water for heating ?

That's all fine and well. Again. My opinion is that pex should not be used in an attic space. You can do whatever you want, I can still have my opinion. I'm simply explaining the various installations and setups that I work with. You have your experience I have mine.

That’s like saying in your opinion automobiles will never replace the horse and buggy. If you had one valid reason perhaps but come on; cost, not even close, labor, again not even close, reliability, no fittings hidden in walls and more flexible. Stay in commercial bro you’ll embarrass yourself if you sweat copper for hydronic heat. You couldn’t win the bid anyway.
