Relocating a hot water heating pipe
I am finishing my basement and I need to move a heating pipe over a few inches. It's in a tight spot and it will be very difficult to do if I use copper tubing. I have some red plumbing pex. Does anyone know if I use it to relocate the pipe or does it have to be heating pex?

Oxygen will pass through the wall of standard pex tubing. Allowing oxygen into your heating system will cause it to corrode and fail. In a properly functioning system, the oxygen in the water is driven out by the heating and removed with air removal devices.
