Customer Reviews for VEVOR PEX Heat Transfer Plates, 50 pcs Box Radiant Heat Transfer Plates, 4 ft Aluminum PEX Heat Transfer Plates, 1/2 inch Heat Transfer Plates Designed for PEX Tubing

These plates are an inexpensive way to attach PEX to your subfloor. I purchased some extruded aluminum plates off of Facebook marketplace to help with my installation. These mount to the subfloor and the Pex "snaps" into it making installation easier. They are VERY expensive, so I cut these into 2FT sections and used at the ends of the loops to hold the Pex up while I stapled up the VEVOR plates. Also, I've heard lots of people complain about *ticking* noise like baseboard from staple-up floors. I haven't heard my floor at all. I give these VEVOR plates a 4-Star just because of their heat transfer capabilities. Where I installed the extruded aluminum plates on my floor is noticeably warmer than where the VEVOR plates are. I would not call them a "plate" either, its more like thick aluminum foil. It definitely conducts heat, but the surface area in contact with the floor really depends on the number of staples you put in it. I think the inefficiency lies with the lack of uniform contact with the floor. Also note, I have not insulated the joist bays, and the Pex is in a crawlspace. They will definitely work better once they are properly insulated. If you live in a very cold climate, be prepared to insulate those joist bays.

I’ve had radiant heat in the concrete slab before, but not like this in the subfloor in the joist cavity. It works better than I expected! Easy to staple up. I put insulation under before set walking. (Make sure you pressure test first!!!) I had a few hidden leaks that needs fixed. PEX B worked great.

it's usable - the thickness is on a thinner side - but according to the description. the 1/2\" pex - fitting there as it should and nice depth of the groove. packaged good - came undamaged
