    Psi rating for radient floor heat panel test???

    One thing i know for sure is the thicker your floor is the more efficient the heating is . i have one building with a 4'' floor and one with an 8'' -9'' floor ,the thicker floor heats better and cost less to heat over the winter . the extra cement will soon pay for itself .

    Oxygen & Acetylene setup advice

    if your just going to heat and cut and not weld why not use propane and then you only need to buy one contract for the oxygen .
