Can PEX piping be used for a cast iron hot water radiator heating system?

Right now, the system is a combination of original galvanized steel pipes
and more recently added copper lines. I am just wondering if when moving
the location of a couple of the radiators for a remodel job, can I use PEX
to reconnect the radiators at their new locations?


dumb idea, and its not code.


I've seen PEX used to supply hot water to wall heaters in new construction. This
obviously passed inspection in Seattle.

O.P. - contact your local inspector for the final word.
