How to block UV from PEX

Anyone have recommendations on how to block UV light from the PEX tubing in my basement? *All PEX runs are bundled and run just under the ceiling joists, but I have three large windows that let in quite a bit of light. *I will eventually build a soffit to isolate these pipes, but want an interim solution since I've read that PEX should not be exposed for more than 30 days and I won't have time to build the soffit in the next 30 days. *Foil wraps, paint, etc? *Any recommendations for something that'll be quick and easy? You're over-worrying, but if you must, wrap in aluminum foil and get some sleep. |

How to block UV from PEX
Other UV resistant options include wool blankets (think moth) and
burlap feed or flour bags (meal worms). Mylar space blankets may provide some UV resistance. I'm going to enjoy feeding this thread. -- .. "JoeSpareBedroom" wrote in message ...

That will generate a "How do I get rid of all these spiders?" discussion 6 months from now. :-) |
