Hello All, I don't have any links in general though I could probally dig up something, what in particular? Any good home center or Home Depot or Lowes should have all this hardware in stock. I'd contact your local HVAC or Heating contractor to ask him about the possibility of buying/aquiring the re-habbed sections. This is very common up here in the Northeast but as for you more southern climes folk, the use of Forced Hotwater may not be as prevalent. The sub-floor heating just uses decent quality cheap vinyl tubing whch you fasten to the underside of your sub-floor with small plastic fixtures, the tubing just snaps in. You could use a good quality/volume Aquarium/Pond pump (Maxi-jet, Hagen, Eheim, others) to run it or use the standard impeller pump that mounts in a small cast housing that the tubing/pipe attaches to. If you were actually building a new home or installing a basement slab the vinyl tubing can be laid directly in the concrete which serves as an excellent thermal mass for absorbing heat.
