I am going to be running pex in a converted garage (slab) with a full bathroom and small kitchen. At this point the joists are not completely enclosed, resting on the top plate where the rafters are not covered yet. There is a loft area above the lower floor. I was going to utilize the area above the ceiling joists around the edges of the loft floor since there is about four feet of perimeter space where the loft floor does not reach.
I heard that pex should not be run in open areas where mice or rats might get to the tubing…..that it’s better to run in enclosed spaces, like walls (between siding and drywall) This would impact my idea of running above the joists (or through or between them for that matter) and I would need to stay in the walls. Advice? Thanks
