How long would the experts here recommend making the individual heating circuits for the underfloor heating?
I need about 1350-1400 m (4400-4600 ft) total length. With 12 heating circuits, that still results in roughly 112 m (370 ft) per loop. Is that too long or acceptable?
Can anyone estimate the pressure loss over 112 m (370 ft) of 16x2 mm (5/8 x 1/16 inch) pipe?

A rule of thumb is that 1m² (11 sq ft) corresponds to approximately 10m (33 feet) of pipe with a 16mm (5/8 inch) diameter and a 10cm (4 inch) spacing, or about 7.5m (25 feet) with a 15cm (6 inch) spacing.
