Yes, the PEXALGAS system can be installed underground or into concrete in accordance with the installation manual. When installing underground, the pipes must be laid at a distance of at least 3 feet from any waste pipes and positioned above them. The piping does not require any specific protection when laid underground, as long as an appropriate bedding is prepared for the pipes and they are covered with a layer of at least 8 inches of fine sand or strained clay. However, it is important to note that underground pipes that enter the building must be fitted with a sealed sleeve at the end to prevent water, gas, and animals from entering the building. It is also worth mentioning that Jones Stephens does not recommend burying brass fittings or components. For detailed instructions and guidelines on installing the PEXALGAS system underground or into concrete, please refer to the PEXALGAS Installation Manual.
