Came across my first rubber hosing radiant heat system and wondered if anyone else could help identify it. No markings on it other than "See BOCA Evaluation Services Inc. Research Report 90-61".

No problems noted at the four sets of manifolds, two for heat tubing stapled under the plywood main floor, two for tubing in the basement concrete.

System was installed in 1996/7.

I had no luck with Google and BOCA 90-61. Found a few other BOCA reports but not this one.

Anyone have any links or references for BOCA ES documents?

I am hoping that the 1995 date code on the hose, and the lack of the words Heatway and/or ENTRAN II means it isn't. Everything I have read says they quit making it in 1994.
