Horizontal Loops

Horizontal loops are installed if adequate land area without hard rock is available. A horizontal loop installation is usually the most economic. They are often used for newly constructed homes but can be installed in retrofit projects. The horizontal system uses a number of trenches, a single pipe, multiple pipes in a narrow trench, or multiple pipes in a wider trench. The trenches are normally four feet deep or more, and vary in length depending on the number of pipes buried.
