A horizontal loop systems utilize network of sealed and pressurized plastic pipe that is buried into the ground horizontally just below the earths surface. Horizontal Loops are installed in areas where the soil conditions allow for economical excavation. Taking up more land area than any other loop type, they are used where space permits. The pipe is buried in horizontal trenches at a typical depth of 4-5 feet and at a length of 500-600 feet per ton. A typical home requires 1/4 to 3⁄4 of an acre for the trenches.
