Hi,
Looking for ideas on what piping to use to pipe between two buildings. Based on the distance of the run (about 150'), I've been recommended 1 1/4" pex wrapped in the foam insulation, and this is going to run $14 a foot.
Any other options, for piping or for dealers who sell this stuff?
Thanks.

Make sure it's Pex-al-Pex not "regular" Pex. They should be seperatly insulated. On a short run it might be OK to run them together and insulate, but on a run as long as yours you'll be making a long narrow heat exchanger if they are not seperated. By the time the hot water got there it would be cooled by the return line if they ran together.
