Check plumbing supply or any concrete forming
supplier.  The ties are special made for attaching radient heat pipe
to rebar or remesh, and for tieing rebar together in slabs and
forms.  These suppliers will also have the attachment that fits in
the chuck of your drill.

You will be happy to know that the tank we built at Lama is full of water
and working fine.
