What is the significance of the tinned straneded copper wire?

Is it more conductive?  If so, why not just use a larger stranded copper?

The point of the tinned copper wire is corrosion resistance.  Plain copper wire would corrode and likely cause the system to fail over time.

It's also important because using anything other than tinned copper voids the system's warranty.

Indoor Air Quality is directly correlated with respiratory illness.  The last thing you want your mechanical system to do is to distribute dust, mold spores, pollen, and other particulates throughout the structure. Because radiant heat does not blow allergens, it helps those with allergies and asthma find dramatic improvement to their symptoms.
