Electrical Conduit Spray Foam

I recently had a conversation with a couple members of my family who are both electricians.

Electrical conduit spray foam.

In their continuing education class the instructor mentioned that the national electric code is monitoring the use of field applied spray foam and electrical wiring that becomes imbedded in the process. There have been failures in the wiring because of the heat that can build up in the covered wires. 1 normal spray foam has chemicals in it including solvents and formaldehyde which dissolve the insulation on electrical wiring ditto to caulks 2 putting foam in there will thermally insulate the wiring potentially causing it to heat up more than it should. Typically rough in electrical will be done before spray foam is applied with final connection of fixtures and other devices occurring after however it is often impossible to avoid running at least some circuits in insulated walls after the spray foam has been completed.

Invert can and insert it into the gap between wall and electrical box. Store upright with a foam dispensing gun attached. When ready to change cans shake the new can of foam for a minimum of 60 seconds. Always leave a can of foam attached to the gun with the flow control screw closed.

The fst seal has excellent adhesion to pvc rigid steel emt imc fiberglass and polyethylene conduits. Fst is a proven solution that has been used for years to protect switchgear panels riser poles combiner boxes meters and all types of electrical and telecommunication apparatus. Activate can by pulling the trigger.
