well Greg, i just roughed a job where that newer closed cell insulation was 'flashed' 3" in 2x6 construction. It was requested that i, as the electrician, violate this membrane as minimally as possible, so all the devicing is done via 1.5" depth 4 squares , w/ gangboxes for switching via 1/2" emt sleeves.

i'm rather big on conductor protection myself btw
