ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area NMC in contact with spray foam insulation?

I've had the foam shoe on the other hoof as well....

I went a few rounds with an archy and his lighting lady here , who wished to have me install 12 cans in a vaulted ceiling, to be spray foamed.

They all backed up to a shingled roof as well .....

My concern was captive heat , from lamps , not the wiring.

There was a flurry of paperwork and manufacturers specs, re> can ,shingle & foam, bantered back/forth, but nothing to directly advocate the install of each in close proximity.

In my view, this should have been considered a listed assembly, or had a field rep visit, etc....

One can't be too careful as an EC, because almost everyone around an EC has either disclaimers(AIA 401 for archy's) or sovereign immunity (state officials)

I can count 12 'dots' in said roof when it snows here....:(
