M. INSTALLATION OF UTILITIES

Electrical and plumbing lines install easily, and in accordance with code requirements, into SmartBlockPlus walls by simply cutting a channel into the foam after the concrete is placed and placing the wiring or piping into the channel. As there is fully 2-1/2” of foam insulation in the finished wall, you can fit a 2-1/2” O.D. diameter pipe or electrical conduit into the wall without any additional preparation. The channel is cut into the foam using a hot knife, or a router, which provides the necessary depth to meet code requirements. Electrical offset boxes can be cut in a like manner and screwed to the attachment stud with mechanical security, or glued into the wall with a foam adhesive.
