I am trying to run a new electrical line but have a tight space where there is
a heating duct. That brings the cable close and potentially touching the house
heating duct. I saw a reference to cables in such a situation requiring
insulation or 1" air space.

What kind of insulaiton would you use. Household fibreglass? or is there some
special requirements.

Thanks
Chris


This is Turtle.

I would try Wire hangers and a 1" air space. Anything less than 1" of air space
is less that what should be done. So you may try running the wire in flex
condiut till it passes the duct pipe and then pull the conduit away from the
duct with hangers as much as you can or get the 1" air space.
