Re: [AFMUG] Locating mud filled conduit

You can cram foam rubber down occupied ducts. Yes we use capplugs or tape for vacant ones. If you don’t over do it, spray foam is OK. It takes a bell hangers bit and a bunch of digging to get it out if you ever have to get it out. Sometimes you can just trim off the end of the duct. But it

Re: [AFMUG] Locating mud filled conduit

Yuck to spray foam. That shit is a bitch to get back out when you need it. Plugs are available for unused ducts. Haven’t usually worried about ducts with cable in them. I think I would prefer some type of rubber boot rather than foam. Mark > On Aug 20, 2020, at 12:58 PM, ch...@wbmfg.com
