I earlier posted this question and was told not to cover wiring as the wires could overheat, etc. So I was careful to lay out the rolled insulation away from wires.In the recent issue of Popular Mechanics there is a short article on blown insulation. Doesn't that cover just about everything in the attic?Now I am not sure what to do.Can the wires be covered or not?
the perfect way is to diminish the insulation a foot longer than the area to the cord, then chop up the insulation so as that it is going above and below the cord. start up a clean piece of insulation tucked tight to the finest. in case you fill up the bays, and also you should use extra insulation bypass at proper attitude to the first layer.extra is extra positive
cover them,it won't hurt.If you have alot of heat from your wires, they are not fused right or your breaker is too big for the job
Generally it would be ok, it really depends on the size of the conductor in your wiring. if it is 1.0mm square there may be a problem with heat build up and dispersal 1.5mm square is generally used thees days for lighting circuits and it would be ok to cove Hope this helps Good luck
don't know about any rules for it but all i do know is we did - no problems yet from it
