Poured-in-place concrete walls formed and insulated by the <strong>Quad</strong>-<strong>Lock</strong> ICF system will accommodate electrical wiring<br />
and fixtures, either in the concrete cavity before the pour using conduit, or after the pour by cutting chases in the foam for<br />
wiring and boxes.<br />
NOTE: CONFIRM THE FOLLOWING WITH LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIALS BEFORE BUILDING<br />
While conduit can be set prior to the pour, field experience has shown that the after-pour method for placement of wiring<br />
runs, boxes, and fixtures allows much more flexibility and is easier and less expensive for most electrical needs.<br />
Recommended Tools<br />
Field experience has also shown that several tools are useful in placement of electrical wiring and boxes in <strong>Quad</strong>-<strong>Lock</strong><br />
forms. These include:<br />
• Hot Knife kit (Wind-<strong>Lock</strong>, Demand Products, or other)<br />
• Electric chain saw for wiring runs<br />
• Router for wiring runs<br />
• Drywall saw<br />
• Small roto-hammer drill<br />
