Hi guys,
I have an addition on my house from the previous owners. There is one section where the copper baseboard hot water pipes exit the building envelope and then poke through the addition floor. Not the way I would have done it, but it's there nonetheless.
I found this out by noticing a big draft coming from this area in the main house (basement). The access hole that was cut is quite a bit larger than would have been required for the pipes.
My question is this: can I fill the gap with spray foam? I'm worried about flammability mainly, but the can says do not expose to over 240 F I think. Surely the pipe temp is lower than that.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave
