Is this rated for direct contact with insulation?

No. I would not let direct contact because it gets a bit hot. I would not allow it to touch cardboard insulation sheet-rock is barely ok. I don't know about fiberglass.

Check the actual wattage... It is safer than a standard light. But with all lights, it should be clear of debris. After all you have 110 VAC plugged in...follow the manufacture instructions.. Totally safe

It can be used in an exterior location. I would recommend sealing the Pl 259 connector from moisture.

Yes, it came with a foam packer about 2mm thick that effectively packed around the perimeter, probably so it didn't act as insulation.

If this is for a residential installation it doesn't matter since this is a low voltage cable as most low volt cables are compliant in residential homes. If this is for a commercial building then it will need to be plenum rated which this cable is not, so it is not suitable for commercial application.

The unit is not designed for wet environments. It is designed for outdoor use. I would suggest that if you plan to have it in a location that will be more than just humid or damp, you should consider a different unit. I have mine for generator hookup. I have used some sealer on the point where the cable enters the housing. Like any commercial connector that is not designed for submersion, you do not want the connector on wet soggy ground or in any standing water. It should be elevated and protected from rain, sleet, snow and other water. I would say the same for any plug system.

No. These are designed to prevent your insulation from heating up and catching fire from direct contact with light.
1677075
Yes, it is safe to place directly on a surface because the unit has ventilation to prevent over heating.

Yes. This cable is self regulating to make sure there are no hot spots/burn outs. The cover picture on our box shows foam insulation over the tape installed on a pipe.Hope this Helps Mike.

I wish I knew how to answer this question but am afraid I'm not much help. Here's a link to the specs but I don't see anything about insulation. http://docs.homeclick.com/PE-Links/TOTO/TOTO-MS604114CEFG-specs.pdf Good luck!

IC rated, but not to be used in direct contact with spray foam insulation, per manufacturer specifications.
1373204
No... It's Class II protection of electric shock. Is not subject to any limited power characteristic. It defines, that all touchable parts of equipment areisolated by double or reinforced insulation.

It is not double insulated so suspect not. Ask someone at Home Depot about the Electrical Code Specs.

No, not outdoor rated. They are other companies that make outdoor wire connectors that are water tight. There are also landscape lighting companies that make pressure fit boxes.

I no longer have the packing box, but the tag says UL rated. It looks like a high quality cord and box. I have used it for hot plates, but not an electric heater. I would be guessing if I said it was safe... but I'd feel comfortable using it for a heater now that I've seen it.

Yes. It is rated for wet locations. I currently have this wrapped around a pipe and partially buried in dirt. Just the plug needs to be protected.

I am surprised that users and sellers alike are recommending that you can use the embedded wire to ground your hose. That defies all the laws of electricity! Plastic is an insulator. The problem we are trying to solve is the build-up of static electricity within the hose. A wire isolated from the static environment (inside of the hose) by insulation (the plastic it is embedded in) cannot possibly stream off any electrical charge! It has to be bare within the environment. That is why the manuals from Jet, Grizzly, etc. say to use a BARE wire inside the hose. Otherwise, they would say to use ANY wire. You have, in effect, the equivalent of an insulated wire laid inside your hose! Useless!

Yes. This fan is rated for direct contact with insulation. Being a fluorescent bulb, it does not generate very much heat...
