Can this be used to hold up insulation going into the ceiling of a crawl space?

it should work fine for holding up the insulation in your crawlspace I recommend keeping it nice n tight

absolutely, get strong wire cutters, this is not flimsy wire mesh, its great wire. marisa

We stapled ours to the trusses of our low-pitched roof. If you put it right on top of the insulation, it'll act as a vapor barrier, which you may or may not want.

It installs on the water intake pipe to the house. Mine is after the water pipe enters the house.I cant say if it would be able to stand up to the outside elements (rain, snow etc). I am sure in a crawlspacewould be OK, but not necessarily totally outside. It is an electronic device. Try the manufacturer for a beter answer.It has worked nicely for me for a few years.

If you want to use insulation only...I don't think it will keep it from freezing. If you wrap it with Heat Tape and insulation...yes, it will keep it from freezing. Heat tape works great on jobs like that.

Probably not. It screws into the ceiling so it will need to anchor to something.

We had a large hole in our wall behind a cabinet that rats were getting in through. We covered the hole with this and haven't seen one since. I'm thinking it would work for insulation too as long as the mouse/rat you are dealing with won't fit though the 1/2 inch holes.

Perhaps, the kit includes a steel plate with a hole in it. This can be screwed to something else. It may need an adapter to fit your specific application. The lazor has a magnetic mount that will stick to any ferrous object. I have used it to true up my ceiling joists.

It won't stop air moving - it's designed to let the building breath. But it will reflect back up into the room above the crawl space 97% of the radiant heat being lost into the crawl space.

Not sure...it does create air circulation when pointer up towards the ceiling, but I don.t know if it would be strong enough. Probably worth a try.

I wouldn't recommend it unless the area around the crawl space can be well ventilated

My husband said it was for insulation, not sure if that is the answer you are looking for.

No I don't think so. The plastic is hard and I doubt you could get a whole in it.It will stick on the ceiling with the right adhesive.

No, it will do no good under the floors in the crawl space. The foil reflects radiation from the roof decking material. There is no sun reaching the crawl space to heat up the flooring.

I have never used this in a crawl space in the soil, I use mine on the floor joist at some times to check for water penetration and it worked fine there. I would be concerned that unless it was a solid mud base to stick the pins in it would not read correctly there.

I have never heard of one being installed in a crawl space but unless your placement was quite close to a drain or the outside where you could use the built in pump to discharge the condensation you would have the big problem of increasing the dampness in the crawl space & you sure don't want that.

You could put an oversized canister over the light housing in the attic. Keep in mind that these will not make perfect air tight seal. You may lose heat or cooling if not properly insulated and sealed. I put my lights in the garage and a closet that I built. Both projects, I didn't have to deal with sealing or insulation.

In my experience, having some 30FT runs in a crawlspace, the 3/8 tubing would be fine, allowing slight sags between tie points. Be sure to create one large sag in the tubing near the exit point (which stays full of water) to help prevent air and insect intrusion.
