Is it OK to overlap copper heating pipes with electrical wiring inside aluminum pipes?
New electrical wiring (in aluminum piping) on the wall passes very close to and crosses heating pipes that are copper. The copper pipes (from the boiler) give out a lot of heat, would that damage or in any way cause problems with the electrical wiring that is in electrical tubing?
Answer:
just insulate the pipes with foam in the area where it comes close to the conduit and your fine. otherwise no, the conductors in the pipe are likely only rated at 75c.
