ATTENTION
Plumbing, HVAC, and Electrical
Wherever possible, route plumbing, wiring, and heating or air conditioning ducts through interior partition walls or spaces. If necessary, they may be installed in the vertical stud spaces of the PWF walls. However, studs, plates, structural blocking, and framing anchors between foundation wall and floor framing should not be cut or removed. In some cases, it may be necessary to provide a furred wall or ceiling chase adjacent to PWF wall for routing plumbing and ducts.
Electrical wiring in PWF walls may be routed vertically within the stud spaces to outlet boxes or switches, and pass through drilled holes in the top plates of the foundation wall for routing through floor joist spaces to other locations.
Insulation: When installing insulation between studs in the below-grade portion of basement foundation walls, provide a space of at least 2" between the end of the insulation and the bottom plate.
Print Attention Tags and put on each foundation wall.
