How is wiring accomplished in Murus SIPs?
If ordered, Murus cuts horizontal electrical chase(s) into the panel cores in the center of the foam. Chases are typically located at standard horizontal heights for outlets, depending on how the panels are ordered. In some cases, you may have to do some pre-wiring before the panels are installed and during the installation process, but often the majority of the wiring can be accomplished after the panels are installed. For more information, refer to the Murus Panel Installation Manual.
Electrical chase(s) are incorporated into the panels during the manufacturing process. The chases are centered in the foam and are typically at standard horizontal heights for outlets or counter top receptacles. Vertical chases can also be specified. The majority of the wiring is accomplished during or after the panel installation. For more information, refer to the Murus Panel Installation Manual. How is plumbing accomplished in Murus SIPs? A little planning during the design phase will keep plumbing installation simple and no more difficult than in any other building type. Place plumbing in interior partition walls according to accepted building practices. How are Murus SIPs installed? Where SIPs are load bearing, they are typically installed over a 2x plate that is attached to the sill or subfloor. The foam is removed from between the skins so the panel sits over the 2x and nails are driven through the skins into the 2x. Usually a double 2x top plate is installed in the same manner.
