multi strip plug units

[Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner"]

Any idea if those mulit strip units with 110 plugs would withstand my kiln temps of up to 160 degrees?  I want to install them in the new kiln unit, that is a insolated sea going refer container, 41' long.  The inside is lined with fiberglass, on the walls and ceiling.  I thought that a H shaped clamp would hold them in place and use pvc conduit to house the wireing to each of the units.

As I don't have a kiln, I can only say....Why wouldn't they handle the temps?

I can't imagine the 160* temps hurting a plastic product.  I know the shed I keep my mower, tiller, and all the other junk I don't want in my garage/house have to put up with temps that exceed 150*(inside shed when it's 100+ degrees) in the summer sun....no plastic melting going on in there!

Thank you, Scott.

I'd go steel boxes and conduit if it were mine.  You're going to break one of those plastic outlets with a board and they are all made in China by the lowest bidder.

Steve, I thought of that issue.  I am putting them near the ceiling to help eliminate that poptential problem.  I have to way to attatche the steel boxes to the fiberglass covering on the inside of the unit.  The boxes would stick out further than the strip unit.

In the long run you won't be happy with the power strips.  Corrosion from the high humidity will be a problem.  You really need "industrial" grade electrical stuff if you want it to last and be safe.  The heat is not the problem it's the acidic water vapor and condensate.

How do I attatch the plug box to the fiberglass lineing of the container? 

[Stevem]

How thick is the fiber?
Molly screw would be one way.  Toggle bolts another.   

Epoxy with sheet metal screws to hold it til set?

Several of the fasteners used in dry wall should work.

Also that fiber is attached to something like a brace of stud that can hold any outlets.
