Is there anything like Plastilock electrical boxes for use with conduit in an ICF wall? Plastilock apparently went out of business.

Sure looks like it. Must have closed up between Jan 4 and May 17, 2014. The web archive wayback machine for www.icfelectrical.com page for Jan 4 has a note "Business For Sale" and for May 17 a "Page not found" image.

Yes, I remember seeing it for sale for a while. Must be no buyers. Our economy in the US has hit a number of businesses. There are less investors and venture capitalists willing to gamble.

I really like the idea of Plastic conduit being installed prior to the pour. It adds a headache to laying the foam blocks but saves a headache of cutting grooves into the foam later. I suppose I could just put in the conduit before and add the boxes after.

Anybody use other boxes that work well?

I used Brad and his Plastilock boxes for my ICF, they worked well. He is one of those guys that tends to have a lot of balls in the air at once, maybe this got to be just one ball too many.

I spoke with the owner last month and he said he and all of his product is still is around, just nothing on the web.

These are the ones I used for my ICF build, really like them. http://www.ipexamerica.com/Content/Products/Product.aspx?ProductId=109&SubMarketId=17&MarketSegmentId=5
