Application for Great Stuff in sources near heat

That looks like an home owner repair. If a sheet metal person /duct installed did that they need to be took out behind the wood shed.
There is no need for the great stuff if the duct was installed properly. It looks like someone did not want to buy some duct wrap.

Homeowner reported he did it the day before the inspection. This is more commonly done around vent boot registers in attic ceilings.

I've never seen spray foam used that way. Phillip's right, a proper installation would have eliminated the need for foam, but aside from the MSDS, what's the concern? Heat pumps don't generate air temps very high, only about 90 degrees or so.
