I've used some Great Stuff to fill gaps around the radiator pipes coming into my apartment, but the bottle claimed it was flammable. Am I safe leaving it in place? Anyone had experience with this?

Hmmmm
I don't have a can handy, but do they say its flammable before its set, or does this continue after its set?
In a way its immaterial. I would suggest keeping such things away from steam pipes. The great stuff will turn brown where it is in contact with the pipe. Oh. Even if it were not potentially dangerous, just wait till the heat comes on and you get to sit through a wonderful cacophony of squeaking foam around expanding pipes. I'd use fiberglass where necessary.0
