Boral 130010006017 Gray Surface Mounting Block Siding

Product Description

The BORAL BUILDING PRODUCTS 130010006017 is a gray, one-piece surface mounting block designed for installing exterior fixtures on homes and light commercial buildings where the siding is already in place. The patented single-piece construction eliminates the need to cut or remove existing siding during installation, making it a practical solution for retrofit work. This block is compatible with multiple siding widths, supporting 4 inch, 5 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch, and 10 inch siding profiles. Weighing 3.5 pounds per unit, it ships in packages of 10, making it suitable for multi-fixture jobs or contractor stocking.

This surface block is used in residential and light commercial exterior applications where fixtures such as hose bibs, electrical outlets, dryer vents, gas line terminations, or similar penetrations need a clean, weather-tight mounting surface. It is particularly well suited to retrofit installations where disrupting finished siding would otherwise be required. Contractors working on occupied homes or renovation projects benefit from the post-siding installation design, which reduces labor and minimizes risk of siding damage.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by general contractors, plumbers, or electricians depending on the fixture being mounted. Before installing any fixture through the block, ensure all relevant utilities are de-energized or shut off at the source. Fasten the block securely to the wall substrate using fasteners appropriate for the sheathing type and local building code requirements. Apply approved exterior sealant around the perimeter of the block to maintain a weather-tight seal as required by local building codes.
