Over Air Barrier Electrical Plug Mounting Block – no hole means no moisture
In short, the best way to completely eliminate the possibility of moisture intrusion is to eliminate the hole! Therefore may we introduce to you the Over Air Barrier Electrical Plug Mounting Block. Since exterior electrical boxes are traditionally fastened to a stud in an opening through the sheathing, as a result the electrical box itself creates a large opening in the air/moisture barrier. For this reason professionals have used costly spray foam, flashing tape, and other products in an effort to eliminate the hole. However, these solutions are labor-intensive and prone to improper installation.
Avoid problems down the road
In contrast, this Over Air Barrier Electrical Plug Mounting Block puts the electrical box on the outside of the air/moisture barrier. Specifically, the only penetration through the sheathing and air/moisture barrier is a 3/4” hole for the wire to pass through. Moreover, this hole can be easily and completely sealed with caulking. Henceforth, you save time, money and eliminate the potential for future problems. In short, you can mount the Over Air Barrier anywhere! To summarize, this product mounts onto the sheathing and not to a stud. Specifically, you will have more options in the placement of the OAB Electrical Plug Mounting Block compared to an in-the-wall box. Finally, this product is made in North America, using high-quality materials.
