Abstract

See full text

A split-block recess mounting apparatus having a two-piece base assembly and a one-piece cover member. The two pieces of the base assembly include structure for allowing interlocking of the two pieces together before the pieces are secured to an exterior surface of a building by nails or threaded screws. Each of the two pieces includes a central wall portion having a cutout which, when the two pieces are secured together, forms a continuous opening for permitting passage of a conduit, cable or other elongated member therethrough. The cover member is securable without any external fastening elements to upstanding inner wall portions of the two pieces of the base assembly to form a means for providing a decorative, finished looking appearance to an area on an exterior surface of a building surrounding a conduit or other member projecting through the exterior surface. In preferred embodiments the upstanding inner wall portions include inter-engaging portions and the cover member includes engaging areas. The engaging areas engage with the inter-engaging portions to permit the cover member to be adjustably spaced from the base assembly to accommodate sidings having various thicknesses.
