Siding adapters

[Oakey]

I have just purchased the biggest siding adapters for outside lights the warehouse could sell me and they are 13 inches tall(mega plate). My customer bought 2 lights that are 18 inches tall and the siding is 4 inch lap. Any suggestions where I could get my hands on 18 inch adapters? Thx guys , hes a good paying customer and hate to let him down..

Sometimes I've had to use the meter base J-Blocks. I think they're around 22" square. If the siding is already up, you'll need to pick up a Malco Sideswiper tool to unzip a couple of rows of siding to install that J-block and reinstall the siding. No big deal.


If that doesn't suit you, the Arlington Mega Blocks, at 13" tall, are the biggest on the market at the moment, other than the meter j-block.

The back plate is 18" ....holy moly.

A "super mega plate" is only 15.5" - http://aifittings.com/new_images/8100MLP-full.jpg

Thx for the replies..Yes 17" and no one makes them that big. We went to the lumber supply and bought plastic white PVC boards 3/4" thick, 8" w x 36" long, cut in to size and made our own, recessed the pancake right into it.. Amazing what a router will do and the owner loved it. It really did look good...
