Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Moisture at exterior spigot penetrations is a common source of wall rot, so a split block with water channels is a smart detail on any fiber cement job. Because it splits apart, you can retrofit it around an existing hose bib without disconnecting the plumbing. Choose a color that matches the siding or trim, and add the small animal guard on open pipe penetrations.
Follow manufacturer instructions when cutting siding openings and seal around the block per the siding manufacturer's requirements to prevent water intrusion.
Protect your wall penetrations with the Mid-America WaterManagement split block.
