[TVARC] Drilling through 'stucco' walls for antenna coax

[Rich Erlichman]

I had the builder put it in when I was having the house built. But make sure your contractor does what the builder did for me (following the picture).



There is a weather cap/animal trap that I kept in place and punched a hole through big enough for the cables, and then sealed it with something like RTV.

 

As an alternative, MFJ offers a panel that fits in the window frame with various types of bulkhead feed-through connectors, to allow for cables to pass in and out, and still maintains the security/integrity of the window. I believe Pete/K2PS has that.

Hi.

I am planning to drill through from our front 'office' to put in a pvc pipe for a coax feedthrough. 

The home is concrete block an 'Iris' model.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
