Cutting into vinyl to run feeder

[davidfite1978]

I am going to be putting vinyl on my shop this summer as part of my complete remodel. I've seen where you can buy electric boxes for exterior outlets and lights that are ready-made for vinyl and include the "j-channel" so all you have to do is **** the vinyl right up to it. What I'm wondering is if there is a similar box to install where your feeder comes in? So that I don't have to simply drill a big hole in my vinyl, push the pvc through the hole, and silicon it when I'm done.

I've seen flat lighting blocks, but you'd need to drill a hole in it. So really no difference that just doing the drilled hole in the siding. I haven't seen anything made for vinyl siding that you are looking for.

The single gang outlet trim rings only have a ~1" hole pre-drilled in them. Just drill the size hole you need with a hole saw and you are good to go.
