Hi Bill,
When we moved into our house 11 years ago
I put a feed through in the concrete block wall.
I used 2 inch PVC. I drew out the size of the
circle I needed and cut out the drywall. Make sure
that there are not any 110v lines where you want
to put the feed through. Also try to place it so you
are going through a hollow spot on the block. Then I
drilled a series of small holes
on the circumference. Then I just hit it with
a hammer and knocked it out. Same for the outside.
I got some stucco patch at Home Depot and patched around
the PVC on the outside. I finished it by putting a 90 degree fitting on as
a weatherhead.
Don't fill it with expanding foam...you'll regret it. A small piece of
fiberglas insulation will keep out wind and critters.
Anyway that is what I did....the cheap way and still is fine.
I did much the same, with one added feature. I didn't trust the drip loops and
driving West Texas rains, (when we do finally get rain), so I made the drill
through at a slight downward angle to the outside. I know, after you seal it, it
shouldn't matter. I used some DAP I had from a bathroom project for the seal,
easily removable, (the landlord allowed a 2nd antenna later). Guess it was like
chicken soup, made me feel better. :-)
