Description

Product Overview

The BUILDERS EDGE SMS68TW Split Primed Mounting Block is engineered as a high‑quality wall‑mount conduit holder that combines durability with a ready‑to‑paint surface. Constructed from cold‑rolled steel, the block is primed to accept any finish, allowing seamless integration into residential or commercial interiors. Its compact dimensions of 12 × 9.5 × 6.5 inches and a weight of just 1.25 lb make it easy to handle while still providing the structural strength needed for heavy‑duty applications.

Designed with a nailing flange, the mounting block offers a secure attachment point that can be fastened directly to studs or joists. The primed coating not only protects the steel from corrosion but also serves as a perfect canvas for paint, ensuring the block can be color‑matched to surrounding walls or trim. This feature is especially valuable for contractors who need to maintain a clean aesthetic on finished projects.

Compatibility is a key strength of this product. It is suitable for installing spigots, gas lines, bib lines, and door bells, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of plumbing and electrical tasks. The block’s design accommodates standard conduit sizes, providing a reliable pathway for wiring while keeping the installation tidy and organized.

Since its launch in 2015, the SMS68TW has earned a solid reputation among professionals, reflected in a 3.8‑star rating from 49 customer reviews and a best‑sellers rank of #18 in Electrical Conduit Mounts. These metrics demonstrate consistent performance and satisfaction across both DIY enthusiasts and seasoned electricians.

Additional specifications include a product depth of 6.5 inches, a finish that is primed for painting, and packaging that contains a single unit ready for immediate use. The block is shipped without batteries or additional accessories, focusing solely on delivering a reliable mounting solution.

Usage

When installing electrical conduits in new construction or renovation projects, the SMS68TW provides a straightforward mounting solution. Its wall‑mount design allows installers to position the block at the optimal height for easy access to spigots, gas lines, and door bell wiring. The primed surface ensures that any paint applied after installation will adhere smoothly, preventing unsightly rust spots or mismatched colors.

For residential applications, homeowners can use the block to neatly route wiring for outdoor lighting, garage door openers, or interior outlets. The block’s sturdy construction supports the weight of multiple conduits, reducing the need for additional support brackets. In commercial settings, the block’s clean lines and paintable finish help maintain a professional appearance in office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities.

Installation is simplified by the pre‑drilled mounting holes that align with standard stud spacing. A drill, screwdriver, and a few nails or screws are all that’s required to secure the block firmly to the wall. Once mounted, the conduit can be snapped into place, and the primed surface can be painted to match the surrounding décor, creating a seamless look.

Electricians and plumbers alike appreciate the block’s versatility. It can be used in both new builds and retrofits, making it an essential component for any toolkit. The block’s ability to accommodate a variety of pipe and conduit sizes means fewer parts to stock, streamlining inventory management for contractors.

Because the block is primed, it also resists moisture and minor impacts, extending the lifespan of the mounting point in damp environments such as basements or outdoor enclosures. This durability translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer replacements over the life of the installation.
