Solid Foundation Plate for New Construction: Think Ahead
The EZ Vent 16" x 8" solid foundation plate gives every pipe, line and exhaust a clean, planned pass-through, before anyone needs one. Install it while the mason lays the block foundation or walls, and later trades can drill exactly where they need to, quickly and easily, with no chipping, coring or patching through concrete.
Fast, Easy Drilling for Every Pass-Through
One solid foundation plate gives you a ready-made location for:
- HVAC line sets
-
Water heater exhausts, including tankless units
- Electrical conduit
- Sump pump discharge pipes
When it’s time to run the line, drill through the plate instead of the foundation for a clean, professional finish.
How to Install a Solid Foundation Plate
-
Block foundations and walls: Set the plate in place while the mason lays the block, just like a standard block.
-
Poured concrete walls: Make a reusable jig to hold the plate in the form. Build it once and use it on every foundation.
Available in Multiple Sizes
Our solid foundation plates come in 16" x 8" and 8" x 8" sizes. Choose the 16" x 8" when you want room for several lines in one location. See all sizes in our foundation plates collection.
