J-channel mounting block suitable for Prier C-134 series
I can't find the flange dimensions for the Prier C-134 series, but eyeballing the photos, I'm guessing 2.5" to 3" . This will make it too large for the typical J-channel mounting block used for hose bibs (Typically 2.25" wide internally). Or am I wrong? What model do you all use for these faucets with larger flanges? Thanks!

I can't picture what you mean by J channel? Unistrut?
Got a pic, typically the mounting flange screws into the building siding.

The only place I've heard of J channel is for siding.
Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

They one one of those mounting blocks with a channel bult in to it to land the siding in. there are all sorts of sizes of generic blocks with no hole available. If I were to go that route, that is what i'd use. I would just get a mounting pad that matched the angle of the siding and mount it through the siding myself.

I'm not delighted with screwing into the siding - it will deform the siding.
Here is the process:

Use a wooden block cut to the flange with whatever reveal you want and install j channel around it.

That's what I did with my electric meters so that the siding wouldn't be trapped behind them. I used pt wood.

Yes, it is a good practice to use what you have posted above. Some advice. Try to shim it out of that box a bit. At times, it can be very difficult to screw a hose connection on due to the type of hose or the depth of the sillcock in the recess.

There are mounting blocks that are made with siding channel and a flat surface that is more or less flush with the front of the siding, i would use that rather than the recesses niche.

Thank you all for the advice! I found a suitable sized utility block. Before and after photos …
