Abstract
A housing assembly for mounting to a wall of a building is disclosed. The housing assembly includes a front plate attached to a back plate. The back plate defines an axis and has a flange extending radially away from the axis for coupling to the wall. An insert is disposed between the front plate and the back plate. The insert includes a central body having a fluid diverter extending outwardly from the central body for guiding a fluid away from the wall. The housing assembly further includes a locking device for selectively coupling and uncoupling the insert from one of the front plate and the back plate.

12. A housing assembly for mounting to a vertical wall of a building, said assembly comprising;
-
a back plate defining an axis and having a flange extending radially away from said axis for coupling to the wall with said back plate defining a void along said axis, a front plate attached to said back plate for aesthetic purposes, an insert disposed between said front plate and said back plate and having a central body with a fluid diverter extending outwardly from said central body above and below said void for redirecting a fluid flowing transverse to said axis around said void and away from the wall, and a locking device including a first coupling member selectively engaging a second coupling member with one of said first and second coupling members affixedly connected to said insert for selectively coupling and uncoupling said insert from one of said front plate and said back plate. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
