Abstract: An apparatus is configured for attachment to a work surface. The apparatus includes a first rail, a second rail, and a tension element connecting the first and second rails. The first rail is configured to be fixed to the work surface, the first rail having opposed first and second ends. The second rail is configured to be movable with respect to the work surface, the second rail having opposed first and second ends, wherein the first end of the first rail is hinged to the first end of the second rail. Additionally, a method of using a router fence on a table is described. The router fence includes a first rail, a second rail pivotally attached to the first rail, and a tension element connecting the first and second rails. The method includes attaching the first rail to the table; moving the second rail; and stretching the tension element.

Abstract: A system includes a bracket and a connector. The bracket includes a first base and a first annulus. The first base includes a first attachment feature, and the first base is configured for attachment to a first surface. The first annulus is connected to the first base and includes a first plurality of interior ribs. The connector includes a trunk and a first ridge band. The trunk has first and second ports at opposite ends thereof. The first ridge band is disposed on the trunk and includes an annular ridge; a plurality of dentils extending from the annular ridge and toward one of the first and second ports; and a gap between adjacent dentils of the plurality of dentils, wherein the gap is configured to accept one of the first plurality of interior ribs of the bracket. A method of mounting a conduit on a surface is also described.
