Abstract: A conduit transition coupling facilitates connection of tubing with a conduit section through which associated electrical wiring and/or cables are routed. The assembly method includes providing a conduit transition coupling, which is joined to the conduit section which is positioned in an associated concrete slab or the like. The conduit coupling assembly thus particularly facilitates routing of wiring from a conduit section positioned within a concrete slab or like flooring element, through the conduit transition coupling, and associated conduit or tubing.

Abstract: A conduit coupling assembly facilitates connection of liquid-tight tubing with a conduit section through which associated electrical wiring and/or cables are routed. The assembly includes a transition coupling, which is joined to male and female, liquid-tight connectors. The coupling assembly is joined to the conduit and projects above an associated concrete slab or the like to position the liquid-tight connectors for efficiently joining associated liquid-tight tubing to the conduit. The conduit coupling assembly thus particularly facilitates routing of wiring from a conduit section positioned within a concrete slab or like flooring element, through the transition coupling, and the liquid-tight connectors.

Abstract: A bell end adapter arrangement facilitates assembly of conduit sections through which associated electrical wiring and/or cables are routed. The arrangement includes a bell end adapter assembly having an outer bell end adapter, and an inner sleeve portion fixed within the outer adapter. The adapter assembly particularly facilitates routing of wiring from a conduit section positioned within a concrete slab or like flooring element, with the adapter assembly configured to be inserted into the slab and joined to the conduit section disposed within the slab. The adapter assembly has a outwardly flared, bell-shaped open mouth which is configured to receive a second conduit section through which wiring form the first conduit section is routed.

Abstract: A fixture mounting assembly facilitates efficient and convenient mounting of lighting fixtures and like elements on various types of ceiling mounting components. In one embodiment, the mounting assembly in configured to readily adjustable in length, with the adjustable nature of the assembly facilitating versatile use by permitting convenient adjustment of the assembly to accommodate different, typically standardized spacing of the mounting components. In this embodiment, the assembly includes first and second, inner and outer channel members arranged in sliding, telescopic relationship. The channel members define and arrangement of openings and slots to facilitate fitment to different types of ceiling mounting components. The telescoping nature of the channel members facilitate their fitment to associated ceiling mounting components which may have different, standardized spacing. Efficient and versatile use desirably offers significant savings in time and installation costs for fixture installation.

Abstract: An apparatus for conduit to box unitary support bracket uses a plate. An electrical conduit box has end knockout openings on sides thereof, each end knockout opening having an elevation and size and location. The plate is disposed substantially perpendicular to said end knockout openings and comprising opposing rows of thin, selectively bendable fingers bent towards the knockout openings to support at least one wire carrier in alignment with an elevation and size and location of corresponding end knockout openings. A method of assembling bends tabs on the plate 90 degrees, installs a connector in an end knockout on a side of the box, bends in a direction toward the electrical conduit box opposing rows of a plurality thin metal fingers on the tab, secures the box to the plate, and feeds a wire carrier through the tabs, resting on the metal fingers bent and feeds the wire carrier into the connector.

Abstract: A system for mounting one or more electrical boxes between associated support studs which includes a unitary mounting bracket configured to extend between the associated support studs. The mounting bracket defines one or more box openings for receiving at least one electrical box in operative association therewith, with the system including a faceplate positionable in respective association with each of the electrical boxes, such that the mounting bracket is sandwiched generally between each electrical box and its respective faceplate. Embodiments of the present invention include mounting brackets configured for relatively fixed position of the electrical boxes, as well as an embodiment which facilitates adjustable positioning of the electrical boxes along the length of the unitary mounting bracket of the system.

Abstract: A trapeze conduit support system includes a support bracket, and a moveable retention member, which are configured to be suspended from and carried by a pair of vertically extending support members, such as for mounting of conduits at or near a ceiling, beam, or like supporting structure of an installation. The retention member is moveable between a first, open position, wherein the conduits can be “laid in” to the support bracket, and a second, closed position wherein the retention member retains the conduits in position within the support bracket. Convenient and efficient installation of conduits is thus facilitated.

Abstract: A reusable anchor bolt template facilitates positioning of anchor bolts in anchoring material such as concrete, for subsequent mounting of a vertical structure, such as a light pole or the like. The anchor bolt template comprises a template body which defines a plurality of bolt-receiving channels within which the anchor bolts are respectfully positioned. By this arrangement, the template and anchor bolt can be positioned, as an assembly or unit, on an associated cylindrical tube or like structure which contains and confines the associated anchoring material. The template can be configured to permit the introduction of the anchoring material generally to the template, with the template thereafter being removable, and reused, if desired.

Abstract: A template assembly is configured to facilitate efficient installation of a plurality of conduits in generally parallel relationship with each other. The assembly includes at least one template member having a generally planar configuration, with a plurality of conduit-receiving openings defined therein. A template support can be provided which is configured to receive the template member in a generally vertical orientation. It is contemplated that a plurality of the template assemblies, including a plurality of the template members and template supports, are arranged and spaced apart relationship along a plurality of generally parallel conduits, so that that conduits, and template assemblies can be positioned, as an integrated unit, thus facilitating efficient installation and positioning of the conduits. Another aspect of the present invention contemplates that at least one stabilizing element is inserted through one or more of the template members, and into the surrounding region.
