A plumbing fastener having a retaining ring to encircle a continuous pipe is described. The plumbing fastener may have a fastener flush with the retaining ring. The plumbing fastener may have a joint with a male tab and a female slot configured to receive the male tab, including a T-joint, a joint with a tongue, or a joint with first angled walls and second angled walls. In the T-joint, a male tab includes a T-joint tab received by a female slot. In the joint with first angled walls and second angled walls, a male tab includes first angled walls configured to be received by a female slot with second angled walls. Fasteners may be an elastomer, a silicone, a rubber, a flexible plastic, or a flexible metal. Some rings may have an interior ring surface with a concave cross-section to adhere to a portion of the continuous pipe using suction.

Flush-mounted box for housing hydraulic components comprising a frontally open box body, which is configured to be housed and fixed in a cavity made in a wall, a slide, which is telescopically coupled to the body with the possibility of sliding in a direction perpendicular to the wall, a frame, which is fixed to the slide and is provided with at least one front closing element that can be fixed to the body, and a front closing plate, which can be housed in a compartment of the frame and is designed to cooperate with stop elements of the frame and to be magnetically connected to them; the position of the slide is adjustable so as to place the front closing plate flush with the wall.

A structural grid support system adapted for transferring seismic loads to the vertical structural supports of a modular structure. The system includes larger and longer high load capacity main runners with mechanically fastened cross tees, which transfer seismic forces without failing. The structural grid can provide a diaphragm using mechanically fastened connections in a single horizontal plane without requiring additional overhead support from the roof deck, or requiring fewer such supports. The main runners may include additional connecting elements disposed within the usable space beneath the runner (e.g., ventral threaded receivers) for attaching deployment-specific equipment or hardware, such as network cable trays.

A thermostat bracket assembly includes a bracket that has a first portion forming an angle with a second portion. The first portion can be mounted to a wall stud having the second portion oriented planar with a panel of sheetrock mounted to the wall stud. A pair of engagements is each integrated into the bracket and each of the engagements is aligned with an intersection between the wall stud and the panel of sheetrock. A thermostat wire is extended through a respective one of the engagements to inhibit the thermostat wire from being lost in the wall cavity.

A system for and a method of preventing a conduit, pipe, or other similar traversing piece of equipment, from falling through an opening, and for facilitating ready adjustment of the traversing piece of equipment during installation, maintenance, and/or repair services. A first embodiment may involve a single-component system or a multi-component system. A second embodiment may involve a multi-component system for and method of effectively increasing the diameter of a conduit or pipe to an amount greater than that of an opening, but in a way such that the conduit or pipe can be adjustably extended without need for disengaging the system or back-tracking/reversing the method. A third embodiment may involve an annular riser ring and method of use thereof, wherein the riser ring is configured to slide over a conduit or pipe and is held in place along the pipe or conduit by a tight but slidable friction fit.
