Hole protector device for mechanical, plumbing, and electrical (MPE) systems
A building is constructed by providing a subfloor and forming a hole in the subfloor. A hole protector includes a cylinder, a skirt disposed around the cylinder, and a cap disposed on the cylinder. The hole protector is disposed over the hole with the cylinder extending into the hole. The hole protector is fastened to the subfloor. The cap is removed from the hole protector. An MPE is disposed through the cylinder.
Cable gland comprising a slip on grommet
The invention relates to a cable gland with a grommet comprising a tubular base body made from an elastic material and extending in a direction of a cable gland axis from a first outer end to a second outer end. The tubular base body has at least one flow channel arranged between the first and the second outer end and extending in circumferential direction along an inner surface of the tubular base body. At least one filling hole extends from said flow channel radially outwards through the tubular base body to fill an inner space of the tubular base body with an adhesive. A first circumferential sealing lip arranged in the region of the first outer end and a second circumferential sealing lip arranged in the region of the second outer end to seal an inner space of the tubular base body when mounted on a cable with respect to the cable.
MOUNTING DEVICE FOR AN ELONGATE FLEXIBLE MEMBER
A mounting device (110) for an elongate flexible member extending through an aperture (102), comprising: an elongate body (130) having a longitudinal axis; an internal passageway passing through the elongate body (130) parallel to the longitudinal axis, for receipt of the elongate flexible member; a plurality of apertures (132) in the elongate body (130); an engagement member (136) in each apertures (132) and constrained to move along a displacement axis inclined to the longitudinal axis of the elongate body (130); a plurality of actuation members (142), each engaged with a respective engagement member (136), whereby displacement of the actuation member (142) in a first direction displaces the engagement members (136) outwardly to project beyond the periphery of the elongate body (130) and displacement of the actuations members (142) in a second, opposite direction displaces the engagement members (136) inwardly; and biasing means (182) biasing the actuation members (142) in the first direction.

ELBOW SCREW JOINT SYSTEM
An elbow screw joint system for screw-connecting and rerouting elongate shaped parts includes a guiding body, an insert and a cover. The insert has a guiding section rotatably arranged at least partially inside the guiding body. The guiding body has a guiding recess and an outlet recess. The guiding recess has a guiding axis and extends along the guiding axis from a receiving side to an opposite head side. The outlet recess has an outlet axis and extends from an outlet side, along the outlet axis, to the guiding recess. Also, the guiding axis and the outlet axis are at an angle relative to one another. The guiding section has a screw thread at an upper end region which is associated with the head side of the guiding body, and the cover is screw-connected, from the head side, to the screw thread of the guiding section.
Access panel with cleanout
An access panel with cleanout includes a planar member, a pipe, a fastener, a closing member, and a cover. The planar member has a bottom surface and a top surface, with an opening extending therethrough. The pipe is coupled to the opening of the planar member, with an opening of the pipe being spaced from a top surface of the planar member. The fastener is associated with the opening of the pipe. The closing member is for coupling with the fastener of the pipe to close the pipe. The cover is for covering the opening of the planar member.

Protection Assembly for an Elongate Member Deployed Underwater
An assembly (10) protects an elongate member (e.g., an electrical cable) extending through an opening in a support structure (e.g., a wind turbine leg (12) and passes through at least one bend protector, e.g., a bend stiffener (20a, 20b), and a retaining device (18). The retaining device (18) has a body configured to lock itself to the opening. The body carries an abutment (78) and locking members (84), which are movable between retracted and extended positions. A movable member (86) is carried by the body (82), moveable axially with respect to it, and attachable to a pulling line. As the assembly (10) is pulled into the opening by the pulling line, the abutment (78) engages the support structure and arrests inward movement. The movable member (86) is moved in the inward direction with respect to the body (82), and the locking members (84) move to their extended positions to lock the retaining device in place.

HYDRANT MOUNTING BRACKET
A mounting bracket for a hydrant that is fully concealed by the hydrant head. The mounting bracket is fastened to the structure and includes tabs which engage the hydrant head to tightly secure the hydrant to the structure. The hydrant head includes a structure engaging periphery such that the mounting screws are fully concealed and protected from the environment.
