Thermostat bracket assembly
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.
Electrical Infrastructure Installation Bracket
A bracket that can be used to run electrical wires, mostly low voltage, during construction when devices or finished structures are not yet installed. The bracket can be mounted to in-wall, in-ceiling and other structures to provide a finished location to terminate caballing before finishes are installed. Cable can be temporarily affixed to the bracket to prevent unwanted movement and plugged during trim-out if not needed.

Plumbing service box installation
A plumbing service box assembly is described. The assembly includes a box with a positioning-debris cover configured to be received through an open face of the box and that includes a receiver that engages the plumbing fitting. Engagement with the receiver retains the plumbing fitting orientation and position during installation in a structure. The positioning-debris cover may be retained for aesthetic appearance and/or to resist actuation of the fitting. A trim-piece provides a finished appearance to the installation and retains the positioning-debris cover in position. Top and bottom walls of the box include interchangeable adaptor plates that adapt to various plumbing conduit sizes as well as drain outlets or couplings. A secondary debris cover that encloses the positioning-debris cover within the box and further protects against entry of debris is also provided.
Magnetically positioned and engaged dryer vent attachment and method
A magnetically positioned dryer vent coupling is adapted for use in combination with a clothes dryer. The dryer vent coupling includes a flexible exhaust duct, a first mounting substrate, and a second mounting substrate. The first mounting substrate is located at one end of the flexible exhaust duct and includes a first magnet. The second mounting substrate is adapted for residing proximate one of the dryer exhaust port and wall port, and includes a second magnet. When moved into close proximity, the first and second magnets magnetically attract to one another to self-align and self-assemble the first and second mounting substrates of the dryer vent coupling, such that the first and second mounting substrates create an audible snapping sound when engaged thereby indicating a close magnetic seal at the dryer vent coupling.
Adjustable escutcheon assembly
An adjustable escutcheon assembly is provided which can be installed flush against a ceiling, wall, or other surface where a supply pipe exits the ceiling, wall, or surface at various angles. The assembly includes a fitting having a curved bearing surface and an aperture for receiving the supply pipe, a retainer which bears against and is adjustable with respect to the curved bearing surface of the fitting, and an escutcheon plate mountable to the retainer. During installation, the retainer and escutcheon plate can be rotated with respect to the pipe and fitting in order to allow flush installation of the retainer and escutcheon against the ceiling, wall, or surface at a variety of angles.

WALL PORTAL AND CONDUIT ASSEMBLY
A conduit assembly comprising an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, the inner sleeve and outer sleeve being proportioned to form a concentric engagement with one another defining a longitudinal inner conduit, each of the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve having a flange end, the flange end surrounding a conduit port, wherein each of the flange ends have an inner side defining an axial shoulder and an outer side including a radially inner chamfered edge surrounding a periphery of the conduit port and a radially outer chamfered edge surrounding a periphery of the flange end.

Protection device, assembly and method
A protection device for preventing damage to an elongate flexible member passing through an aperture including a body portion adapted to be inserted into the aperture in a first direction and having an internal passageway for allowing movement of an elongate flexible member therethrough, and at least one latching element pivotally mounted on the body portion. The protection device can be used for protecting an elongate flexible member passing through an aperture in a support pillar of an offshore turbine generator. A method of removing the protection device from an aperture is also disclosed.
