ELECTRICAL SAFETY SYSTEM
An electrical safety system is provided that includes a conductive coupler, for coupling the electrical safety system to a conductive element and be cast into concrete or similar material with the conductive element; and a housing, coupled to the conductive coupler, configured to be at least partially cast into the concrete or similar material to provide external access to the conductive coupler and thereby the conductive element. A length of the housing is adjustable after being cast into the concrete or similar material to enable the housing to sit flush with a finished surface of or associated with the concrete.
Method of constructing hollow wall structure
A method of constructing a hollow wall structure comprising: a step (A) of constructing a grout wall mold; a step (B) of grouted a curable liquid material into the grouting space; a step (C) of removing the first template wall and the second template wall so as to produce a semi-finished hollow wall having the Styrofoam board; and a step (D) of removing a semi-finished hollow wall having the Styrofoam board so as to obtain a hollow wall having a communication space. The communication space has an inflow conduit and a connection channel.
Flanged conduit support with ganging mechanism
A flanged conduit support for forming openings in a poured concrete structure. The flanged conduit support includes a flange and a hub with a socket. A ganging means on the flanged conduit support enables the joining and locking of two or more supports together in a spaced relationship. The ganging means includes a male snap member with a tab and a tapered end and the female snap member includes a receiving slot. The flanged conduit support provides a means for rapidly securing a first end of conduit to a form and capping the opposite ends of the conduit to prevent the entry of concrete during the concrete pour. A removable cap may be removed after the concrete cures to provide one or more open pathways for running electrical cables through the horizontal floors or vertical walls.
Flanged conduit support with ganging mechanism
A flanged conduit support for running electrical cables between horizontal floors or vertical walls. The flanged conduit support includes a flange and a hub with a socket. A locking means on the flanged conduit support enables the locking together of two or more supports together in a spaced relationship. The locking means includes a male snap member with a tab and a tapered end and the female snap member includes a receiving slot. The flanged conduit support provides a means for rapidly securing a first end of conduit to a form and capping the opposite ends of the conduit to prevent the entry of concrete during the concrete pour. A removable flange portion may be removed after the concrete cures to provide one or more open pathways for running electrical cables through the horizontal floors or vertical walls.
Conduit End Support And Plug Apparatus
A conduit end support and plug apparatus for installing conduit in concrete includes a flange having a plurality of mounting apertures to receive fasteners to attach the apparatus to a concrete slab mold. A support body is coupled to the flange to receive a conduit pipe. A base plug has an outer base portion and a central raised plug portion. The central raised plug portion fits within the conduit pipe. A breakable attachment bridge is coupled to the base plug and the flange. The breakable attachment bridge is breakable to separate and remove the base plug from the flange once concrete has hardened in the concrete slab mold.
Edging Forms for Producing Self-Leveling Floors and Methods of Use
A method for forming a self-leveling floor includes: positioning an edging form on or adjacent to a subfloor so as to at least partially bound an area on which a self-leveling floor is to be formed, the edging form including: a body having a top face, a bottom face and a first side face that extends between the top face and the bottom face; and a plurality of spaced apart channels extending entirely through the body from the top face to the bottom face, each of the plurality of channels also passing through at least a portion of the first side face. A self-leveling flooring material is dispensed into the area in which the self-leveling floor is to be formed so that the self-leveling flooring material flows against the first side face of the body and into each of the plurality of channels.
BRACKET FOR POSITIONING AND PROTECTING PIPES IN CONCRETE
A bracket holds a rigid or flexible tube during the pouring of a concrete slab. The bracket has a base and a housing connected to the base. The tube curves around a first tube support on the housing before passing through an opening in the bottom of the housing. The tube and any members inside the tube are cut off so they end inside the housing and are then covered by a housing cap. The base is fastened to a form for the concrete slab. The height of the housing relative to the base is adjusted to place the cap at the planned surface of the concrete slab. After the concrete slab is formed the cap is removed and the cut members inside the housing are connected to other members or devices.
Cover assembly and methods
Systems and methods of installing a fixture into a material are provided. The fixture includes a body and a cover assembly that is removably coupled to the body and configured to move relative to the body once the body has been secured within the material. The cover assembly includes a movable component configured to aid removal of the cover assembly.
Cast in Place Device
A first firestop device and a second firestop device, each comprising a housing. The housing of the first firestop device has a connection side with a plurality of connection elements and the housing of the second firestop device has a complementary side with a complementary element. The connection elements are each arranged at a different location on the connection side of the housing of the first firestop device, so that a position of the first firestop device relative to the second firestop device, when the connection side of the housing of the first firestop device is interlocked with the complementary side of the housing of the second firestop device, is selectable by selecting which of the connection elements of the first firestop device is connected to the complementary element of the second firestop device.
BLOCKOUT ASSEMBLY FOR SUPPORTING CONDUITS THROUGH CONCRETE PANELS
A blockout apparatus, for use in creating passageways through prefabricated concrete structural members, has at least one hanger members integrally molded with the blockout apparatus as a dome projecting above the body of the blockout member that can be used to support conduits inserted through the passageway. A wedge nut can be inserted into the hanger members and twisted to lock the wedge nut in place. The wedge nut can be installed before the blockout apparatus is positioned within the concrete form for the manufacture of the prefabricated concrete structural member, or after the concrete structural member has been formed. Typical usage of the blockout apparatus is to create passageways through the T-Beam of Double-T panels so that conduits can pass through the void corresponding to the blockout apparatus. Mounting devices that support the conduits can be engaged with the wedge nut and provide support for one or multiple conduits.
