CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
A cable retaining apparatus includes a body defining at least one aperture for receiving a respective cable, a first insulator device arranged in the, or each, aperture for preventing electrical conduction from a cable to a surface of the body facing the cable, and a second insulator device for preventing electrical conduction from a cable to a surface of the body facing away from the cable.

HANGER FOR MOUNTING CABLES
A cable hanger includes: a generally flat base; and first and second opposed arms extending in a first direction from the base; wherein hooks are positioned on free ends of the arms; wherein each of the free ends of the arms has an arcuate cross-section; wherein the arms form a gap configured to receive and grasp a cable; and wherein the cable hanger is a unitary member formed of a polymeric material.
Stabilized h-plate
An end plate for an expansion valve of a refrigeration circuit. The end plate includes a pair of slots or apertures, each of the slots configured to receive a tube or hose therein. Further, a pair of apertures is formed in the end plate extending from a first surface to a second surface thereof, each of the apertures configured to receive a fastener therein. The first face of the end plate includes a pair of protuberances extending outwardly from the first face. The protuberances are formed adjacent and laterally outwardly from the pair of apertures. The protuberances act as spacers and abut a surface of a housing of the expansion valve and may create a gap between the housing and the end plate to ensure equal clamping loading and militate against damage to a seal element between the housing and the end plate due to misalignment.
Hangers and clamps for mounting cables
A cable hanger includes: first and second hanger members, the first hanger member having first securing features and the second hanger member having second securing features that engage the first securing features to secure the first and second hanger members in a mated condition; the first hanger member having a first side wall with a first cutout area and a second side wall with a second cutout area; the second hanger member having a third side wall with a third cutout area and a fourth side wall with a fourth cutout area; wherein in the mated condition the first, second, third and fourth cutout areas form a first cable cavity; and wherein a first cantilevered gripping member extends from the first side wall into the first cable cavity, and a second cantilevered gripping member extends from the third side wall into the first cable cavity.
Tube organizer assembly
An organizer assembly including a belt and a ribbon. The ribbon has a first clamp member, a second clamp member, and a first carrier portion. The first clamp member is configured to receive a conduit or a support to fix the conduit or the support relative to the ribbon. The belt includes an elongated body that is slidably received in the first carrier portion. The organizer assembly may include one or more adapters that are received in a respective clamp member of the ribbon and configured to receive a conduit or a support to fix the conduit or support relative to the ribbon.
Tube Management Assembly
The tube management assembly employs a track, one or more mounting clips that are slidably mounted in the track and clamps that are snap-fitted into the mounting clips. In one embodiment, the mounting clip has a pair of resilient walls with inwardly directed lips for engaging in arcuate grooves in the sides of the clamp. In another embodiment, the mounting clip has a base slidably mounted in the track and a mounting block extending from the base and including a recess for receiving a tube transversely of the track.
Modular support system for plumbing connections
The presently disclosed technology generally provides a modular support system for plumbing connections. In one example, the system includes a frame, a connector that fits entirely in front of a support stud, and an optional housing. The frame includes symmetrical sides, each including a rail assembly. The connector includes first opposed sidewalls, each having a pair of boxways that receive the rails on any side of a frame unit to form a sliding joint between the frame and connector. Second opposed sidewalls include flexible tabs that engage frame corner flanges to prevent rearward disengagement of the connector from the frame. The housing includes structure for connection with the frame. The housing can be rotated for connection with the frame to receive vertical or horizontal plumbing lines. Connectors can connect the frame units in vertical or horizontal relation, or on either side of a building stud, or to brackets.
Holder for cable conduits
A holder for cable conduits including a first holder half connected to a second holder half, wherein the holder halves form at least one opening for holding a cable conduit, wherein the holder halves are aligned to each other by two aligning protrusions of the first holder half arranged inside two aligning recesses of the second holder half and two aligning protrusions of the second holder half arranged inside two aligning recesses of the first holder half. The aligning protrusions of each holder half are arranged symmetric to a central axis of the holder orthogonal to a connection plane between the holder halves.
Serviceable stud-to-tie strap fastener
An example fastener includes a body and a clamp. The body includes a first resilient arm. The clamp is pivotably engaged with the body.
