Partial float weave fabric

An innerduct for a cable containing one or more strip-shaped lengths of woven textile fabric configured to create a flexible, longitudinal compartment for enveloping a cable. The woven fabric comprises a plurality warp yarns and a plurality of picks of weft yarns and contains an alternating pattern containing first weave zones and partial float weave zones. The warp yarns in the first weave zone pass successively over and under each adjacent weft yarn and at least a portion of the warp yarns in the partial float zone float over some adjacent weft yarns.

CONDUIT STUB-UP ELIMINATOR ASSEMBLY
20200256482 · 2020-08-13 · ·

A conduit stub-up eliminator assembly as disclosed herein comprises an elbow including a first connector end for securing to a horizontal in-slab raceway, in use, and a second connector end having a threaded collar with an opening for selectively receiving a vertical above slab raceway, in use. A stub extends radially outward proximate the collar. A supporting device comprises an elongate rail having a plurality of spaced openings sized to receive the stub and having a length corresponding to the select thickness. A turned in base is for attachment to formwork prior to pouring of concrete to form the concrete slab. The pipe fitting stub is received in a select one of the rail openings so that the collar opening is spaced from the base a distance corresponding to the select thickness so that the collar opening is flush with the surface of the concrete slab.

A stub-up form for providing access to an in-slab connector has an opening with a threaded element of a select diameter corresponding to size of an elongate tubular element to be received therein. The form comprises a hollow unitary plastic body comprising an elongate tubular wall having a shoulder connected to a narrowed cylindrical neck closed at a distal end wall to define an interior space. The elongate tubular wall is of a diameter greater than the select diameter and the neck has a size to be removably received in the opening and is engageable by the threaded element. A receptacle extends from the distal end wall inwardly into the interior space for receiving a tool head for removal of the form from an in-slab connector, in use.
