Abstract
The simulated pipeline construction gives the outward appearance of an actual plumbing pipeline but without the weight or expense. The pipeline is constructed using a pair of parallel mounting rails which hold one or more outwardly bowed flexible plastic panels. One-piece plastic corner members are used to simulate a pipeline extending around a corner of a building, and one-piece plastic end caps are used to simulate an actual plumbing end cap. The corner members and end caps are also inserted into the channels of the mounting rails.
