Abstract

A modular conduit securement system including a back bracket having, in transverse cross-section, a plurality of polygonal back surfaces porportioned for securement to at least one constructional surface, the bracket having a front surface including resilient nesting elements having a partially opened face geometry. The back bracket further includes, along each opposing inner transverse edge thereof, first complemental coupling elements. A conduit, proportioned for complemental coupling to the nesting elements of the back bracket, is provided. Further provided is an inner front plate proportioned, in transverse to cross-section, for complemental engagement with the first complemental coupling elements to thereby provide a modular conduit system formed by the insertion of the conduit into the nesting elements and by the coupling of the front plate over the first coupling elements of the back bracket. The system may also include second complemental coupling elements provided along opposite outer transverse edges of the back bracket, with an outer front plate proportioned for complemental engagement with the second complemental coupling elements to provide both a cover to the conduit …
