Abstract
A universal mounting system includes a mounting rail and plurality of heavy mounting blocks and clip-on mounting blocks to receive utility adaptors. The mounting rail comprises a flange and a bearing rail, an open centerline channel extending the length of the mounting rail, the bearing rail having a first bearing surface distal from the flange and opposed second and third bearing surfaces disposed laterally along the length of the bearing rail, wherein the base width is less than the exterior bearing surface width. The heavy mounting blocks are slidingly couplable over the bearing rail, including a mounting surface to mate to the utility adaptor and a receiving channel having cross section conforming to the bearing rail cross section; a clamping member with a friction clamping member to go against the threaded rod distal end and bearing rail. The system includes a centerline channel depth not greater than the flange depth.
