Abstract:

An elongated extruded plastic conduit is provided. The conduit includes a first portion defining a first bore extending through and between first and second opposite ends thereof. The bore extends along a first axis, and the first portion has an outer surface. A second portion extends coextensively and is defined as a one-piece construction with the first portion. The second portion projects outwardly from the outer surface of the first portion and defines a space between itself and the outer surface of the first portion. The space is adapted to receive and retain an associated elongated cable member. The second portion includes a proximal end connected to the outer surface of the first portion and a distal end spaced from the proximal end. The distal end is connected to the outer surface of the first portion by a frangible zone of material. A conduit and cable construction is also provided and includes an extruded plastic conduit that defines a bore therethrough and an outer surface. At least one electrical cable is positioned adjacent and extends along the outer surface of the conduit. A extruded plastic sheath encompasses both the extruded plastic conduit and the cable or cables.
