    Abstract: A reducing fibre optic cable tube connector with a plastic body having a connector at either end for connection to a respective tube. The body has a wide portion terminating at a wide end and a narrow portion terminating at a narrow end to receive tubes of a different diameters. The two portions meet at a central region of the body. Each portion includes an annular inner sleeve extending from the central region and spaced from an inner wall of the outer body to define an air gap. At the central region the annular sleeves extend toward one another so the first and second air gaps are axially spaced by less than 1 mm.

    Abstract: An outlet box assembly includes a base and a connection assembly. The base defines a base through-hole. The connection assembly is configured to attach to the base through the base through-hole and includes a connector and an adapter. The connector includes a connector body. The connector body includes an inner surface that defines a passage with one or more internal threads positioned along the inner surface. The adapter includes one or more external threads configured to engage with the one or internal threads of the connector body. The adapter defines a longitudinally-extending adapter through-hole configured to receive one of a fitting or a tubing. The adapter further defines at least one longitudinal slot configured to allow the adapter to radially compress when the adapter is attached to the connector.

    Abstract: A water system that includes a prefabricated fitting tee for use with a water heater. The prefabricated fitting tee includes a fitting tee body that has a first, second, and third port. The first and third ports are aligned along a main axis and the second port is aligned along an axis angled relative to the main axis. The fitting tee body defines an interior passageway that is in fluid communication with the first, second, and third ports. One of the first and second ports connects to a water inlet conduit for supplying water from an external source, the other one of the first and second ports connects to a pressure relief or pressure absorption mechanism. A swivel nut is rotatably mounted at the third port of the prefabricated fitting tee to provide an interconnection to the water heater.

    Abstract: A concrete floor has a pipe passing through a hole in the floor. A drop-in fire stop assembly has a clam-shell configuration having first and second portions of a fire ring, split cage, split retainer ring, split intumescent ring, split inner smoke ring and split outer smoke ring each fastened together to rotate about a hinge on the split cage to open and close. The first and second portions have free ends that spread apart to fit around the tube in an open position, and close around the tube in a closed position. A latch on the free ends of the cage hold the two portions together in the closed position.

    Abstract: A cap for a tubular sleeve having a cylindrical wall extending along a longitudinal axis for forming a passage through a concrete structure. The sleeve has radially extending ridges separated into segments with a channel parallel to the longitudinal axis. The channel has a circumferential width W. The ridges spaced apart a distance Z along the longitudinal axis. The sleeve having an inner diameter D. The cap has a cap element and a positioning tab. The cap element has a circular outer periphery with a flat top surface and a flange having a bottom end, and the tab extends inwardly from the bottom end and has a bottom surface that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The tab has an inner surface that is inclined at an acute angle to the bottom surface. The tab has a width smaller than W and an axial length smaller than Z.

    Abstract: The present application relates to connectors with an indicator feature for providing visibility within a connector body. The connectors include a connector body made of either a transparent or opaque material to provide visibility inside the connector body. The connector body defines a zone of indication that provides visual indication of two positions of the conduit. A first position of the conduit includes a position wherein the conduit is inserted beyond a seal portion of the connector but not fully inserted to a predetermined depth. And, a second position of the conduit includes a position wherein the conduit is sealed and fully inserted within the connector body to the predetermined depth (e.g., the predetermined depth includes a depth where an end of the conduit engages a conduit stop of the connector body).
