It is furnished ordinarily in lengths of 10 ft., and each length can be fastened or bonded toanother length by a bond. The method of applying the Ijond is exceedingly simple. Aslot is cut with an ordinary hack-saw in the bottom of the ductin. from the end, prongs of bond are inserted in slot, bondis snapped over the exterior flanges of the duct, prongs arebent down, and the joint is made. The elbows are made intwo forms, one the rigid 90-deg. style, the other an adjustableelbow, which can be bent to any oljtuse angle and yet maintaina perfect enclosed conduit with rounded corner to preventabrasion of the insulation of the wires. Outlet boxes are of the. OUTLET BOX knockout type, made for four or less outlets. The outlet bondsare fastened by a single screw in the center of the box, and byhaving ends bent in rounded shape do not require metal bush-ings. Other appliances, such as rosettes, receptacles, cornerangles, etc., are also furnished; in fact, everything to make thesystem complete in every detail. The first expense is much less than that of any conduit pipein the market, and, figuring the cost of labor, a very little morethan wood molding, besides decreasing the danger from fireto a minimum.
