Abstract
Abstract A U-shaped electrical wiring duct with a base and generally parallel side walls is provided with grooves on the exterior of the side walls near the base. A clip, secured to a wall, comprises a bar portion, spaced tab members extending outwardly from the bar portion, and flanges extending one from each of said tab members respectively. The flanges are adapted to snap into the grooves on the wiring duct and thus grip the base of the duct. The tab members are each spaced from an end of the bar portion to define a projection at each end thereof.
