Abstract
A flanged conduit support for forming openings in a poured concrete structure. The flanged conduit support includes a flange and a hub with a socket. A ganging means on the flanged conduit support enables the joining and locking of two or more supports together in a spaced relationship. The ganging means includes a male snap member with a tab and a tapered end and the female snap member includes a receiving slot. The flanged conduit support provides a means for rapidly securing a first end of conduit to a form and capping the opposite ends of the conduit to prevent the entry of concrete during the concrete pour. A removable cap may be removed after the concrete cures to provide one or more open pathways for running electrical cables through the horizontal floors or vertical walls.
