Multi-sectional conduit and a method of repairing existing conduits using said multi-sectional conduit

Abstract

A length of conduit for encasing at least one electrical wire or cable, comprising two or more longitudinal conduit sections. Each longitudinal conduit section has two longitudinal edges formed with interlocking edge profiles shaped to engage with a snap fit with opposing longitudinal edge profiles of one or more other longitudinal conduit sections to form the conduit. Each conduit section also has one or more tabs or slots along the longitudinal edges to mate with tabs or slots on the other longitudinal conduit sections when brought together, to thereby substantially prevent relative longitudinal movement of the conduit sections. A longitudinal conduit section for use in forming the length of conduit is also described, which can be cut into two or more longitudinal conduit sub-sections and the sub-sections can be engaged to one another with a snap fit along the interlocking edge profiles to form a conduit. A damaged conduit repair kit, comprising two or more longitudinal conduit sections and two or more collar sections. A method of repairing a damaged conduit, is also described.
