A method of mounting a conduit to a stud used in the construction of a building, said method including the steps of:

• locating a stud in said building which is an elongated structural object having a front, rear and side structural surface for the conduit to mounted to;
• providing a mounting arrangement including a clip portion having a longitudinally extending clip body extending between a first and a second end thereby defining a clip length, said clip further including a conduit receiving cavity extending about a cavity axis such that said cavity includes a conduit receiving slot parallel to said cavity axis, said mounting arrangement further including a strap joined to said clip, said strap including a base plate extending in a base plane direction between a first end and a second end, said clip being joined to said base plate, said clip further including a first leg extending from said first end and a second leg extending from said second end wherein said base plate and said first and second legs form generally a C-shaped strap, said first and second legs each including distal ends spaced from said base plate, respectively, which include inwardly extending barbs, said legs and said base plate engaging said stud and said barbs interengaging with said stud to maintain said mounting arrangement relative to said stud, said legs being configured to allow said mounting arrangement to be covered by a wall board;
• positioning said strap over said stud such that said inwardly extending barbs snap over said stud;
• providing a conduit having a central conduit axis and an outer layer extending about the conduit axis;
• securing said conduit in said conduit receiving cavity.
