Manifold system

A structure for supporting conduit having a generally curved outer surface, the structure comprising:

• a wall having a first end and a second end opposed to the first end and a generally U-shaped cross section, a continuous opening into the wall from the first end to the second end to receive the conduit, a first track and a second track adjacent to the first track;
• the first track having a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge opposed to the first lateral edge, and a first curved surface connecting the first lateral edge to the second lateral edge, a first hold-down extending inwardly from one of the first lateral edge or the second lateral edge a fraction of the diameter of the U-shaped cross section, a first release surface on an opposing portion of the first lateral edge or the second lateral edge, and a gap between the hold-down and the release surface;
• and,
• the second track comprising the second lateral edge and a third lateral edge opposed to the second lateral edge, and a second curved surface connecting the second lateral edge to the third lateral edge, a second hold-down extending inwardly from one of the second lateral edge or the third lateral edge and a second release surface extending from the second lateral edge or the third lateral edge.

• the second track comprising the second lateral edge and a third lateral edge opposed to the second lateral edge, and a second curved surface connecting the second lateral edge to the third lateral edge;
• a first conduit retention member between the first track and the second track on the first end comprising a hold-down extending inwardly over the first track a fraction of the diameter of the U-shaped cross section, a release surface facing the second track, and a gap between the hold-down and the release surface;
• and,
• a second conduit retention member between the first track and the second track on the second end comprising a hold-down extending inwardly over the second track and a release surface facing the first track.
