A baseboard molding for mounting along a bottom of a wall surface for running conduit along the wall surface behind the baseboard molding, said baseboard molding comprising:
- a top piece having top and bottom faces and front and back faces extending between said top and bottom faces of said top piece;
- said front and back faces of said top piece being extended generally parallel to one another, said bottom face of said top piece being extended generally perpendicular to said front and back faces;
- said bottom face of said top piece having a downwardly extending longitudinal tongue ridge therealong adjacent said front face of said top piece, said tongue ridge of said top piece being generally parallel and flush with said front face of said top piece;
- a bottom piece having a top, a bottom, front and back faces extending between said top and bottom of said bottom piece, and upper and lower portions;
- said top of said bottom piece having a spaced apart and generally parallel front and back extents upwardly extending therefrom, said front and back extents being extended generally parallel to said front face of said bottom piece;
- said front and back extents of said bottom piece each terminating at an upper edge each lying in generally parallel planes with one another;
- said front and back extents of said bottom piece each having a height defined between said top of said bottom piece and said upper edge of the respective extent of said bottom piece;
- said height of said front extent of said bottom piece being greater than said height of said back extent of said bottom piece;
- said front and back extents of said bottom piece defining a longitudinal groove therebetween;
- said tongue ridge of said top piece being inserted into said longitudinal groove of said bottom piece;
- said front face of said top piece abutting said front extent of said bottom piece, said bottom face of said top piece abutting said upper edge of said back extent of said bottom piece;
- said upper and lower portions each having a width defined between said front and back faces of said bottom piece, said width of said lower portion of said bottom piece being greater than said width of said upper portion of said bottom piece;
- said front and back extents of said bottom piece having a width defined between said front and back faces of said bottom piece, said width of said front and back extents being less than said width of said lower portion of said bottom piece and greater than said width of said upper portion of said bottom piece;
- an upper width being defined between said front extent of said bottom piece and said back face of said top piece, said upper width being about equal to said width of said lower portion of said bottom piece such that said back face of said top piece and a portion of said back face of said bottom piece located in said lower portion of said bottom piece lie in a generally common plane;
- said upper and lower portions of said bottom face forming a lower shoulder therebetween on said back face of said bottom piece;
- said lower shoulder of said bottom piece and said bottom face of said top piece defining a rear conduit channel therebetween extending along said back face of said bottom piece, said lower shoulder of said bottom piece and said bottom face of said top piece lying in substantially parallel planes with one another;
- said rear conduit channel being adapted for receiving therein conduit to permit running of said conduit therealong;
- said lower portion of said bottom piece having a plurality of spaced apart access channels in said back face of said bottom piece and extending between said rear conduit channel and said bottom of said bottom piece to provide passages into said rear channel from said bottom of said bottom piece;
- and
- said access channels each having a depth defined from said back face of said lower portion of said bottom piece to said back face of said upper portion of said bottom piece such that said rear conduit channel and said access channels each have vertical wall portions lying in a common vertical plane with one another.
