<p>Taught herein is a manifold ( 10 ) for housing and outlet ( 24 ) and related conduit ( 19 ). The manifold ( 10 ) provides a means for gathering, storing and protecting excess conduit associated with the outlet and the conduit connected to the outlet ( 16 ). The manifold includes conduit apertures ( 15 ) to allow conduit to ingress and egress the manifold. The manifold may also include ventilation apertures ( 18 ) to allow airflow. The manifold may ( 10 ) be a clam-shell style housing, with hingedly attached top and bottom portions ( 12, 14 ). Additionally, the manifold may be made of a fire-resistant material and may include a locking device ( 22 ) to secure the manifold in a closed condition. The present invention also teaches the method of gathering, storing and protecting an outlet and related excess conduit within a ventilated manifold.</p> |
