ABSTRACT:
A releasably anchorable bushing conduit apparatus for providing access through a wall having a generally accessible side and a generally inaccessible side and an opening extending through the wall from the generally accessible side to the generally inaccessible side comprises a bushing conduit having first and second opposite end portions with first and second coterminous openings therein. The bushing conduit is insertable into the opening such that the first end portion protrudes from the wall on the inaccessible side and the second end portion protrudes from the wall on the accessible side. A retaining device external to the first and second coterminous openings retains the bushing conduit in place, yet presents no obstruction to the first and second coterminous openings. The retaining device includes an expandable and collapsible member secured to the first end portion and capable of expanding to interfere with the inaccessible side to prevent the first end portion from being withdrawn from the opening from the accessible side. The expandable and collapsible member is also capable of being collapsed to prevent interference of the member with the inaccessible side to permit the first end portion to be withdrawn from the opening. A device is provided on the bushing conduit for squeezing the wall between the expandable member and the second end portion to hold the bushing conduit securely in the wall opening.
