ABSTRACT:
A cover having first and second halves is used in combination with clamps to cover elongated items such as wires and pipes. The first and second halves cooperate together to form a cavity that receives the elongated items and clamps. The halves may be formed with identical cross sections so that they may be fabricated from a single mold. The halves may snap together or be connected with a fastener. Each cover half includes a pair of opposed locking ledges that form slots sized to receive the opposed feet of the clamp. The clamps are installed by angling the clamps with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cover and pressing the clamp against the base wall of the cover. The clamp is then twisted to a position substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cover. The twisting motion simultaneously moves the feet of the clamp under the locking ledges of the clamp cover.
