ABSTRACT:
A device for aligning conduit. The device is positioned within a corrugated deck layer configured under a roof structure wherein the device comprises a box having a top, a front, a back and opposing sidewalls. The top includes bevel portions downwardly extending from the top to the sidewalls while the sidewalls vertically extend from the bevel portions to be positioned perpendicular with the top. The bevel portions are sized and shaped to nest within the corrugated deck layer. A pair of flanges is disposed in a common plane relative to one another and at right angles to the sidewalls below the bevel portions to extend outwardly from the bevel portions and the sidewalls wherein the flanges are sized and shaped to fasten the box to the corrugated deck layer. The invention further comprises a method of installing conduit free of offsets into the box.
