A ducting system for electrical wiring or the like including elongated channels and channel covers and prefabricated channel interface assemblies adapted for rapid non-defacing installation without resort to special tools or precision assembly techniques. The interface assemblies are comprised of alignment members which are adapted to engage two or more channels thereby to automatically position the channels in a predetermined relationship. More specifically, projections are provided on the alignment members which are received within recesses on the ends of the duct channels thereby functioning to properly and automatically orient the several duct channels upon system assembly. The interface assemblies further include removable cover means which bridge and conceal the respective ends of the channels and channel covers thereby eliminating precision cutting of the duct sections.

A duct for wires, cables, conduits or like objects including: elongated U-shaped channel means and elongated U-shaped channel cover means; the channel means having a substantially flat bottom; adhesive means along the bottom permitting the channel means to be rapidly secured to a surface without resort to screws, nails or other similar anchors requiring defacing penetration of the surface; a pair of generally parallel channel sidewalls extending generally perpendicularly from the bottom defining a cable carrying region therebetween; each channel sidewall having a pair of spaced ridges disposed into the cable carrying region, the ridges defining respective channel sidewall cable retention clip slots; a pair of spaced ridges along the bottom disposed into the cable carrying region, the ridges along the bottom defining a bottom cable retention clip slot; indentations along the outward facing surfaces of each channel sidewall to receive and retain the channel cover means; the U-shaped elongated channel cover means having a top; a pair of generally parallel cover sidewalls extending generally perpendicularly from the top defining a channel receiving region therebetween, a ridge on each cover sidewall disposed into the channel receiving region adapted to engage the indentations on the channel sidewalls to secure and retain the cover means in covering engagement with the channel means; indentations along the outward facing surfaces of each cover sidewall adapted to receive and retain second cover means.
