An electrical fitting for installation of electrical systems in poured concrete, includes a relatively flat body of material having an opening for receiving an electrical conduit, a number of equally spaced legs projecting from a side of the body where the legs are adapted to face a form wall opposing another form wall onto which an electrical box is mounted flush, and a tip disposed on a top of each leg. The tip of each leg is adapted to grip the form wall and provides a sturdy and solid base that holds an electrical box and a conduit in position during the pouring of concrete. The length of each spaced leg is sufficient to allow concrete to flow between the body and the form wall.

I claim: 1. An electrical fitting for installation of electrical systems in poured concrete, comprising: a relatively flat body of material having a centrally located opening for receiving an electrical conduit, said relatively flat body having a front side adapted to face a form wall onto which an electrical box is mounted flush and a rear side adapted to face a second form wall opposing the form wall; a number of equally spaced legs projecting from the rear side of the relatively flat body wherein the relatively flat body is thinner than a length of each leg, the thickness of the relatively flat body being taken in the same direction as the legs project; and a tip centrally disposed on a top of each leg, the tip having a smaller diameter than that of each leg wherein, in use, the tip grips the second form wall and provides a sturdy and solid base that holds said electrical box and said conduit in position during the pouring of concrete wherein the length of each equally spaced leg is designed to allow concrete to flow between the rear side of the relatively flat body and the second form wall. 2. The electrical fitting according to claim 1, wherein the tip has a pyramidal base. 3. The electrical fitting according to claim 1, wherein the tip is frustoconical. 4. The electrical fitting according to claim 1, wherein each spaced leg has one of a circular cross-section, a triangular cross-section and a rectangular cross-section. 5. The electrical fitting according to claim 1, wherein the body, legs and tips are made of plastic. 6. The electrical fitting according to claim 5, wherein the plastic is PVC. 7. The electrical fitting according to claim 1, wherein the body, legs and tips are made of one-piece construction. 8. A system for the installation of electrical boxes in poured concrete structures, said system comprising: an electrical box with a cover plate, on its front, that receives an electrical device after a concrete structure is formed; a conduit having two ends one of which is attached to a back of the electrical box; and electrical fitting attached to the other end of the conduit, said electrical fitting comprising: a relatively flat body of material having a centrally located opening for receiving an electrical conduit, said relatively flat body having a front side adapted to face a form wall onto which an electrical box is mounted flush and a rear side adapted to face a second form wall opposing the form wall; a number of equally spaced legs projecting from the rear side of the relatively flat body wherein the relatively flat body is thinner than a length of each leg, the thickness of the relatively flat body being taken in the same direction as the legs project; and a tip centrally disposed on a top of each leg wherein, in use, the tip grips the second form wall and provides a sturdy and solid base that holds said electrical box and said conduit in position during the pouring of concrete wherein the length of each equally spaced leg is designed to allow concrete to flow between the rear side of the relatively flat body and the second form wall, and wherein the conduit is of a length so that combined measurements of the electrical box including the cover plate, conduit and electrical fitting approximately equals the width between the form walls of the concrete structure. 9. The system according to claim 8, further comprising at least one terminal adapter and locknut combination where the at least one terminal adapter and locknut combination securely attaches at least one of the electrical box and the electrical fitting to the conduit. 10. The system according to claim 8, wherein the conduit is made of plastic. 11. The system according to claim 8, wherein the tip of the electrical fitting has a pyramidal base. 12. The system according to claim 8, wherein the tip of the electrical fitting is frustoconical. 13. The system according to claim 8, wherein each spaced leg of the electrical fitting has one of a circular cross-section, a triangular cross-section and a rectangular cross-section. 14. The electrical fitting according to claim 8, wherein the body, legs and tips of the electrical fitting are made of plastic. 15. The system according to claim 14, wherein the plastic is PVC. 16. The system according to claim 8, wherein the body, legs and tips of the electrical fitting are made of one-piece construction.
