Abstract
Abstract An elongated base plate is mounted on a wall. Support means forwardly of the base plate support electrical conductors and pipes in a suspended manner along the base plate. A first cover plate forms a first compartment which houses the conductors and pipes, the latter being readily accessible by moving the first cover plate. A second cover plate forms, with the first cover plate, a second compartment which houses utility output devices which are connected to the conductors and pipes and which are readily accessible by moving the second cover plate.
