Abstract
A feedthrough sleeve and integral support fitting comprises a hollow tubular sleeve and integral planar mounting collar. The sleeve lies in a plane transverse to the plane of the collar which is less than perpendicular thereto. The collar is configured to be engaged in a snap fit manner within an opening in a surface, such as a bulkhead of a truck, with the sleeve being mounted in a manner to allow an elongated member, such as a hose, wire or tubing, to be fed therethrough from one side of the bulkhead to the other, without requiring the need for splicing of or creating a joint in the elongated member to provide feedthrough thereof.
