Claim Text:
1. A building tubing support comprising: a first removable layer having a first thickness, a first length, and a substantially flat first removable face lying in a first face plane and oriented in a first direction; a second removable layer having a second thickness, a second length, and a substantially flat second removable face lying in a second face plane and oriented in a second direction, the second length being the same as the first length, the second face plane being parallel and spaced apart from the first face plane, the second direction being oppositely oriented relative to the first direction; a permanent layer having a third thickness, a third length in at least a third direction, a fourth length in at least fourth direction, and opposing substantially flat first and second permanent faces lying in respective third and fourth face planes, said third length being greater than both the first and the second lengths, said fourth length being less than the third length, said fourth direction being perpendicular to said third direction, said third and fourth face planes being parallel and spaced apart relative to one another and the first and second planes, the permanent layer being positioned intermediate said first and second removable layers; and at least two opposing side surfaces, each of said at least two opposing side surfaces having a first portion defined by the first thickness of the first removable layer, a second portion defined by the second thickness of the second removable layer, and a third portion defined by the third thickness of the permanent layer, said third portion being positioned intermediate said first and second portions, wherein: the first, second, and third thicknesses of the removable and permanent layers collectively define a height of the tubing support, the height of the tubing support being substantially equivalent to a height of at least two faces of a divider between which the tubing support is positioned; said first and second portions of each of said at least two opposing side surfaces are oriented in respective side surface planes, each of said side surface planes being perpendicular to said first, second, third, and fourth face planes; and said third portion of each of said at least two opposing side surfaces is oriented in a respective lateral projection plane, said lateral projection plane being perpendicular to said first, second, third, and fourth face planes, said lateral projection plane being further spaced apart from and parallel to said side surface plane of said first and second portions of each of said at least two opposing side surfaces, such that said third portion of a first of said at least two opposing side surfaces defines a first lateral projection of said tubing support extending outwardly and perpendicularly from said first and said second portions of said first of said at least two opposing side surface, and such that said third portion of a second of said at least two opposing side surfaces defines a second lateral projection of said tubing support extending outwardly and perpendicularly from said first and second portions of said second of said at least two opposing side surfaces, wherein at least one discontinuity is provided between said first and said second lateral projections due to said fourth length of said permanent layer being less than said third length in at least said fourth direction.
