An apparatus comprising: - a collar including a first aperture extending therethrough to receive a conduit, the aperture extending longitudinally between a first span wall and a second span wall of a body of the collar to receive the conduit; - a guide to receive the collar, the guide including a second aperture that defines an inner surface of the guide, the inner surface of the guide being larger than an outer surface of the collar to define a gap therebetween, - a third aperture of the guide, the third aperture surrounding an outer surface of the conduit to define a range of movement of the conduit, wherein the first and second span walls (120, 122) of the body of the collar are at least partially disposed in the guide, the body having a lateral wall that defines the outer surface of the collar facing the inner surface of the guide with a gap therebetween to enable relative movement of the collar to the guide with the collar placed within the guide, wherein the inner surface of the guide defines a lateral wall of an enclosure to surround the collar, wherein at least one of the first or second span walls (120, 122) at least partially defines a contact surface to enable the collar to slide along a sliding surface of the guide, wherein a) the apparatus further includes a surface finish applied to at least one of the sliding surface or the contact surface, or b) the apparatus further includes a wear pad to contact the contact surface; wherein the apparatus further comprises a mount, the guide being fixed to the mount which, in turn, is configured for being rigidly coupled to a stationary fixture, and wherein an inclined ramp of the mount provides additional resistance, dampening and/or sound reduction when the conduit is moved and/or changes in size. - a collar including a first aperture extending therethrough to receive a conduit, the aperture extending longitudinally between a first span wall and a second span wall of a body of the collar to receive the conduit; - a guide to receive the collar, the guide including a second aperture that defines an inner surface of the guide, the inner surface of the guide being larger than an outer surface of the collar to define a gap therebetween, - a third aperture of the guide, the third aperture surrounding an outer surface of the conduit to define a range of movement of the conduit, wherein the first and second span walls (120, 122) of the body of the collar are at least partially disposed in the guide, the body having a lateral wall that defines the outer surface of the collar facing the inner surface of the guide with a gap therebetween to enable relative movement of the collar to the guide with the collar placed within the guide, wherein the inner surface of the guide defines a lateral wall of an enclosure to surround the collar, wherein at least one of the first or second span walls (120, 122) at least partially defines a contact surface to enable the collar to slide along a sliding surface of the guide, wherein a) the apparatus further includes a surface finish applied to at least one of the sliding surface or the contact surface, or b) the apparatus further includes a wear pad to contact the contact surface; a) the apparatus further includes a surface finish applied to at least one of the sliding surface or the contact surface, or b) the apparatus further includes a wear pad to contact the contact surface; wherein the apparatus further comprises a mount, the guide being fixed to the mount which, in turn, is configured for being rigidly coupled to a stationary fixture, and wherein an inclined ramp of the mount provides additional resistance, dampening and/or sound reduction when the conduit is moved and/or changes in size.
