Abstract
A saddle for an insulating support bracket includes an arcuate central portion defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end, at least one vent formed through the arcuate central portion; a first flange portion bent radially inward from the arcuate central portion at the first end, a first fastener hole formed through the first flange portion, wherein the first fastener hole is accessible through the at least one vent; and a second flange portion bend radially inward from the arcuate central portion at the second end, a second fastener hole formed through the second flange portion, wherein the second fastener hole is accessible through the at least one vent.
Claims21
A saddle for an insulating support bracket comprising:
- an arcuate central portion defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end, at least one vent formed through the arcuate central portion;
- a first flange portion bent radially inward from the arcuate central portion at the first end, a first fastener hole formed through the first flange portion, wherein the first fastener hole is accessible through the at least one vent;
- and
- a second flange portion bend radially inward from the arcuate central portion at the second end, a second fastener hole formed through the second flange portion, wherein the second fastener hole is accessible through the at least one vent;
- wherein the at least one vent is elongated in a lateral direction between the first end and the second end of the arcuate central portion.
An insulating support bracket comprising:
- a plurality of saddles, each saddle comprising an arcuate central portion, a first flange portion extending radially inward from the arcuate central portion, and a second flange portion extending radially inward from the arcuate central portion;
- and
- a plurality of standoffs, each standoff being fastened to the first flange portion of a first adjacent one of the saddles and the second flange portion of a second adjacent one of the saddles;
- wherein an outer diameter of the insulating support bracket is defined by the arcuate central portions of the plurality of saddles and an inner diameter of the insulating support bracket is defined by the plurality of standoffs.
An insulating support bracket assembly comprising:
- an insulating support bracket comprising:
- a plurality of saddles, each saddle comprising an arcuate central portion;
- and
- a plurality of standoffs, each standoff being disposed between and fastened to an adjacent pair of the saddles;
- and
- a pipe received through the insulating support bracket and defining an outer surface, each of the standoffs abutting the outer surface of the pipe;
- wherein an arcuate gap is defined between each of the arcuate central portions and the outer surface of the pipe.
A saddle for an insulating support bracket comprising:
- an arcuate central portion defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end, at least one vent formed through the arcuate central portion;
- a first flange portion bent radially inward from the arcuate central portion at the first end, a first fastener hole formed through the first flange portion, wherein the first fastener hole is accessible through the at least one vent;
- and
- a second flange portion bend radially inward from the arcuate central portion at the second end, a second fastener hole formed through the second flange portion, wherein the second fastener hole is accessible through the at least one vent;
- wherein:
- the first flange portion defines a first flange end distal to the arcuate central portion;
- the second flange portion defines a second flange end distal to the arcuate central portion;
- the first fastener hole is located closer to the first flange end than to the arcuate central portion;
- and
- the second fastener hole is located closer to the second flange end than to the arcuate central portion.
