Abstract
A support assembly for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a bracket comprising a base and an arm extending from the base. The arm includes a flange having a plurality of connectors configured to facilitate coupling to a clamp at each of a plurality of positions along the arm. The arm is configured to engage with and support a conduit of the HVAC system via the clamp.
Claims19
A support assembly for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a bracket comprising a base and an arm extending from the base, wherein the arm comprises:
- a base segment extending from an edge of the base;
- an upper flange;
- and
- a lower flange, each of the upper flange and the lower flange comprising a plurality of connectors configured to facilitate coupling to a clamp at each of a plurality of positions along the arm, wherein the arm is configured to engage with and support a conduit of the HVAC system via the clamp, and wherein the upper flange extends from a first edge of the base segment and the lower flange extends from a second edge, opposite the first edge, of the base segment.
A support assembly for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a mounting bracket configured to be secured to a housing of the HVAC system and configured to extend along and define a first axis of the support assembly in an assembled configuration of the support assembly;
- a support bracket configured to be secured to the mounting bracket and configured to define a second axis, crosswise to the first axis, of the support assembly in the assembled configuration of the support assembly, wherein the support bracket comprises an upper flange and a lower flange configured to extend along the second axis, and wherein the support bracket is configured to be adjustably positioned relative to the mounting bracket along the first axis of the support assembly;
- and
- a clamp configured to be secured to the upper flange or the lower flange of the support bracket, wherein the clamp is configured to be adjustably positioned relative to the support bracket along the second axis, and the clamp is configured to secure a conduit of the HVAC system to the support assembly.
A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a housing configured to direct an air flow therethrough;
- a conduit;
- and
- a support assembly mounted to the housing, wherein the support assembly comprises:
- a mounting bracket mounted to the housing;
- a cantilevered arm secured to the mounting bracket and extending away from the housing, the cantilevered arm comprising an upper flange and a lower flange;
- and
- a clamp secured to the upper flange or the lower flange of the cantilevered arm, wherein the clamp extends about the conduit and secures the conduit to the support assembly,
- wherein the cantilevered arm is configured to be secured to the mounting bracket at each first position of a plurality of first positions, and the clamp is configured to be secured to the upper flange or the lower flange of the cantilevered arm at each second position of a plurality of second positions.
