Claims18
A brace pipe attachment mechanism comprising:
- a hook member comprising a hook and defining a first fastener hole, and further comprising a hook support plate defining a top surface;
- a base member comprising a base support plate that confronts the top surface of the hook support plate and defining a second fastener hole aligned with the first fastener hole, wherein the hook member is rotatable relative to the base member between a first position and a second position, the first fastener hole being defined through the hook support plate and the hook extends upward from the hook support plate;
- and
- a fastener extending through the first fastener hole and the second fastener hole and configured to engage a brace pipe, wherein the hook member is rotatable about the fastener.
A brace pipe attachment assembly comprising:
- a pipe hanger configured to cradle piping thereon, the pipe hanger defining a hanger mount, the hanger mount defining a mount fastener hole;
- a brace pipe attachment device comprising a hook member, wherein the hook member comprises a hook, a hook support plate, and a base member comprising a base support plate, the brace pipe attachment device defining a first fastener hole aligned with the mount fastener hole, wherein the hook member is rotatable relative to the hanger mount between a first position and a second position, wherein the first fastener hole is defined through the hook support plate and the hook extends upward from the hook support plate and away from the hanger mount, and wherein the hook support plate is disposed between the base support plate and the hanger mount;
- and
- a fastener extending through the first fastener hole, through a second fastener hole formed in the base support plate, and through the mount fastener hole, and configured to engage a brace pipe, wherein the hook member is rotatable about the fastener.
