A support bracket for an upright tracer wire conduit proximate a pipeline riser with an above grade flange having bolt holes for receipt of mounting bolts. The bracket has a first hole sized to accommodate the mounting bolt shank diameter and a second hole spaced from the first hole and sized to accommodate a diameter of said upright tracer wire conduit. The bracket is thereby arranged for fastening to the above grade flange of the pipeline riser through alignment of the first hole of the bracket with one of the bolt holes of the above grade flange and fastening of the mounting bolt through said aligned holes in order to support the tracer wire conduit in an upright position extending through the second hole. A surface of the bracket facing away from the holes presents a label carrying area of the bracket for displaying identifying information concerning the pipeline or riser.
A support bracket for an upright tracer wire conduit projecting upward from ground proximate a pipeline riser with an above grade flange having bolt holes each dimensioned to a shank diameter of a mounting bolt, the bracket having a first through hole sized to accommodate said mounting bolt shank diameter and a second hole spaced from the first hole and sized to accommodate a diameter of said upright tracer wire conduit, whereby the bracket is arranged for fastening to the above grade flange of the pipeline riser through alignment of the first through hole of the bracket with one of the bolt holes of the above grade flange and fastening of the mounting bolt through said aligned holes in order to support the tracer wire conduit in an upright position extending through the second hole.
In a pipeline system having a pipeline riser with an above grade flange and an upright tracer wire conduit projecting upward from ground proximate said pipeline riser, a support bracket fastened to the above grade flange of the pipeline riser and bracing the tracer wire conduit in an upright position proximate the pipeline riser, the bracket comprising a first hole through which the bracket is bolted to the above grade flange of the pipeline riser and a second hole through which the tracer wire conduit extends.
