Conduit Hanger And Support Apparatus

The support assembly of claim 6, wherein the third inner diameter is equal to the second inner diameter.

The support assembly of claim 6, wherein at least one of the first inner diameter, the second inner diameter, and the third inner diameter is configured to be less than an outer diameter of the conduit.

The support assembly of claim 6, wherein the first section has a first length, the second section has a second length, and the third section has a third length that is equal to each of the first length and the second length.

A support assembly for supporting a conduit, the support assembly comprising:

• a first support having a partial-cylindrical shape configured to receive the conduit, the partial-cylindrical shape including a first section, a second section, and a third section, the first section having a first inner diameter, the second section having a second inner diameter that is greater than the first inner diameter, and the third section having a third inner diameter that is greater than the first inner diameter, wherein the first section is disposed between the second section and the third section;
• and
• a rigid second support configured to be inserted into either one of the second section and the third section.

The support assembly of claim 14, wherein the first section of the first support has a first length and the second section of the first support has a second length that is less than the first length.

The support assembly of claim 14, wherein the first section of the first support has an outer diameter that is less than or equal to the second inner diameter of the second section of the first support.

The support assembly of claim 14, wherein the partial-cylindrical shape of the first support extends through an angle that is greater than 180 degrees.

A support assembly for supporting a conduit, the support assembly comprising:

• a first support having a partial-cylindrical shape configured to receive the conduit, the partial-cylindrical shape including a first section and a second section, the first section having a first inner diameter and the second section having a second inner diameter that is greater than the first inner diameter;
• and
• a second support having a partial-cylindrical shape configured to receive the conduit, the partial-cylindrical shape including a first section and a second section, the first section having a first inner diameter and the second section having a second inner diameter that is greater than the first inner diameter wherein the first section of one of the first and second supports is configured to be inserted into the second section of the other one of the first and second supports.

A method for forming a support, the method comprising:

• forming a conduit-receiving shape, the conduit-receiving shape including a first section having a first diameter and a second section having a second diameter;
• and
• increasing the second diameter of the second section such that the second diameter is greater than the first diameter of the first section.
