A conduit clamp for mounting a conduit on a strut channel having a first side defining an open channel and a second side defining a groove, the conduit clamp comprising:
- first and second jaws configured to be coupled to one another by a suitable fastener, each of the first and second jaws comprising:
- a conduit engaging portion having opposite first and second longitudinal ends and configured to at least partially surround the conduit on the strut channel;
- a first coupling component at the first longitudinal end of the conduit engaging portion configured to attach to the strut channel within the open channel of the strut channel, the first coupling component defining a first fastener opening sized and shaped to receive the suitable fastener, wherein the first coupling component includes a J-hook fitting;
- and
- a second coupling component, different from the first coupling component, at the second longitudinal end of the conduit engaging portion configured to attach to the strut channel within the groove of the strut channel, the second coupling component defining a second fastener opening sized and shaped to receive the suitable fastener, wherein the second coupling component includes a dovetail-shaped fitting.
A jaw for a conduit clamp for mounting a conduit on a strut channel having a first side defining an open channel and a second side defining a groove, the jaw comprising:
- a conduit engaging portion having opposite first and second longitudinal ends and configured to at least partially surround the conduit on the strut channel;
- a first coupling component at the first longitudinal end of the conduit engaging portion configured to attach to the strut channel within the open channel of the strut channel, the first coupling component defining a first fastener opening sized and shaped to receive a suitable fastener for attaching the jaw to a second jaw, wherein the first coupling component includes a J-hook fitting;
- and
- a second coupling component, different from the first coupling component, at the second longitudinal end of the conduit engaging portion configured to attach to the strut channel within the groove of the strut channel, the second coupling component defining a second fastener opening sized and shaped to receive the suitable fastener for attaching the jaw to the second jaw, wherein the second coupling component includes a dovetail-shaped fitting.
