Abstract
A pipe support block for an aircraft fluid system is disclosed in which the pipe support block is arranged to support a pipe on a structural member, such as a bracket. The pipe support has a first part and a second part which together form a collar. The collar has a pipe receiving bore and is configured to support a fluid pipe on the structural member. First and second fastener holes extend through both the first part and the second part. The first and second fastener holes are each arranged to receive a fastener to fasten the first and second parts to each other and to the structural member.

A pipe support for an aircraft fluid system, the pipe support comprising:
- a first part and a second part which together form a collar with a pipe receiving bore configured to support a fluid pipe on a structural member;
- a first fastener hole extending through both the first part and the second part;
- and
- a second fastener hole extending through both the first part and the second part,
- wherein the first and second fastener holes are each arranged to receive a fastener to fasten the first and second parts to each other and to the structural member.
A pipe mounting assembly for an aircraft fluid system comprising:
- a pipe support configured to support a pipe on a structural member, the pipe support having a first part and a second part which together form a collar around the pipe;
- a first fastener configured to extend through both the first part and second part to fasten the first and second parts to each other and to the structural member;
- and
- a second fastener configured to extend through both the first part and second part to fasten the first and second parts to each other and to the structural member.
A pipe assembly for an aircraft fluid system comprising:
- an aircraft structural member;
- a fluid pipe extending through an opening in the aircraft structural member;
- a pipe support collar supporting the fluid pipe;
- and
- a first fastener and a second fastener fastening the collar to the aircraft structural member;
- wherein the pipe support collar includes a first part and a second part which together encircle the fluid pipe;
- and
- wherein the first fastener and the second fastener each extend through both the first part and the second part to fasten the first and second parts to each other.
A method of supporting a pipe on a structural member of an aircraft, the method comprising:
- disposing a pipe through an opening in the structural member;
- locating first and second parts of a pipe support together on the pipe to form a collar;
- inserting a first fastener through both the first and second parts of the pipe support and fastening the first fastener with the structural member;
- and
- inserting a second fastener through both the first and second parts of the pipe support and fastening the second fastener with the structural member.
