Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a pipe holding clip that defines a widthwise direction, a heightwise direction, and a lengthwise direction. The pipe holding clip can include a base portion, a pair of oppositely-arranged lateral portions extending upward from the base portion, a pair of holding arms extending inward from the pair of lateral portions and extending toward the base portion, and a support portion. Two sides of the support portion can be connected to the base portion or the pair of lateral portions. The support portion can include a working surface having an arc shape recessed toward the base portion. The pipe holding clip can provide a suitable holding force to limit the movement of a clamped pipe in an axial direction of the pipe.
