Support System for Conduit and Cables

A support clip for conduit, the support clip comprising:

• a bridge section that is concave toward a reference conduit axis, including an apex bend, a first bridge side extending radially inwardly from a first lateral side of the apex bend and a second bridge side extending radially inwardly from a second lateral side of the apex bend, relative to the reference conduit axis;
• a first lateral arm extending radially outwardly, relative to the reference conduit axis, from the first bridge side to a tapered, notched first outer profile;
• a second lateral arm extending radially outwardly, relative to the reference conduit axis, from the second bridge side to a tapered, notched second outer profile;
• one or more first spring arms extending radially inwardly, relative to the reference conduit axis, and in a first axial direction away from the bridge section;
• and
• one or more second spring arms extending radially inwardly, relative to the reference conduit axis, and in a second axial direction away from the bridge section;
• the first and second outer profiles being engageable with sides of an opening of a support member to secure the support clip against axial movement;
• and
• the one or more first spring arms and one or more second spring arms being resiliently engageable, at a range of conduit diameters, with a conduit extending through the opening along the reference conduit axis.

A method of supporting conduit relative to a support member that extends in a lateral direction, the method comprising:

• inserting a length of conduit in an axial direction into an opening in the support member, to extend along a conduit axis;
• and
• inserting a support clip for conduit into the opening, in the axial direction, so that:
• a bridge section of the support clip extends axially along the conduit, with a bridge inner profile facing radially inwardly relative to the conduit axis, and with first and second lateral arms extending radially outwardly from opposite lateral sides of the bridge section;
• indents of first and second outer profiles of the first and second lateral arms selectively engage first and second lateral sides of the opening to secure the support clip against axial movement relative to the support member;
• and
• spring arms that extend from opposite axial ends of the bridge section resiliently deflect relative to the bridge section to resiliently engage inner profiles of the spring arms with the conduit at a conduit diameter.
