A holding bracket for a line assembly in an aircraft fuselage, the holding bracket comprising:
- a receiving space;
- and
- a support portion, wherein the support portion comprises:
- a holding part at least partly surrounding the receiving space configured for receiving a line section of the assembly, and the holding part configured for holding the line section;
- and
- a support part configured for fixedly attaching the holding part to a support,
- wherein the holding part is attached to the support part via a movable attachment that is configured to provide a predetermined relative movement of the holding part in relation to the support part in an installed state of the line assembly.
A method for installing a first line section and at least one second line section in a fuselage of an aircraft, comprising:
- attaching a first line section having a first diameter to a structural part of the fuselage through first line brackets, which comprise a first receiving space for holding the first line section and a first support portion for attaching the first line brackets to the structural part;
- and
- attaching at least one second line section having a second diameter to the first line section through second line brackets, which comprise a second receiving space for holding the at least one second line section and a second support portion for attaching the second line brackets to the first line section,
- wherein at least one second line section comprises a higher flexibility than the first line section, and
