Abstract
A furnace has its interior walls covered with tubes which carry fluids being heated has supports for the tubes extended from the furnace shell. The supports are attached to the inside of the shell and extend beyond the refractory lining the shell.

Claims4
A support structure for furnace tubes in a furnace space, including,
- a base member attached to the interior wall of the furnace space and extending its mass normal to the wall surface,
- a pair of holes extended through the base member in a direction parallel the surface of the wall,
- grooves in the body of the base and extending from each of the pair of holes normal the surface of the wall,
- and a strap member arranged with its ends engaged in the holes and extending along the grooves in the body of the base to provide lateral support to the strap member and about a furnace tube to capture the tube on the base and substantially shield the surface of the base from the heat of radiation of the combustion of the furnace.
