A clamp for suspending a pipe from a strut, the clamp including an elongated flexible strap carrying pipe spacing protuberances on one side, and having tee subassemblies at opposite ends. Each of the tee subassemblies includes a cross-arm which defines a tool-receiving slot aligned with a neck portion of the respective tee subassembly. Each cross-arm carries channel engaging lugs at the opposite ends thereof. The clamp is used in combination with a strut channel having an open mouth and reverse turned edges at opposite sides of the open mouth.
