A pipe fastener for securing pipes along walls, ceilings or the like, having top and bottom members each having two generally broad, flat sides extending at approximately forty-five degree angles from a middle portion and a base portion, respectively. The four sides have a plurality of spaced, parallel slots with the slots in the top member being selectively engageable with the corresponding slots in the bottom member, thus forming an adjustable enclosure for receiving a pipe. A set screw is provided in the bottom member and disposed perpendicular to the pipe for securing the pipe within the fastener, thus providing both initial and final adjustability features. The pipe fasteners have been designed for use with common attachment devices, such as beam clamps or toggle bolts, and the fasteners can be connected in series for hanging or securing additional pipes along the same route.
A pipe fastener for hanging or otherwise supporting pipe installations, comprising a top member having sides extending outwardly and disposed at substantially right angles to one another, a bottom member having sides extending outwardly and disposed at substantially right angles to one another, said top and bottom members being interconnected and forming an enclosure for receiving a pipe, an adjustment means for changing the size of said enclosure including a plurality of spaced parallel slots disposed in said first and second mentioned sides and extending inwardly at substantially right angles from one edge of said sides, and a means for securing said pipe within said enclosure.
A pipe fastener for supporting pipes, conduits and the like, comprising a top member having two first sides, said first sides extending outwardly at substantially right angles to one another, a bottom member having two second sides, said second sides extending outwardly at substantially right angles to one another, said top and bottom members being interconnected and forming an enclosure for receiving a pipe, each of said first and second mentioned sides being plate-like and having a plurality of spaced parallel slots extending inwardly from facing edges of said first and second mentioned sides to the approximate midpoint thereof, and a means for securing the pipe against the inner surface of said sides of said fastener.
