Claims9
A moveable, freestanding pipe support suitable for use in arctic climates comprising:
- a. a concrete base having a flat bottom area such that said base will be stable on a generally flat surface;
- b. a metallic support secured to said base for providing a metallic rest for said pipe and for preventing excessive lateral movement of said pipe;
- and
- c. an insulator attached to the bottom of said concrete base to provide thermal insulation between said concrete base and said generally flat surface.
