Trench drain channel clip support

A clip device for supporting and aligning two cooperating end portions of adjacent drain channel sections comprising:

• a. a first portion including:
• i. a substantially horizontal first web;
• and
• ii. two opposed upstanding support sections extending from opposite sides of the web, the support sections converging in substantially perpendicular planes, then diverging in substantially perpendicular planes, then converging in substantially perpendicular planes and then diverging in substantially perpendicular planes;
• b. a second portion including:
• i. a substantially horizontal second web;
• and
• ii. two opposed upstanding support sections extending from opposite sides of the web, the support sections proceeding equal distances from the web in substantially parallel planes, then diverging in substantially perpendicular planes, then converging in substantially perpendicular planes and then diverging in substantially perpendicular planes;
• c. a third portion including:
• i. a substantially horizontal third web connected to the first and second webs and having a central aperture;
• ii. two deformable tabs, each located on opposite sides of the third web, the tabs having at least two portions, a first of which is located over a second, each tab portion having an aperture which engages a support rod, wherein the first tab portion aperture is aligned with the second tab portion aperture relative to the support rod when the tab is deformed, wherein the tabs move along the rod when deformed and are locked in place with respect to the rod when not deformed;
• iii. two strengthening ribs extending within the third web.
