Abstract
A universal pipe bracket includes, at one end, an integral mounting flange portion with a pair of through bores positioned to receive mounting screws for attachment of the pipe bracket to a vertical surface, such as a wall stud. A four sided elongate bracket portion is attached to and extends outward from the flange portion and is designed to accommodate clamps which support, or are used for supporting the bracket by, pipes running both vertically and horizontally. The bracket can also be used in a trapeze support configuration.
