Abstract
A pipe support system including a main body, at least one channel extending about an exterior surface of the main body, a clamping portion, a cover member, and at least one channel defined about an exterior surface of the cover member. The main body has a recess for receiving a pipe. The clamping portion extends downwardly from the main body. The cover member is positioned, shaped and sized to operatively fit between first and second side walls of the main body so as to cover the pipe when the cover member is placed about the main body. Cooperating channels provided respectively on the main body and the cover member are configured for receiving a corresponding securing member for securing the cover member onto the main body of the pipe support system.
Description
PIPE SUPPORT SYSTEM
Field of the invention:
The present invention relates to a pipe support system, and more particularly, relates to a pipe support system for non-horizontally extending pipes.
Background of the invention:
In the installation of pipes and the like in various types of buildings and in particular pipes associated with air conditioning, refrigeration and heating, such as may be utilized in many commercial and industrial establishments, convention practice is that the pipes are hung from the ceiling by strap hangers.
The most common type of strap hanger employed in the industry comprises a metal strap having apertures for fastening purposes. The strap is looped about the pipe to be secured and then a fastening such as a screw or a similar member is secured to a substrate such as a beam or rafter through the apertures. A
similar arrangement is employed when the pipes follow a vertical outline as is also frequently required in their transporting of a fluid from one location to another.
This conventional means of fastening pipes suffers from several disadvantages. Initially, each pipe must be installed individually and as such the installation process is relatively labour intensive. Secondly, the hangers can cause rupturing of the pipes after a period of time. This would occur due to movement of the pipe within the pipe hanger and subsequent surface damage. This movement can occur either due to mechanical vibrations, and/or to a thermal expansion and contraction.
