ABSTRACT:
A clamp for clamping a conduit to an elongate structural supporting element having a central longitudinal axis. The clamp comprises a pair of complementary clamping straps for clamping a conduit therebetween, each strap being formed from a single piece of sheet metal to have inner and outer end portions and a central portion therebetween. The inner end portions of the straps are engageable with the supporting element to mount the straps on the supporting element in a position wherein they extend outwardly from the supporting element at opposite sides of the conduit with the central portions of the straps generally in face-to-face relation. Clamping ears extend generally at right angles to the central portion of each strap for engagement with an outer surface of the conduit at a respective side of the conduit. A fastener is provided for drawing the outer end portions of the straps toward one another so as to move the central portions of the straps toward one another and thus bring the clamping ears into clamping engagement with the conduit to clamp the conduit against the supporting element. The outer end portions of the straps are so twisted relative to the central portions of the straps that, when the clamping straps are drawn together, the outer end portions of the straps are adapted to assume a position wherein they are generally parallel to one another but skewed or parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the supporting element.
