ABSTRACT:
A fastener for holding or securing a length of electrical conduit, cable or pipe against the flat center panel of a metal stud whose center panel contains a series of spaced apart holes. The fastener includes an elongated helically coiled metal spring whose midportion is axially positioned within a cylindrical retainer of rubber-like plastic material. The length of the coiled spring is about twice the width of the holes in the metal stud and the length of the cylindrical retainer is about half that of the coiled spring. The pipe to be secured is positioned over a hole in the stud, the fastener is pinched into a U shape surrounding the pipe and the opposite ends of the coiled spring are inserted into the hole in the stud. When the tension on the pinched fastener is released, the spring will be locked into the hole in the stud and the pipe will be firmly secured against the center panel of the stud.
