ABSTRACT:
A hanger assembly for pipe joints which includes a pipe joint coupling and a removable stabilizer for connecting the coupling to the hanger bar. The stabilizer includes a saddle sandwiched between the shield and the clamping bands of the coupling. The shield, in turn, surrounds the resilient sleeve into which the ends of the pipes project. The saddle is formed from a pair of thin arcuate saddle plates, the outer edges of which are provided with outwardly projecting alignment tabs.
An outwardly projecting flat lug on the saddle is formed from a pair of flat rectangular opposed lug elements joined at their distal ends along a common edge and respectively joined to the saddle plates at their proximal ends. The lug has a hole for receiving a securing bolt which passes both through the lug and through an eyelet, at one end of the hanger rod. The other end of the hanger rod is anchored to the supporting structure. In one embodiment, the lug is disposed axially while, in the other embodiment, the lug is disposed radially. Each stabilizer depicted in the drawing is formed from a unitary piece of sheet metal. In a third embodiment, the axially disposed lug elements diverge from each other so as to pivot the saddle plates to conform to varying sizes of pipes.
