ABSTRACT:
A pipe-supporting device adapted to receive and support an exposed pipe on a building roof has a base with a substantially flat bottom for resting on a roof and an upwardly tapered structure secured on and rising from the base to provide an upwardly divergent, substantially V recess having divergent line contacts for receiving the pipe and supporting it above the base. The structure is configured to distribute the weight of the supported pipe substantially equally over the flat area of the base in contact with the roof, and the single line contacts of the V provide this substantially equal distribution of weight regardless of whether the roof is flat or sloped, or regardless of whether the pipe being supported is parallel to the roof or sloped with respect to the roof. Further, the line contacts provide a minimum of resistance to pipe movement so that pipes can easily slide on the device when they expand and contract.
