ABSTRACT:
A mounting insulator for securing a pipe, conduit, or tube through a metal wall stud or other thin planar surface to reduce the noise of water hammer and dialectic interaction between the pipe and the wall stud, the device including an off-center pipe receiving passage which allows for adjustable positioning of a pipe axis relative to the stud aperture axis.
The device is comprised of a substantially annular, somewhat flexible ring having a radial slot allowing the annular body to be spread apart and an interior circular passage, the central axis of which is offset relative to the axis of the annular ring. The circular passage includes a flexible wall portion which allows for a snug fit when a pipe is received therein. The device further includes a raised peripheral barrier and a plurality of flanges which cooperate to allow the device to be locked tightly in an aperture in a metal wall stud. The device is mounted about a pipe by spreading the annular body at the radial slot, and then inserted in the stud aperture. Precise alignment of the pipe through a stud aperture is achieved by rotating the device which changes the position of the circular pipe receiving passage around the central axis of the ring allowing for positioning adjustment of the pipe relative to the stud aperture. The device can be installed on a pipe already disposed through the stud aperture.
