ABSTRACT:
A saddle clamp assembly includes a hollow cylindrical body centered about a longitudinal axis and being diametrically split into semicircular top and bottom sections each having a pair of radially outwardly projecting connection flanges at their opposite ends. A pair of bolts are captively retained on the top section flanges and are threadable into nuts captively retained on the bottom section flanges. A base member is anchored to a central underside portion of the bottom clamp body section and has a pair of connection tabs positioned beneath the bottom clamp body section connection flanges on opposite sides of the clamp axis. A pair of bolts are captively retained on the base member connection tabs and are threadable into a pair of nuts captively retainable on a support structure. The connection tab and connection flanges on each side of the clamp body are axially offset in a manner permitting downward installation/removal tool access to the lower bolts past the connection flanges. An elongated retention tether is used to connect the top clamp body section to the balance of the clamp assembly to prevent loss of the top clamp body section when it is removed from the bottom clamp body section.
