ABSTRACT:
A saddle hanger for suspending a horizontal run of plastic pipe from any overhead structure, such as a horizontal I-beam. A U-shaped strap is provided having a longitudinal extent that is large compared to the diameter of the pipe that it supports, thereby substantially reducing droop in the pipe. The strap is formed by bending about a longitudinal axis a flat saddle blank. The saddle blank has two support portions oppositely and symmetrically disposed about a longitudinal axis and joined by a central rectangular portion. A transverse bolt inserted through apertures in the strap attaches the strap to a saddle hanger support bracket. The bracket is suspended by a hanger rod attached to the overhead structure. The saddle blank includes a pair of ears or clamp bases oppositely and symmetrically disposed about a lateral axis, said ears being partially separated from the central portion by a pair of oppositely-directed lateral slits, thereby defining laterally extending tabs. A pair of clamp covers is provided, each cover corresponding in plan view and end view to an ear that it overlies. Nut and bolt combinations attach the clamp covers to the ears, which together surround the pipe.
