The spider bracket has a plurality of arms (12-18) supporting the heating element. These ends are affixed to an electrical wiring support bracket (20) which includes a bracket arm (22) attached to a spider arm (12) and extending therefrom. A holding fixture (24) connects to the bracket arm and includes separate apertures (26, 28) through which each of which a respective end of the heating element is inserted. The fixture also includes a separate, spaced slot (30) in which one of the heating element ends is also inserted. Each aperture has a circumferential rim (26r, 28r) projecting outwardly from the fixture and extending circumferentially about the aperture.
