ABSTRACT:
A tube hanger for supporting a tube and the like from a mounting surface comprises a unitary body of elastomeric material having a base of generally rectangular shape with resilient arms extending outwardly of the base and arcing to converge in opposed relation. The arms have respective spaced tip ends whereby a partially enclosed cavity sized for receipt of a tube is defined in coordination with the base which has a lateral entrance thereinto between the tip ends for receiving and retaining the tube within the cavity. A plurality of lugs extend radially inward from the arms and are arranged around the cavity for compressibly gripping a tube within the hanger cavity. A notch or opening is formed within the base at an intermediate portion thereof at the root junction of the arms and divides the base into first and second base portions, the notch or opening being open to the hanger cavity. The tube hanger is secured to a mounting surface by means of a nail which has a shank with a plurality of lugs thereon and an enlarged head that compresses the first and second base portions together about the notch or opening and pulls the arms inwardly around the tube with a secure, supportive grip thereon.
