ABSTRACT:
A two-piece cushion insert for a U-bolt clamp assembly for securing large diameter elongate cylindrical members, such as pipe, tubing, conduit or hose, to a support surface is disclosed. The cushion insert comprises a base member and a cushion strip member which cooperate to provide a passageway that encompasses the cylindrical member. The base member includes a concave portion for receiving the cylindrical member and two flange portions each having a shoulder extending upwardly and inwardly away from the flange portion. The cushion strip is of uniform cross-section and has an outer surface having raised portions that define an arcuate saddle for receiving the U-bolt and for preventing relative axial movement between the U-bolt and the cushion insert. Once assembled in the U-bolt clamp assembly, the cushion strip is securely supported at its ends between the U-bolt and the shoulders of the flange portions.
