Abstract:

A clamping device for securing a conduit in close transverse relation to the flat web portion of a C-shaped support channel. The clamping device includes two identical straps each having a curved section for engaging a side of the conduit, a leg extending in depending relation from the curved section, and a fastening flange extending from the opposite side of the curved section. An abutment flange extends from the leg of each strap such that when the straps are in mounted position on opposite sides of the conduit the abutment flanges are positionable in side by side relation and resist outward separation of the legs. For rigidly securing the straps in clamping engagement about the conduit, one of the strap fastening flanges captively carries a self-threading screw for insertion into an aperture in the opposite fastening flange located in slightly skewed relation thereto, whereby threadable engagement of the screw with the opposite flange pulls the fastening flanges together and draws the abutment flanges longitudinally into rigid abutting relation.
