Abstract: A drainfield pipe having a rib radially extending from its wall is supported by a device which includes a pair of elongated anchor members generally parallel to each other and separated for receiving the drainfield pipe therebetween and suspending the pipe from its rib. The elongated anchor members penetrate a grade surface for holding the anchor members upright while supporting the pipe rib within a clamp above the grade surface. The clamp is attached to the anchor member upper portion and holds the rib between clamp jaws. Installing drainfield pipe by supporting the pipe from the radially extending rib permits the pipe to be held at desired positions for introduction of aggregate into an absorption area containing the drainfield pipe without displacing the connected pipe their desired location. With the rib positioned upward and away from the drainfield surface, the support devices holding the pipe are removed after aggregate is placed within the drainfield and around the pipe without displacing the pipe.

Abstract: A drainfield pipe support device includes a pair of elongated anchor members generally parallel to each other and separated for receiving drainfield pipe sections therebetween. The elongated anchor members penetrate a grade surface for holding the anchor members upright while supporting the pipe section within a clamp above the grade surface. The clamp is pivotally attached to the anchor member upper portion and holds a rib extending radially from the pipe section between jaws of the clamp for holding the pipe section from an upper portion of the pipe section. The device and method for installing drainfield pipe sections by supporting such sections from a pipe section top portion permits the sections to be held at desired positions for introduction of aggregate into an absorption area containing the drainfield pipe sections without displacing the sections from their desired location.
