Abstract: A compact, universal hanger for tailpipes and the like includes an L-shaped mounting bracket having a horizontal leg for mounting on the horizontal surface of a vehicle frame or the like and an aperture extending along the intersection of its legs. A pair of resiliently deflectable straps are pivotably mounted to the depending leg of the bracket, and the aperture in the horizontal leg provides clearance for free pivoting of the strap disposed thereunder. At the lower end of the strap is pivotably mounted a U-shaped support bracket, and pivotably secured to the web of the support bracket is a hanger bracket for supporting a pipe clamp.
