  • Publication number: 20060000953
    Abstract: A pipe hold-down for securing a pipe to a building member includes a back having a base end, a distal end, and a fastener receiving aperture extending therethrough from the distal end to the base end. A claw extends outwardly from the back proximate the distal end thereof and curves toward the base end. A leg extends outwardly from the back proximate the base end thereof is more flexible than the back and bendable relative thereto. An opening is defined between a distal end of the claw and the leg. The leg is bendable between a normal position and a pipe admitting position wherein the leg is bent outwardly away from the claw, in the normal position the opening is substantially narrower than the outside diameter of the pipe and in the pipe admitting position the opening is at least as wide as the outside diameter of the pipe.
