Abstract: A device or apparatus that receives and supports a pipe, especially a pipe exposed on a horizontal surface like a roof. The device has a base with a substantially flat bottom for resting on the horizontal surface and a supporting structure with a recess rising from the base to support the pipe. Positioning means are provided in the bottom of the recess to position and center the pipe within the recess. Such a device maximizes the sliding ability of the pipe and minimize erosion of the recess since the pipe rarely abuts the walls of the recess.

Abstract: A roof top pipe support includes a base having a substantially flat bottom to rest on the roof. At least one, and preferably a pair of raised portions provide a pair of stud-receiving holes in the base to receive and direct studs, preferably threaded studs, upwardly from the base. The raised portion also can receive and support a pipe supporting roller. A pipe support such as a pipe supporting roller or a strut also can extend between upwardly extending studs and be adjustably secured to the studs so the height of the pipe support can be adjusted. Either pipe support can be used depending upon conditions and the height of the support needed.
