Abstract: A pipe insulation coupling for supporting a pipe and for coupling adjacent ends of pipe insulation tubing is disclosed. The pipe insulation coupling comprises an outer tube wall, a planar interior wall and a sealing mechanism. The outer tube wall extends along a longitudinal axis. The outer tube wall is split longitudinally from a first end thereof to a second end thereof to define a first body portion and a second body portion. The planar interior wall extends inwardly from the outer tube wall transverse to the longitudinal axis. The planar interior wall includes a center bore for receiving the pipe. The planar interior wall provides an abutment for the adjacent ends of the pipe insulation tubing. The sealing mechanism extends longitudinally between the first and second ends of the outer tube wall for securing the first and second body portions together.

Abstract: A pipe insulation coupling supports a pipe and couples adjacent ends of pipe insulation tubing. The pipe insulation coupling comprises an elongated tube, an inner tube wall, an inner transverse wall, a first end wall, a second end wall, and a molded threaded insert. The elongated tube extends along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end. The inner tube wall is spaced inwardly from the elongated tube and extends along the longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end. The elongated tube and the inner tube wall are split longitudinally from the first end to the second end to define a first body portion and a second body portion. The inner transverse wall extends inwardly from the inner tube wall transverse to the longitudinal axis between the first and second ends. The inner transverse wall includes a center bore for receiving the pipe and provides an abutment for the adjacent ends of the insulation tubing.

Abstract: A pipe insulation coupling (10) for supporting a pipe (11) and for coupling adjacent ends of pipe insulation tubing (14) is disclosed. The pipe insulation coupling (10) comprises an outer tube wall (22), a first planar interior wall (23) and a scaling mechanism (18). The outer tube wall extends along a longitudinal axis (33) between a first end (37) and a second end (38). The outer tube wall is split longitudinally from the first end to the second end to define a first body portion (39) and a second body portion (40). The first planar interior wall extends inwardly from the outer tube wall transverse to the longitudinal axis between the first and second ends. The first planar interior wall includes a center bore (28) for receiving the pipe. The first planar interior wall provides an abutment for the adjacent ends of the insulation tubing.

Abstract: A pipe support is coupled to an elongated channel for receiving and supporting a pipe. The channel includes a base and a pair of spaced apart sidewalls extending from the base to a top plate. A flange projects downwardly from each top plate towards the base and defines a slot therebetween. The pipe support includes a body portion extending axially between opposite ends and having an inner surface and an outer surface. The body portion includes a generally arcuate bottom floor and a pair of spaced apart sidewalls projecting generally upwardly from the bottom floor. A plurality of axially spaced apart channel clips project downwardly from the outer surface of the body portion opposite the side walls. The channel clips have a leg portion and an outwardly projecting barb portion wherein the channel clips extend through the slot in the channel and the barb portions engage the respective spaced apart flanges to operatively couple the pipe support to the channel.

Abstract: A riser clamp assembly for receiving and supporting an insulated pipe. The clamp assembly includes a first riser clamp and a second riser clamp. Each of the riser clamps includes a semi-circular body portion extending arcuately between opposite first and second ends and defining an inner cylindrical wall and an outer cylindrical wall extending axial between top and bottom edges. A generally C-shaped flange projects radially from the inner cylindrical wall generally midway between the top and bottom edges to define an axial center opening. A support brace extends radially from the outer cylindrical wall adjacent each end of the body portion for interconnecting the first and second riser clamps around the insulated pipe.

Abstract: A cushion insert includes a body having a slot. A first cushion half and a second cushion half extend in an arc in opposite directions from the slot and have ends spaced apart to form a gap in a location opposite the slot. A passageway extends axially through the cushion insert and is defined by the first cushion half and the second cushion half. A spacer extends axially along a top of the body and has a passage. A tab extends axially along a bottom of the body.

Abstract: An adjustable clamp assembly capable of securing various sized cylindrical members is generally formed from a high strength plastic material dispensing the need for a cushion insert for the cylindrical member disposed therebetween. The clamp assembly contains a pair of unitary clamp halves having an inner surface contoured to adequately contact the surface of various sized cylindrical members to provide support when clamping forces are applied. The clamp halves can be interlockingly engageable with one another to enhance the cylindrical member size adjustment capability.

Abstract: A two-piece cushion insert for a U-bolt clamp assembly for securing large diameter elongate cylindrical members, such as pipe, tubing, conduit or hose, to a support surface is disclosed. The cushion insert comprises a base member and a cushion strip member which cooperate to provide a passageway that encompasses the cylindrical member. The base member includes a concave portion for receiving the cylindrical member and two flange portions each having a shoulder extending upwardly and inwardly away from the flange portion. The cushion strip is of uniform cross-section and has an outer surface having raised portions that define an arcuate saddle for receiving the U-bolt and for preventing relative axial movement between the U-bolt and the cushion insert. Once assembled in the U-bolt clamp assembly, the cushion strip is securely supported at its ends between the U-bolt and the shoulders of the flange portions.

Abstract: A clamp assembly for securing elongate cylindrical members, such as pipe, tubing, conduit or hose, to a support surface. The clamp assembly comprises a split sleeve shock absorbing cushion and a U-shaped rod or bolt member. The cushion has an outer surface comprising a spaced pair of raised portions that form a saddle for the U-bolt rod member. When the U-bolt member is attached to the support surface the cushion is retainably engaged by the U-bolt and transmits the clamping force from the U-bolt across the full width of the inner surface of the cushion to the cylindrical member.

Abstract: The present invention is a clamp assembly having two clamp halves. A cushion insert is disposed within the clamp halves to retain a tube, conduit, or other cylindrical member within the clamp assembly. The cushion insert includes means for allowing the cushion insert to flex and be disposed about the tube.

Abstract: A two-piece clamp for securing elongate cylindrical members, such as pipe, tubing, conduit or hose, to a channel. The two-piece clamp has two clamp halves fabricated with an aperture at one end. A stud is non-rotatably secured in the aperture of one of the clamp halves and is adapted to be detachably secured in the aperture of the other clamp half. A spacer may be integrally formed on the stud for permitting the clamp halves to be squarely clamped together. The method and machine for securing the stud to a clamp half features an automated assembly system for forming one end of the stud after assembling the clamp half thereon to securely lock the stud onto the clamp half.
