  • Patent number: 10851917
    Abstract: A seismic clamp for securing a utility pipe to a rigid rod includes a pipe holder that secures the utility pipe to the seismic clamp. A rod fitting secures the rigid rod to the seismic clamp so that the rigid rod extends transverse to the utility pipe. A spacer is disposed between the holder and the rod fitting. The spacer inhibits the rigid rod from contacting the utility pipe when the utility pipe is secured to the seismic clamp, and the rigid rod is secured to the seismic clamp.
