Abstract: This invention relates generally to supports and more particularly to a spring support device for supporting piping loads subject to generally vertical movement in use due to changes in operating conditions, such as major changes in temperature. The primary feature of the invention is the utilization of a separable bottom end plate which is mechanically assembled, that is, not integrally connected as by welding, to the support casing. The overall casing including an inwardly extending ring or ledge at the lower end thereof, adapted to hold the separate bottom end plate in assembled condition, can thus not only be disassembled to reuse components thereof, but can be entirely galvanized by hot-dip techniques without the need for weld area touch-up techniques required of prior art constructions that integrally weld-assemble the bottom end plate to the casing.
