  • Publication number: 20160238161
    Abstract: A clamping apparatus includes a grommet having a slit and adapted to conform to a surface of a tubular member. The clamping apparatus further includes a clamping bracket having a clamping arcuate portion adapted to abut at least a portion of a surface of grommet and a base bracket having a base arcuate portion adapted to abut at least a portion of the surface of the grommet. The clamping bracket further includes at least one recessed portion and at least one clamping bracket hole. The base bracket further includes at least one base bracket hole. The at least one clamping bracket hole is adapted to coaxially align with the at least one base bracket hole to receive a fastening member. The base arcuate portion and clamping arcuate portion define a passageway between the clamping and the base bracket to receive the grommet along with the tubular member coaxially therein.
