  • Publication number: 20050258315
    Abstract: A snap-on bracket can be used to suspend conduit, pipes, wires, AC and furnace lines, and the like beneath a floor joist or other frame or structural member. The apparatus includes a generally U-shaped bracket portion of a size to snugly fit over the edge of a board such as is commonly used for floor joists. A plurality of inwardly-directed teeth elements on the inside surfaces of the walls of the bracket portion facilitate grasping of the joist. A downwardly-depending strap portion extends from the base of the bracket, such that the strap can be wrapped around the conduit to be suspended beneath the joist, and secured to itself or the bracket to support and fix the conduit in place.
