  • Patent number: 5799907
    Abstract: A pipe strap for mounting on the bottom portion of a strut so that pipes can be clamped thereto in addition to the pipes already clamped to the top portion of the strut, the pipe strap including an upper flange portion with an opening therein to receive a threaded bolt therethrough for securing the pipe strap to an associated pipe strap with the pipe therebetween, and a curved arm extending downwardly from the upper flange portion for clamping against the pipe, the curved arm having a reduced lower tab portion for engaging in one of the slotted holes in the bottom portion of the strut to secure the pipe strap thereto so that the pipe strap coacts with the associated pipe strap to clamp the pipe to the bottom portion of the strut in a fixed engagement therewith. In one embodiment, the bottom flange of the pipe strap has a transverse width smaller than the longitudinal length of the slotted hole in the strut for insertion therein.
