Abstract: The present invention is a pipe support system including a slanted bolstering device or arrangement, which receives and supports at least one exposed pipe, so as to isolate the pipe to prevent transmission of movement, sound or heat. Embodiments of the slanted bolstering device are designed to be attached to a strut support or mounting rail, and may include a pair of lateral bolstering clamps, and a circular pipe isolator. Embodiments of the invention also include a series of lateral bolstering clamps that may be mounted on the same strut support or mounting rail, providing even greater stabilization, and an organized system for mounting multiple pipes of different sizes. The present invention mitigates the effects of shifting or settling movement of the structure and provides additional shock absorption, prevents pipe rupture, and increases cushion protection among pipes of different sizes that may be mounted on a strut support.

Abstract: Disclosed is a small space-saving two-part coupling system for attaching threaded pipes which is particularly suited for use in replacing broken valves, pipes or parts in existing plumbing systems where little space is available. The invention includes a pair of nuts with male extensions located thereon, each nut having a helically threaded axial bore therethrough, and exterior helical threads on the male extension. The bore of the first nut has R.H. threads, and the male extension of the first nut has L.H. threads. The bore of the second nut has L.H. threads, and the male extension of the second nut has R.H. threads. The nuts are designed to be coupled to each other using the L.H. threads, and coupled to an existing pipe system using the R.H. threads.

Abstract: A carrier unit for securely holding a pipe so as to isolate the pipe to prevent transmission of sound or heat, which unit provides a significant degree of float or play in the movement of the pipe in the event of settling, shifting or earthquake. The invention also includes a support system for the holding of one or more of the subject carrier units so that a plurality of pipes may be installed in a single system thereby saving considerable time and manpower costs.
