Abstract
Thread-less and fastener-less hangers for a pipe or tube are provided. The hanger has arms that can be pivoted to an open position for receiving insertion of a pipe or tube between the arms, and to a closed position, in which the arms are positioned to grip and hold the pipe or tube. When the arms are in the closed position, a latch or cam mechanism engages the arms in a manner that locks the arms in the closed position thereby preventing pivoting of the arms and release of the pipe or tube. Hanger assemblies and methods of securing a pipe or tube to a hanger are also provided.
