Abstract
A novel, low-cost pipe bracket which is provided with drill holes instead of pre-cast passageways as formed in a casting type bracket, said drill holes being disposed to register with the connection ports of any fluid pressure operable device to be mounted on the bracket. A pipe connector, either of the screw-threaded or butt weld type is placed in each drill hole and secured therein by a flange formed on the connector being drawn up against a shoulder formed in the drill hole when the valve device is secured to the pipe bracket. Thus, when the pipes have been connected to the pipe connectors, the valve device may be removed without disconnecting the pipes from the bracket.
