Abstract

A clamp for clamping a conduit to a support, the clamp accommodating any conduit having an outer diameter within a specified range of diameters. The clamp includes a pair of clamping straps, one for each side of the conduit and each strap has a stem portion having ears engageable with the channel, an intermediate portion having a window or cutout therein with bridge portions on opposite sides of the window, and an outer end portion. The outer ends of the straps are bolted together so that upon the ends of the straps being drawn together, the bridge portions of the straps conform to and grip portions of the outer surface of the conduit. The window, the bridge portions and the ears of the straps are so structured that the tensile strength of the bridge portion only slightly exceeds the strength of the ears.
