Abstract
A pair of generally L-shaped identical rod members having a cantilevered bottom end extending transversely from a horizontal base portion are assembled so that the cantilevered end of a first rod member can abut the horizontal base portion of a second rod member while the cantilevered end of the second rod member simultaneous abuts the horizontal base portion of the first rod member. The abutments of the two rods can be made along part or effectively all of the reach or length of the rod members base portions so that the vertical portions of the rod members have two or more different spans therebetween so as to accommodate a range of pipe diameters to be supported. The abutment of the respective cantilevered ends and the horizontal base portions of the rod members are either welded together or clamped securely at various spans forming a closed generally rectangular loop bounded by the respective cantilevered ends and base portions of the two rod members. The closed loop of the rod member assembly is inserted around and clamped to an anchoring post or stud in a concrete or other bottom of an aeration or other tank. The piping is supported at a desired vertical height by a pair of clamp halves levelled and secured by nuts on threaded vertical legs of the respective rod members.
