Abstract
A hanger for suspending equipment within an existing liquid storage tank includes a longitudinal channel having one end adapted to be fixed adjacent to the upper end of a receiving riser pipe and a second end adapted to project within the tank. A parallel arm assembly is foldable at the second end of the channel and is movable longitudinally in opposition to biasing springs. The arm assembly engages an interior tank surface at opposite sides of the channel to fix the location from which suspended equipment is hung. This isolates the suspension point for the equipment from dimensional changes that might occur in the channel supporting it along the upright riser pipe.
