Abstract
An insulating pipe clamp for supporting one or more pipes within an aperture in a metal wall stud and the like includes an annular body portion having a radially outwardly protruding flange at one end. Extending axially through the body portion are a plurality of different diameter holes for accommodating different size pipes. The axes of the holes are offset from the axis of the body portion to permit rotation of the clamp to compensate for any misalignment between a pipe extending through one or more of the holes and a respective aperture in a metal wall stud in which the clamp is inserted. On the rearwardly facing end wall of the flange are a plurality of tabs for grasping by an installer for ease of insertion of the clamp into a respective aperture in a metal wall stud and for ease of rotation of the clamp within the aperture.
