Abstract
A pipe clamp secures a pipe to a structural member. The pipe clamp includes an inverted U-shaped clamp body having a transverse surface and a pair of spaced-apart legs for attachment to the structural member. A threaded bolt is moveably accommodated through an opening in the transverse surface. The pipe engagement saddle is positioned at the distal end of the bolt. A split nut, supported by the transverse surface, provides for moveable accommodation of the threaded bolt there through. A split nut is configurable between a first condition wherein the threaded bolt is moveable under screw threaded operation; a second condition wherein the bolt is moveable through the nut under non-screw threaded operation. Movement of the bolt under the first or second condition affects movement of the saddle with respect to the pipe.
