Abstract
A device for clamping conduit which includes a U-shaped body portion having a recess therein located between two legs of the body portion, and a toothed jaw portion positioned at the bottom of the recess for engaging a pipe or conduit. A clamping portion is hingedly secured to one of the legs of the body portion at the free end thereof by an integral flexible hinge, and is adapted to fold about the hinge to enclose the pipe or conduit in the recess by means of a second toothed jaw portion formed on the clamping portion. Each of the legs of the body portion carries a protuberant apertured flange with the apertures in the flanges positioned for alignment with corresponding apertures in the clamping portion when the clamping portion is pivoted to its recess closing position. The aligned apertures in the flanges and clamping portions can then be used for receiving fasteners extended through these apertures and into a supporting surface such as a wall or the like.
