Abstract
A duct mounting fixture for securing a duct to a generally channel-shaped support section having right angle flanges at distal ends of legs or sidewalls is disclosed. The mounting fixture includes a base plate having an outer surface defining a bearing surface for an endwall of a duct, an aperture for a latch member in a middle zone of the outer surface of the base plate, the latch member extending through an opening in the endwall of the duct and grip the endwall. Two pairs of retaining teeth are disposed on the underside of said base plate and selectively cooperable with right angle flanges on different omega- and G-shaped supports. The pairs of retaining teeth are perpendicular to each other and arranged in a generally rectangular array. Thin deformable webs on the retaining teeth restrain the fixture against inadvertent sliding movement on the support section, and thin deformable webs between the head and shank of the latch member compensate for the thickness of the duct endwall.
