Abstract
A pipe clip comprising a flexible, yet relatively stiff U-shaped holder having two upwardly extending sidewalls with each having a catch element at its upper end and an auxiliary holder open at the top and of relatively softer elastic material. The auxiliary holder receives the pipe and is pressed down into the open top of the U-shaped holder where it is held in place by catch elements of the U-shaped holder and closed about a major portion of the periphery of the pipe. The auxiliary holder also has outwardly extending projections that initially engage behind the catch elements of the U-shaped holder to hold the auxiliary holder in position for receipt of the pipe before it is pressed and locked into place in the U-shaped holder.
