Abstract

An assembly for supporting a pipe to a structural channel includes a pipe cushion having a deformable pipe cushion body and a base for positioning on the structured channel. The base includes a slot therethrough. The body includes a continuous tubular wall extending from the base and is divided by the slot. The tubular wall forms a pipe supporting passageway through the body. The slot is in communication with the passageway and permits insertion of the pipe therein. The assembly also includes a pair of pipe clamp elements. The pipe clamp elements have a first end attachable to the channel and a second end for mutual connection to each other about the pipe cushion. The second ends of the pipe clamp elements are connectable at a crest of the body spaced from the slot.
