Abstract
A two-piece clamping arrangement for engaging and holding an elongated element, such as a tubular conduit for fluids, or the like. An upper and a lower clamp member are provided to engage oppositely-facing surfaces of the elongated element. One of the upper or lower clamp members includes at least one longitudinally-arranged alignment surface to assure proper alignment of the clamp members when the clamp is assembled about the elongated element. The alignment surface also serves to stiffen the clamp member against bending and thereby serves to increase the holding force of the clamp assembly.
