Abstract
Various embodiments provide a line clamp assembly that includes a base, cradle, and clamp. The base includes wings and a body. The wings extend from the body and each includes a routing port. The body is configured to be welded to a structure. The cradle includes a generally C-shaped body that defines a channel and an opening. The channel is configured to receive the line via the opening. The cradle is configured to sit on the base. The clamp includes a body having ends that each include an attachment configured to mate with a corresponding routing port of the wings. A force is applied to the cradle to compress the cradle such that the attachments are mated with the routing ports. The force applied to the cradle is removed after the attachments are mated with the routing ports such that the cradle expands to apply pressure to the clamp.
