Claim 13:
14. A method of supporting a pipe with a pipe clamp assembly comprising:
providing a pipe clamp comprising a first clamp segment and a second clamp segment, each of the first clamp segment and the second clamp segment defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
inserting the pipe through a pipe opening in a substantially horizontal support surface;
positioning the pipe within a substantially vertical void of the pipe clamp, the substantially vertical void defined between the first clamp segment and the second clamp segment;
coupling a support flange to the pipe clamp, the support flange extending substantially horizontally from the pipe clamp; and
resting a base surface of the support flange on the substantially horizontal support surface to support the pipe on the substantially horizontal support surface;
wherein:
the pipe clamp defines a passage formed between the first clamp segment and the second clamp segment;
the support flange defines a flange body and a key extending from a first body end of the flange body; and
the first clamp segment defines a first notch and the second clamp segment defines a second notch aligned with the first notch; and
the first notch and second notch cooperate to define the passage
the method further comprises inserting the key of the support flange into the passage of the pipe clamp.
