Abstract:
1. A connecting device suitable for attaching a pipe, which has a longitudinal axis, to a surface comprising: a first part fixable to the surface and having two spaced sides; a second part slidably attachable to the first part so as to be slidable along the longitudinal axis of the pipe and so as to capture the pipe within the first and second parts, said second part adapted to capture the pipe so as to be slidable along the pipe; and co-operating formations on said first and second parts, said co-operating formations both enabling the attachment of the first part to the second part to be selectively adjustable, so that spacing of the pipe from the surface is adjustable, and limiting slidable movement of the second part relative to the first part in a given direction along the longitudinal axis of the pipe when the pipe is captured by the second part, wherein said second part comprises a base connecting two spaced sides, and inwardly turned ends on said second part sides spaced from said base, wherein said base, sides, and inwardly turned ends of said second part slidably capture the pipe when disposed therein, and wherein said inwardly turned ends are located between said first part sides when said second part is attached to said first part.
