Abstract:
An insulating pipe clamp for supporting a pipe within an aperture in a metal wall stud comprising an annular body portion having a radially outwardly protruding flange at one end and a plurality of circumferentially spaced different diameter holes extending axially through said body portion sized to accommodate different size pipes, the axes of said holes being offset from the axis of the body portion to permit rotation of the clamp to compensate for any misalignment between a pipe extending through one of more of the offset holes and a respective aperture in a metal wall stud in which the clamp is inserted, and a plurality of cavities in said body portion to save on material, at least one of said cavities having a transverse end wall containing a smaller diameter hole for accommodating a smaller diameter pipe, said transverse end wall having a thickness substantially less than the overall thickness of said body portion.
