Abstract:
1. A clamp system for selectively immobilizing a fire suppression supply line comprising: a pipe at least including one inlet and one outlet fluidly coupled together at a generally perpendicular angle; an inner plate having a bend therein such that a first portion and a second portion of said inner plate are defined, said first portion having a first aperture therein having generally a same shape as said pipe, said first aperture having a smaller size than said pipe such that said first aperture defines a saddle for said pipe, said second portion having a plurality of bores extending therethrough; an outer plate having a bend therein such that a first section and a second section of said outer plate are defined, said first section having a second aperture therein having generally a same shape as said pipe, said second aperture having a smaller size than said pipe such that said second aperture defines a saddle for said pipe, said second section having a plurality of bores extending therethrough, said first aperture in said inner plate being aligned with said second aperture in said outer plate when said second section is abutted against said second portion, said pipe being positionable in each of said first and second apertures when said first and second apertures are aligned such that said pipe is secured between said first portion and said first section, said bores in said second portion being aligned with said bores in said second section when said pipe is positioned in said first and second apertures; a plurality of fasteners, each of said fasteners extending through aligned pairs of said bores and into a hood housing; a fire retardant supply line being fluidly coupled to said inlet; and a nozzle being fluidly coupled to said outlet.
