Claim:
A drainage channel installation device comprising a channel-securing member and a channel-hanging member, wherein: a) said channel-securing member includes a top surface, opposed side surfaces, opposed ends adapted to be releasably secured to opposed side walls of a subjacent drainage channel, and a cavity disposed in at least one of said side surfaces and extending through said top surface, wherein a portion of said cavity distal from said top surface is wider than a portion of said cavity at said top surface; and b) said channel-hanging member has an engaging end including a foot portion shaped to fit into said cavity via said side surface in which the cavity is disposed, and a suspending end adapted to receive and retain a suspending member; whereby, when said channel-securing member and said channel-hanging member are releasably engaged so as to maintain at least a portion of said channel-hanging member vertically above said channel-securing member, said channel-securing member is releasably secured to the opposed side walls of the subjacent drainage channel and the suspending end of the channel-hanging member receives and retains the suspending member, and said subjacent drainage channel can be suspended from said suspending member so as to maintain at least a portion of said subjacent drainage channel vertically below said channel-securing member.
