Abstract:
A monitoring device for a pipe system includes a housing, a housing fastener, and a strap assembly. The housing is configured to mount on an exterior surface of a pipe element of the pipe system. The strap assembly is coupled to the housing with the housing fastener, and the housing fastener is received within the housing to secure the strap assembly to the housing. The strap assembly includes a first strap and a second strap, each of the first strap and the second strap including a mounting end, an adjusting end, and an intermediate portion. The first strap includes an insert tab proximate to the first adjusting end, and the second strap includes a plurality of adjustment slots sized to lockably receive a portion of the insert tab. The insert tab is lockably coupled to the second strap when the monitoring device is tightened.

Claim (Index 10):
The monitoring device of  claim 8 , wherein:\n the mounting tab comprises a first mounting tab and a second mounting tab; the first strap comprises a first mounting end, a first adjusting end distally located from the first mounting end, and an intermediate portion therebetween, wherein the first strap further comprises the first mounting tab proximate to the first mounting end and an insert tab proximate to the first adjusting end, wherein the first mounting tab is coupled to a first mounting receptacle of the pair of mounting receptacles; and the second strap comprises a second mounting end, a second adjusting end distally located from the second mounting end, and a second intermediate portion therebetween, wherein the second strap further comprises the second mounting tab proximate to the second mounting end and the second mounting tab coupled to a second mounting receptacle of the pair of mounting receptacles, wherein the second strap defines a plurality of adjustment slots proximate to the second adjusting end, wherein each adjustment slot is aligned in an axial direction of the strap assembly and sized to lockably receive a portion of the insert tab in any one of a plurality of insert positions, wherein each insert position corresponds to a different inner diameter of the strap assembly when the housing fastener is tightened, wherein a portion of the first strap proximate to the first adjusting end crosses a portion of the second strap proximate to the second adjusting end, and wherein a portion of the first strap is positioned radially inside the second adjusting end of the second strap, the insert tab lockably coupled to the second strap when the housing fastener is tightened.
