<p>A device for mounting a component (40), such as a pipe, on a threaded stud comprises a main body section (2) with a bore for inserting a stud (30) and a component mounting section. The device includes only a single pawl (7). In the absence of a stud in the bore the pawl (7) extends from a first inner wall (5) of the bore in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the bore. The pawl (7) has a flexible thin section connected to the inner wall and a thick section extending from the thin section. The pawl can be bent in opposite directions at the thin section. A pair of thread engaging sections (10b) for engaging threads (31) of the stud are formed at an end of the thick section. A pair of grooves for engaging threads are formed adjacent to respective engaging sections. A second inner wall (6) of the bore closely surrounds a major portion of the circumference of the stud(30), so that slippage of the stud in the bore is substantially reduced. <IMAGE></p> |
