Pipe-to-Pipe Brace Assembly

摘要

A pipe brace assembly includes a main clamp body that can be secured to a brace pipe. A cable, or other flexible tensioning member, can be wrapped around a braced pipe and secured to the main clamp body. The pipe brace assembly includes a method or mechanism for tensioning the cable or flexible tensioning member around the braced pipe. In some embodiments, the tensioning method or mechanism involves moving, such as rotating, the main clamp body to tension the cable or tensioning member. The clamping of the main clamp body and tensioning of the cable or tensioning member can occur simultaneously.

主权项

1. A brace assembly for bracing a braced pipe relative to a brace pipe, comprising:
a cable; a main body comprising an annular portion defining an opening that receives the brace pipe, a cable stop that supports a first portion of the cable, a pipe support surface that supports the braced pipe; a cable anchor that can fix a second portion of the cable relative to the main body such that the cable can be placed in tension between the first and second portions; a cable tensioning arrangement configured to move the cable stop relative to the cable anchor to tension the cable around the braced pipe and secure the braced pipe against the pipe support surface.
