NON-METALLIC STRUT SYSTEM

摘要

LATERALLY ADJUSTABLE CEILING-TYPE SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR PIPE HANGING ETC. A non-metallic strut support system using a fiberglass channel and composite thermoplastic bands to support piping or ducting used in corrosive environments. The structural strut has a pair of longitudinal flanges which project inwardly. Complemental composite thermoplastic support bands are provided which have a natural curvature for supporting a pipe or duct when the bands are engaged. The bands have flanges on their top portion which engage the flanges of the structural strut when the top portion of the bands are placed within the channel of the strut. The top portion of the bands provides easy insertion and removal of the bands from the strut channel manually, either by inserting and turning to fit in the lock position, or in close clearance areas the head can be compressed to provide snap-in placement into the strut. The bands are adjusted by a bolt in a housing on the end of one band and matching slots on the end of the other band. The bolt and slots are threadably engaged and the bolt is driven until the desired tightness around the pipe or duct is achieved.
