A saddle for a U-bolt clamp formed with two similar sheet metal half sections spot welded together in face-to-face relation. The upper central portion of the web of the clamp is formed with a semicircular recess to accommodate one-half of the periphery of the joint between telescoped tubes. At laterally opposite sides thereof the saddle is formed with parallel upright tubular portions adapted to slideably receive the legs of a U-bolt which surrounds the other half of the tube joint. The lower edge of the saddle, and optionally the edge of the semicircular recess, is formed with reinforcement flanges turned outwardly in opposite directions from the plane of the web of the saddle.
