Abstract

A first clamp member and a second clamp member are positioned in opposed spaced relation with a conduit, pipe or the like, positioned therebetween. Each clamp member has a body portion including an engaging end portion adapted for attachment to a structural support and an opposite connecting end portion. An intermediate portion having an arcuate configuration extends between the engaging and connecting end portions and is adapted to receive and support the conduit. A moisture resistant, polymeric material covers the clamp member body portions so that the clamp members are completely encapsulated to seal out the effects of moisture. A bore extends through the connecting end portion of each clamp member. In assembly, the bores are oppositely aligned to receive a fastening element which draws the connecting end portions together for engagement of the intermediate portions with the periphery of the conduit. The polymeric coating extends outwardly from the opposed sides of each clamp member around the bores to form a moisture resistant seal for encapsulating the fastening element. The seal includes telescoping elements movable one within the other to permit selective spacing of the clamp members to accommodate a range of conduit sizes. Thus, the clamp members are usable with more than a single size of conduit and the fastening element remains completely encapsulated within the moisture resistant seal for each size of conduit received between the clamp members.
