Abstract

Provided herein are approaches for supporting a plurality of parallel arranged conduits. In some approaches, a conduit assembly includes a plurality of conduits arranged substantially parallel to one another, and a support structure directly adjacent to and/or in physical contact with each of the plurality of conduits. The support structure may include a first member arranged parallel to a second member, wherein the first and second members are arranged transverse to a lengthwise conduit axis of the plurality of conduits. Each of the first and second members may further include a first section disposed around an exterior surface of the plurality of conduits, and a second section continuing from the first section, the second section extending between each of the plurality of conduits.

Claims (21)

1. A conduit assembly comprising:

a plurality of conduits arranged substantially parallel to one another;

a support structure directly adjacent each of the plurality of conduits, the support structure comprising a first member arranged parallel to a second member, wherein the first and second members are arranged transverse to a lengthwise conduit axis of the plurality of conduits;

a support clamp coupled to the first member of the support structure; and

a support strap extending around the exterior surface of the plurality of conduits.

2. The conduit assembly of claim 1 , wherein the support structure is a single unitary piece of wire.

3. The conduit assembly of claim 1 , wherein the support strap is coupled to the support structure.

4. The conduit assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a strut, wherein the support structure is directly coupled to the strut.

5. A conduit assembly comprising:

a plurality of conduits arranged parallel to one another along a lengthwise conduit axis;

a first member and a second member, wherein the first and second members are arranged transverse to a lengthwise conduit axis of the plurality of conduits, wherein each of the first and second members is disposed around an exterior surface of the plurality of conduits and

between each of the plurality of conduits, and wherein each of the first and second members includes a first end and a second end;

a strut, wherein the first end of the first and second members terminates within an interior channel of the strut, wherein the second end of the first and second members extends along an exterior surface of the strut,

and wherein the strut includes a first plurality of openings offset from a second plurality of openings in a direction parallel to the lengthwise conduit axis, the first end of the first and second members extending through the first plurality of openings; and

a support fastener coupling the second end of one or more of the first and second members to the strut, the support fastener extending through at least one of the second plurality of openings, wherein the first end of at least one of the first and second members is disposed side-by-side along the lengthwise axis with the support fastener.

6. The conduit assembly of claim 5 , wherein the first and second members are directly coupled to the strut.

7. The conduit assembly of claim 5 , the first end of first member being vertically aligned beneath the second end of the second member.

8. A support structure comprising:

a first section disposed around an exterior surface of each of a plurality of conduits;

a second section continuing from the first section, the second section extending between each of the plurality of conduits, wherein the second section is perpendicular to the first section; and

a support strap attached to the second section, the support strap extending around the exterior surface of each of the plurality of conduits.
