Abstract

A riser support assembly includes a riser support pipe comprising a sidewall defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an intermediate portion extending therebetween, the intermediate portion configured to extend through an elevated support structure; and a mount extending from the sidewall, the mount configured to engage a mounting surface of the elevated support structure to support the riser support assembly on the mounting surface.

Claims (42)

1. A riser support assembly comprising:

a riser support pipe comprising a sidewall defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an intermediate portion extending therebetween, the intermediate portion configured to extend through an elevated support structure; and

a mount extending from the sidewall, the mount configured to engage a mounting surface of the elevated support structure to support the riser support assembly on the mounting surface;

wherein the mount comprises a pedestal, the pedestal extending substantially parallel to the riser support pipe, the pedestal comprising a base configured to engage the mounting surface.

2. The riser support assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mount extends from the intermediate portion of the riser support pipe.

3. The riser support assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mount further comprises an arm, the arm extending between the sidewall and the pedestal.

4. The riser support assembly of claim 3 , wherein the arm is welded to the rise support pipe.

5. The riser support assembly of claim 3 , wherein the arm is oriented substantially perpendicular to each of the riser support pipe and the pedestal.

6. The riser support assembly of claim 3 , wherein the pedestal further comprises a leg extending between the arm and the base, the base defines a base surface configured to engage the mounting surface, and a width of the base surface is greater than a width of the leg.

7. The riser support assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mount is adjustable between a first orientation and a second orientation to selectively adjust a height of the riser support assembly relative to the mounting surface.

8. The riser support assembly of claim 7 , wherein:

in the first orientation, the pedestal defines a first effective length; and

in the second orientation, the pedestal defines a second effective length that is less than the first effective length.

9. The riser support assembly of claim 8 , wherein:

the mount further comprises an arm extending between the sidewall and the pedestal;

the arm defines a threaded hole;

the pedestal defines a threaded leg rotationally engaged with the threaded hole;

rotating the threaded leg within the threaded hole in a first direction disposes the mount in the first orientation; and

rotating the threaded leg within the threaded hole in a second direction disposes the mount in the second orientation.

10. The riser support assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mount is a first mount, and where in the riser support assembly further comprises a second mount extending from the sidewall and configured to engage the mounting surface.

11. The riser support assembly of claim 10 , wherein the first mount extends from a first side of the sidewall and the second mount extends from a second side of the sidewall opposite the first side.

12. The riser support assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a first coupling attached to the first end of the riser support pipe, wherein the first coupling is configured to engage a riser of a piping system.

13. A method of installing a riser support assembly comprising:

receiving an intermediate portion of a riser support pipe of the riser support assembly through a bore of an elevated support structure, the intermediate portion extending between a first end of the riser support pipe and a second end of the riser support pipe opposite the first end; and

engaging a mount of the riser support assembly with a mounting surface of the elevated support structure to support the riser support assembly on the mounting surface, the mount extending from a sidewall of the riser support pipe.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising coupling a riser pipe to the riser support pipe with a first coupling.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein:

the mount comprises a pedestal extending substantially parallel to the riser support pipe; and

engaging the mount of the riser support assembly with the mounting surface of the elevated support structure comprises engaging a base surface of the pedestal with the mounting surface.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the pedestal comprises a base and a leg extending from the base, the base defines the base surface, and a width of the base surface is greater than a width of the leg.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the mount further comprises an arm, the arm extending between the sidewall of the riser support pipe and the leg of the pedestal.

18. The method of claim 15 , further comprising adjusting a length of the pedestal from a first effective length to a second effective length to adjust a height of the riser support pipe relative to the elevated support structure.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein:

the mount further comprises an arm extending between the sidewall and the pedestal;

the arm defines a threaded hole;

the pedestal defines a threaded leg rotationally engaged with the threaded hole; and

adjusting a length of the mount from a first effective length to a second effective length comprises rotating the threaded leg within the threaded hole in a first direction.

20. A riser support assembly comprising:

a riser support pipe comprising a sidewall defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an intermediate portion extending therebetween, the intermediate portion configured to extend through an elevated support structure; and

a mount extending from the sidewall, the mount configured to engage a mounting surface of the elevated support structure to support the riser support assembly on the mounting surface;

wherein the mount is a first mount, and wherein the riser support assembly further comprises a second mount extending from the sidewall and configured to engage the mounting surface.

21. The riser support assembly of claim 20 , wherein the first mount extends from a first side of the sidewall and the second mount extends from a second side of the sidewall opposite the first side.
