Abstract

A conduit hanger assembly that supports at least one conduit is disclosed. The conduit hanger assembly includes a first member and a second member extending from the first member. The first member has a U-shaped clamp that engages a building structure to support the hanger assembly. The second member has a base with arms extending therefrom. The U-shaped clamp, base and arms define a channel to support the conduit therein. The conduit hanger assembly may include gangable add-on conduit hangers that connect to the conduit hanger assembly to support additional conduits in the assembly.
