Patent attributes
A slope adjusting and locking pipe hanger, and more particularly, a bracket style pipe hanger that includes a plastic or elastomeric insert that is configured to be rotated to a specified angle to adjust, align and secure a pipe at a percentage of slope to place at an angle for gravity drainage and to a series of interlocking tongue and groove ridges and indentations to adjust and secure the percentage slope of a pipe in place for gravity drainage. The pipe hanger provides for supporting a pipe in either a horizontal or vertical orientation along a ceiling, floor, wall, panel or equipment frame. The pipe hanger further provides a smooth contact surface to prevent bacterial build-up and other contaminants from collecting. The pipe hanger is therefore suitable for use in sterile clean room environments.
