What Is a Long Eared Riser Clamp?
A long eared riser clamp is a pipe support used with vertical piping. The clamp fastens around the pipe while its extended ears project outward to provide bearing surfaces at a floor or other suitable structural support point.
This arrangement allows the vertical pipe load to be transferred through the clamp to the supporting structure. Proper clamp sizing and structural support are important when selecting a riser clamp for an installation.
