Pipe support
A pipe support for supporting a pipe section above a ground surface, the pipe support including an upper support surface and at least one sidewall extending from the upper support surface to a base member. The upper support surface and the at least one sidewall form a hollow interior. The pipe support further includes a saddle formed in the upper support surface, the saddle recessed within the support surface to support a pipe therein. The saddle includes a first end and an opposed second end such that at least one of the first end or the second end angularly extends toward the base member.

Pipe support system, and method of use
A pipe support system. The pipe support system comprises a first wedge block and a second opposing wedge block. Each of the wedge blocks comprises a base having walls, and forming an angled top surface. The angled top surfaces face one another and support respective replaceable caps. The caps are configured to support a joint or section of pipe along an outer diameter of the pipe. Beneficially, the distance or spacing between the wedge blocks may be adjusted by an operator to accommodate sections of pipe having different diameters. A method for supporting a section of pipe is also provided.
PLUMBING ROUTING SYSTEM AND METHOD
Systems and methods for routing a plumbing line along a wall include tracks having clip-retaining mechanisms and being attachable to the wall; plumbing-retaining members for gripping the plumbing line and being removably anchored to the clip-retaining mechanisms; and covers removably securable to the tracks. The systems and methods can further include a leak detection system comprising strips of conductive material on the tracks, the covers, or both. The strips are connected to a controller configured to detect a short or a voltage change across the strips indicative of a leak in the plumbing line, and to issue an alarm or to shut-off one or more plumbing valves.

PIPE CLAMP, PIPE CLAMP DRIVER AND ANTI-BACKDRIVE MECHANISM
A power tool including a housing and a motor housed in the housing. There is a spring engine housed in the housing and a driver blade driven by the spring engine. Additionally, the power tool holds a pipe clamp configured to be driven into a workpiece by the driver blade.
Riser support assembly
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.
Clamp assembly for solar tracker
In an example, the solar tracker has a clamp assembly that is configured to pivot a torque tube. In an example, the assembly has a support structure configured as a frame having configured by a first anchoring region and a second anchoring region. In an example, the support structure is configured from a thickness of metal material. In an example, the support structure is configured in an upright manner, and has a major plane region. In an example, the assembly has a pivot device configured on the support structure and a torque tube suspending on the pivot device and aligned within an opening of the support and configured to be normal to the plane region. In an example, the torque tube is configured on the pivot device to move about an arc in a first direction or in a second direction such that the first direction is in a direction opposite to the second direction.
