A pipe hanger assembly adapted to be suspended from a support or the like for supporting a pipe or the like, in which the pipe hanger assembly comprises a washer member having a first aperture therethrough for receiving the support, the washer member also including additional aperture means for receiving the respective opposite ends of a flexible multi-strand metal cable which receives the pipe or duct member being supported. Each end of the cable has secured thereto a corresponding end sleeve member which serves to retain the cable on the washer member. The metal cable is preferably coated or sheathed with an insulating and cushioning material along at least the portion of its length which engages the pipe or duct, but the ends of the cable to which the end sleeves are secured should not be coated or sheathed with the insulating material. In one embodiment of the hanger assembly, the aperture means in the washer member receives a stud member which is distinct from and does not communicate with the additional aperture means which receive the ends of the cable; whereas in another embodiment of the pipe hanger assembly, the aperture means in the washer member which receives the stud member communicates with at least one of the additional aperture means which receive the ends of the cable; and in still another embodiment, the aperture means in the washer member which receives the stud member communicates with both oppositely disposed aperture means which receives the respective opposite ends of the cable. In another embodiment the cable operates as the pipe support and washer member support as an integral structure.

A universal pipe hanger assembly adapted to be suspended from a support for insulating and uniformly supporting the full under surface of a pipe or the like, comprising a substantially uniformly flat or planar washer member having a first aperture therethrough for receiving said support, said washer member comprising additional aperture means for receiving at least one end of a multistrand flexible metal cable, said washer member being adapted to be assembled in stacked relation to other similar washer members if required to add strength to said pipe hanger assembly, a flexible multistrand metal cable hugging a pipe of any size for uniformly carrying the weight of the pipe across the width of the pipe and having the opposite ends of the cable respectively received in the aperture means of said washer member, an insulating and cushioning sheath on the exterior surface of said metal cable and encasing said cable along a substantial portion of the length thereof forming an intimate contact across the full under surface of the pipe insulating and cushioning the cable from the pipe to prevent electrolytic action and abrasion, and first and second substantially identical stop sleeve members distinct from said multi-strand cable but respectively compressively secured to the respective opposite ends of said metal cable and seated on said washer member around the aperture means to retain said cable on said washer member and distribute the load carrying support over the length of the stop sleeves.
