A holder useful in the air conditioning and refrigeration fields for supporting or suspending an insulated pipe by means of a hanger includes a tubular P.V.C. shell for receiving the insulated pipe. The shell has an interior ribbed support for grasping the pipe with sidewalls through which the pipe passes and against which the insulation abuts. A hinge is molded lengthwise along the exterior of the shell. A lengthwise slit through the pipe support cooperates with the hinge whereby the holder may be opened like a clam shell to receive a pipe and the insulation. The holder is provided with a releasable clamp in the shell to lock the insulation in place and the support around the pipe. The shell is provided with an exterior circumferential recess for receipt of the hanger.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A holder for supporting a pipe having a layer of insulation extending around the outer surface thereof, a portion of said layer of insulation having axially spaced end faces, the portion of the pipe extending between the axially spaced end faces of said layer of insulation having no insulation thereon, a tubular shell for receiving said spaced end faces of the layer of insulation and said portion of said pipe, a support centered within said shell, said pipe support having an interior support for grasping said portion of said pipe and axially spaced transverse sidewalls for abutting against the spaced end faces of said layer of insulation, whereby the layer of insulation and exterior surface of the pipe are simultaneously grasped by said holder, to thereby eliminate condensation leaks.
