1. A hanger for pipe comprising:
- a. a flexible collar formed with an interstice and being adapted for bending between a pipe-engaging position and a pipereleasing position, said collar being provided with means for releasably securing said collar in the pipe-engaging position including an integral protrusion adjacent one side of the interstice and a recess adjacent the other side of the interstice, said recess being adapted to interlock with said protrusion in contour conforming mating relation for maintaining the inner wall of said collar substantially cylindrical; and
b. means projecting radially from said collar and spaced angularly from said interstice for suspending said collar from a support structure, said securing means provide interlockable members located at opposite sides of said interstice, said protrusion being hooked-shaped and said recess being hookedshaped, said protrusion including three exterior leg surfaces with first and second leg surfaces interconnected by a third surface, said first and second surfaces being substantially parallel relative to one another.
