First Claim
1. In a pipeline system having a riser pipe and an upright tracer wire conduit projecting upward from ground proximate said riser pipe, a support bracket fastened to an above grade flange on the riser pipe that projects radially outward relative to a smaller-diameter unflanged portion of the riser pipe located below said above grade flange, the bracket comprising a first hole through which the bracket is bolted to the above grade flange on the riser pipe and a second hole around which the bracket and the tracer wire conduit are fitted together to support the tracer wire conduit in an upright position proximate the riser pipe.

Abstract
A support bracket for an upright tracer wire conduit proximate a pipeline riser with an above grade flange having bolt holes for receipt of mounting bolts. The bracket has a first hole sized to accommodate the mounting bolt shank diameter and a second hole spaced from the first hole and sized to accommodate a diameter of said upright tracer wire conduit. The bracket is thereby arranged for fastening to the above grade flange of the pipeline riser through alignment of the first hole of the bracket with one of the bolt holes of the above grade flange and fastening of the mounting bolt through said aligned holes in order to support the tracer wire conduit in an upright position extending through the second hole. A surface of the bracket facing away from the holes presents a label carrying area of the bracket for displaying identifying information concerning the pipeline or riser.
