transfer from the outside surface of the pipe 14 to the pipe hanger 10 and thus to the supporting surface and inhibit noise propogation from the pipe 14 through the pipe hanger 10 to a supporting surface additionally since the pipe hanger 10 and the projections 38 located thereon are preferredly made of a plastic material the combination of projections 38 and the spaces between the same allows for some cold flow of this material from the projections 38 when the pipe hanger 10 is squeezed tightly around the pipe 14 this makes for an intimate contact between the pipe 14 and the pipe hanger 10 furthermore the possibility of cold flow of the material of the projections 38 allows for securely abutting the first and second wall ends 32 and 34 to each other when the pipe 14 is located within the aperture 36 it is evident from the drawings that the second wall end 34 is what can be termed as 34 beefed up 34 that is to say a significant amount of the total mass of the pipe hanger 10 is located at this area when the pipe hanger 10 is installed as indicated below installation is normally accomplished with a hammer by incorporating additional material at the second wall end 34 as.
