Abstract of the Disclosure A vibration accommodating clamp for securing pipes which carry brake lines and the like to the underframe of railway cars. The clamp is initially mounted by placing a U- shaped bolt over the pipe and the legs, which are spaced from and offset with respect to the outside diameter of the pipe extend through holes in a mounting bracket. A collar is permanently secured on a grooved portion of one leg of the bolt. The second leg of the bolt which extends through a hole remains unused until it is necessary to remove the clamp. The clamp is removed by cutting off the collar and reapplied by placing a nut and washer on the threaded portion of the previously unused leg. In either case, the hole through which the unsecured leg extends has an inner peripheral surface radially spaced a predetermined distance from the unsecured leg thereby accommodating limited stress attenuating deflection of the unsecured leg. The unsecured leg is reactively engageable against the inner peripheral surface to abate excessive movement of the unsecured leg attendant to predetermined dynamic loading on the pipe during high speed rail operations thereby preventing substantial deflection of the unsecured leg from a generally perpendicular disposition relative to the plane of the bracket hole.
