Mounting Parking Signs to 1" Diameter Pipe

[SeanMMK]

Hi everybody!

I'm looking to mount some EV Parking signs to 1" conduit that feeds charging stations. I figured it would be easy to find normal sign mounting brackets for round posts, but I'm having trouble finding anything smaller than the standard 2-3/8" diameter pipe mounting brackets.

Is anybody aware of any hardware that would be suitable for mounting to very small pipe like this? We are mounting standard 12" x 18" aluminum parking signs with 3/8" holes top and bottom.

Thank you!

Conduit straps:

Yea Looks like conduit straps will be a good option for this. Thanks for the suggestion.
I also stumbled on these split ring mounts with threaded nuts while searching. I'll check out both of these and I'm sure one will work for what I need.

In my world, any signs near parking areas are 2" square steel sign posts.

1" conduit posts....

Keep reading that and try to figure out what is wrong with that

Yeah, conduit is not a post, so 1.5 sq ft of sign attached (presumably outside) would be a risk I wouldn't take.

Not sure you guys read the original post, but the conduit is existing and feeds EV charging stations and therefore is most likely well supported. If it's Ridgid conduit and not EMT it should be fine.

Hoping to clarify here. It's rigid conduit already existing inside a parking garage. The stations are installed centered in the parking spaces so instead of adding another post and base next to the station it would be much less crowded with a light aluminum EV parking sign right on the conduit.

Thank you Sean - that makes all the difference in the world to your question. You should have included the photo first.
My vote is "yes". just use the standard conduit clamps and call it a day. (you will have to drill the appropriate holes. I would wrap the area on the pipe under the clamp with black cloth friction tape to help hold it in place.
