Minerallac is a maker's name used for conduit hangers: a formed steel band that wraps the conduit, with a bolt through its tabs and a hole for threaded rod or a screw. It suspends single runs of EMT or rigid from all-thread, or holds pipe tight to steel and strut, and it is the quick choice when a run is too small to justify a trapeze.
Hang that one-inch run on minerallacs off three-eighths rod every eight feet, it doesn't need a trapeze.
