Every tool owner already has a pipe clamp so only bend a small scrap of metal to connect the dots. I’m with you guys, this is an overkill.

If somebody was really slick they would make a spacer that hangs down off the pipe and falls between the two boards, to fixture an expansion/drain gap. Otherwise you would be tightening the clamp with one hand, and holding a spacer nail between the boards with the other. Yeah Waylan, I had a similar vision of scrap steel and a hole saw.

Even if I purchase a clamp, it's still less than half the price. Either way, it is an interesting solution to a real problem. Definitely something I'll file away for later reference.
