PIPE BRACKET FOR VEHICLE BATTERY ASSEMBLY

A pipe bracket for a battery assembly of a vehicle defining a first axis, a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and a third axis perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis includes a pipe securing structure including a pipe enclosure defining a pipe aperture configured to have a pipe pass therethrough along the first axis to secure the pipe within the pipe enclosure, and a bracket base configured to be attached to a component of a battery assembly. The bracket base includes a fragile structure that is weaker than portions of the bracket base adjacent thereto and that is configured to bend or break when a force in a direction along the second axis is received by the pipe securing structure.
