Abstract: A fire suppression method and apparatus has a wall bracket which is installable to one side of a wall. The wall bracket is configured with a plurality of openings such that multiple locations for the sprinkler head may be used and the precise installation of the sprinkler head within the wall can be accomplished with a wide variety of wall constructions and sprinkler heads. The wall bracket is attachable to support members, such as wall studs, within the wall and is laterally movable between them in a generally horizontal direction. A pair of wall clips are used to secure the wall bracket to the wall studs. A pipe clamp is provided which is insertable within the bracket to retain a pipe nipple within it. The pipe nipple is adjustable relative to the wall surface to move it inwardly and outwardly relative to the wall. In this fashion, the horizontal location of the sprinkler head can be adjusted depending upon the depth of the wall and the style of sprinkler head used.

Abstract: A fire suppression method and apparatus has a sprinkler head support bracket which is installable immediately above a ceiling tile. The support bracket is configured with a plurality of openings such that multiple locations for the sprinkler head may be used and the exact "center of tile" installation of the sprinkler head can be accomplished with a wide variety of suspended ceiling assemblies and sprinkler heads. The support bracket rests on grid support members and arches over the ceiling tile. Hold down clips are provided to maintain the bracket in position relative to the grid support members. A pipe clamp is provided which is insertable within the bracket to retain a drop nipple within it. The drop nipple is adjustable relative to the horizontal to move it upwardly or downwardly relative to the ceiling tile. In this fashion, the vertical location of the sprinkler head can be adjusted depending upon the elevation of the ceiling tiles used and the style of sprinkler head used.
