Abstract: Provided herein is a snap-to-grid bracket assembly for use with a fire suppression device. In one approach, a fire sprinkler support assembly includes a suspension frame coupled at an intersection of multiple (e.g., four) ceiling grid support elements, and a bracket assembly coupled to the suspension frame and to the plurality of ceiling grid support elements. The bracket assembly may include a main body coupled to the suspension frame, and a support arm extending laterally from the main body. The support arm may include seating members coupled a ceiling grid support element. The fire sprinkler support assembly may further include a sprinkler drop coupled to the support arm, the sprinkler drop and/or sprinkler head extending through the main body and into the suspension frame. The sprinkler support assembly may be a retrofit solution that couples to an existing suspension frame of a downlight fixture.

Abstract: Provided herein is a sprinkler system including a compact-design connector coupling a flexible conduit to a sprinkler body. In one approach a sprinkler assembly includes a t-joint connector, a sprinkler body (e.g., a dry-type pendent body) coupled to the t-joint connector at a first opening of the t-joint connector, and a flexible conduit coupled to the t-joint connector at a second opening of the t-joint coupling. The sprinkler assembly may further include an adjustable bracket coupling the sprinkler body to a building structure, such as a ceiling or wall. The t-joint connector eliminates the use of an elbow-type connection to a flexible hose, thus enabling use in a freezer/cooler application, while also reducing the overall footprint of the sprinkler assembly.
