  • Patent number: 10561873
    Abstract: A fire sprinkler support assembly is provided. In some approaches, the fire sprinkler support assembly may include a bracket bar extending transverse to a beam, and a bracket assembly coupled to the bracket bar. The bracket assembly may include an upper wall and a set of plates extending from the upper wall, wherein the set of plates have a first end coupled to the bracket bar. An interior angle between the set of plates and the bracket bar is less than 90 degrees (e.g., 80-85°). The bracket assembly may further include a seating frame extending from a second end of the set of plates, the seating frame including a first member and a second member disposed on opposite sides of the beam. The fire sprinkler support assembly may further include a fastener extending through an opening of the upper wall to couple the set of plates to the bracket bar.
