Locate the center of the ceiling tile marking, align the offset screw with that marking for true center of tile installation. Insert one bracket leg at a time, applying a downward pressure on the bracket leg and T-Bar. Place the second leg on the T-Bar and repeat process. (Fig. ) Fig. 2FlexHead Flexible Hose Installation A. For threaded fitting branch connection: Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the " NPT thread. Install into branch outlet. Tigthen the hose using the pipe section, never apply a wrench to the braided hose when installing. B. For groove connection follow the grooved coupling manufacturer's installation instructions. C. For SLT connection follow Gruvlok installation instructions, Fig 7074SLT SlideLOK Ready for Installation Cap & Fitting Instructions. The FlexHead connection can be installed in any direction from the branch. Ensure the hose is allowed at least one bend per installation to allow for seismic movement. (See fiction Loss Chart on Page for details) Fig. 2 Do not wrench on braided hose
ADO Bracket Installation Maneuver the flexible sprinkler drop from the branch to the ADO bracket. Review that the hose length, number of bends, and bend radius are applicable for the installation per NFPA guidelines. (See corresponding hose submittal for installation information.) Fig. a The ADO bracket has an open hub for Fig. b ease of installation. Open the hinge apparatus by turning the locking shaft ¼ turn. Slide the flexible hose drop into the hub. Ensure the drop is vertical, and the SS Flexible hose is not applying a substantial moment on the bracket causing sprinkler misalignment. Latch the hinge door closed and adjust the sprinkler drop for desired ceiling height. Tighten the set screw till hand tight plus 4" turn, (0 in-lbs).

Secure the Flexhead Sprinkler Drop to MPT Bracket Maneuver the flexible sprinkler drop from the branch to the MPT bracket. Review that the hose length, number of bends, and bend radius are applicable for the installation per NFPA guidelines. (See corresponding hose submittal for installation information.) The MPT bracket has an open hub for ease of installation. Open the hinge apparatus by turning the locking shaft ¼ turn. Slide the flexible hose drop into the hub. Ensure the drop is vertical, and the SS Flexible hose is not applying a substantial moment on the bracket causing sprinkler misalignment. Latch the hinge door close and adjust the sprinkler drop for desired ceiling height. Tightening the set screw till hand tight plus two full revolutions, (0 in-lbs). (Fig. a and b) Install desired sprinkler head, per the manufacturer's installation instructions. 4Ceiling Tile Installation The flexible sprinkler drop system with MPT Bracket is able to be installed prior to the ceiling tile installation, preventing the need for sprinkler contractor tile adjustment. For ease of tile installation, cut the largest sprinkler hole recommended by the manufacturer. The largest hole that is still covered by the sprinkler escutcheon allows for an easier install. Angle the tile at 45 degrees and push the tile through the hole and up above the ceiling T-bar, maneuver the tile and allow it to drop in the proper location.
