  • One-piece stainless steel flexible tube and reducer ready to mount to branch line;
  • One nipple which connects the flexible tubing to the branch line;
  • One square tube to hold the reducer above the ceiling tile;
  • Two ceiling grid clamps which connect the square tube to the ceiling grid;

mounting system
The rock-solid mounting system consists of two end clamps which fasten the mounting bar to the ceiling grid, and one reducer clamp to attach the reducer to the mounting bar
connecting nipple
A separate, threaded nipple which is not brazed onto the flexible drop tube allows the drop to be easily connected to the branch line without rotating the entire drop tube
sprinkler head reducer
The one-piece reducer is brazed onto the drop tube, not threaded. This leak-proof design eliminates the need to tighten the reducer during installation
