2a. For center-of-tile installations,
align the end bracket with the center-
of-tile slot of the T-bar rail (with the
side facing the opening of the center
gate assembly), as shown to the left.
NOTE: For the UL Listing, when the
48-inch/1220-mm length VB2, VB3, or
VB4 Bracket is used with the VS1 (V35)
Flexible Dry Sprinkler, the maximum
spacing is 30-inches/762-mm.
2b. Apply light downward pressure, as
shown above, to maintain the position
of the end bracket flat against the T-bar
rail. To secure the end brackets to the
T-bar rails, tighten the pre-installed
sheet metal screws using a #2 recessed
square drive bit. Penetrate through the
T-bar rail until the end bracket is seated
fully against the T-bar rail. DO NOT over-
tighten the screws. Over-tightening will
cause the screw to strip, resulting in an
unsecured bracket connection.
