FOR THE STYLE AB2 BRACKET
Adjustment
Wing Screw
1. Move the center gate assembly of the Style AB2 Bracket to the desired location.
Using a T25 drive bit, loosen the adjustment wing screw, then push open the center
gate assembly. The center gate assembly may be rotated on the square bar for ease of
installation. For vertical adjustment, rotate the center gate assembly on the square bar so
that the adjustment wing screw is facing downward. Slide the sprinkler reducing nipple
into the center gate assembly.
NOTE: The adjustment wing screw of the center gate assembly is staked to resist
removal.
2. Close the gate around the sprinkler reducing nipple. The gate will snap together tightly
around the sprinkler reducing nipple. Using a T25 drive bit, tighten the adjustment wing
screw to a torque of 75 inch-lbs/8.5 N•m (until adjustment wing screw makes metal-
to-metal contact with bottom of gate). NOTE: The sprinkler reducing nipple can be
adjusted after the drywall is installed by using the adjustment wing screw on the center
gate assembly (adjustment wing screw must be facing downward to make this vertical
adjustment).
