Snap to grid bracket for a sprinkler support assembly

A fire sprinkler support assembly comprising:

• a bracket bar configured to extend transverse to a beam;
• a biased bracket assembly coupled to at least one end of the bracket bar, the biased bracket assembly including:
• a first plate oriented substantially perpendicular to the bracket bar, the first plate having a first end coupled to the bracket bar and a second end coupled to the beam;
• a seating frame extending from the second end of the first plate, the seating frame including a first member and a second member disposed on opposite sides of the beam such that the first member and the second member straddle the beam wherein the first member of the seating frame includes an opening;
• a second plate actionable relative to the first plate, the second plate having first and second ends disposed on a same side of the beam, and wherein the second end of the second plate extends through the opening of the first member;
• and
• a fastener coupling the first plate to the second plate, the fastener extending through corresponding fastener openings in the first plate and the second plate.
