Abstract
A bracket for securing fire sprinkler line piping is provided which includes a center panel with attached first and second side flaps positioned at approximately 90 degrees to the center panel. The bracket is insertable between the sidewalls of a ceiling track and sprinkler line pipe is engaged into the pipe guide by using a swivel ring on a threaded rod. Once engaged, the bracket prevents lateral movement of the sprinkler line pipe relative to the ceiling track.

A bracket for securing fire sprinkler line piping, said bracket including:
- a center panel;
- a first side flap attached to a first side of said center panel, wherein said first slide flap is positioned at an angle of approximately 90 degrees from said center panel;
- a second side flap attached to a second side of said center panel, wherein said second slide flap is positioned at an angle of approximately 90 degrees from said center panel;
- and
