4. The fire sprinkler support assembly of claim 2 , wherein the first and second ends of the second plate are disposed on opposite sides of the beam.

5. The fire sprinkler assembly of claim 2 , wherein the second end of the first plate is coupled to the beam.

6. The fire sprinkler support assembly of claim 5 , wherein the seating frame further comprises a third member, and the second member and the third member are disposed on a same side of the beam.

7. The fire sprinkler support assembly of claim 6 , wherein the second end of the second plate extends between the second and third members of the seating frame.

8. The fire sprinkler support assembly of claim 2 , further comprising 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.

9. The fire sprinkler support assembly of claim 8 , wherein each of the first member and the second member including a free end and an attached end, wherein the attached end is coupled to the second end of the first plate.

10. The fire sprinkler support assembly of claim 9 , wherein each attached end comprises a bowed section extending laterally from the second end of the first plate, the bowed section configured to engage a rim of the beam.

11. The fire sprinkler support assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first end of the first plate includes a hanger member having pair of sidewalls connected by a top wall, and the bracket bar extends through the pair of sidewalls.

12. The fire sprinkler support assembly of claim 11 , wherein the bracket bar is secured to the hanger member by a second fastener.

13. The fire sprinkler support assembly of claim 1 , wherein;

the fastener is operable to adjust a distance between the first plate and the second plate; and

the first arm is connected to the second arm by a butt end.

14. A bracket assembly coupled to at least one end of a bracket bar, the bracket assembly comprising:

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;

a second plate actionable relative to the first plate, the second plate having first and second ends, wherein the first end of the second plate extends through a first opening in the first plate, and wherein the bracket bar extends transverse to a beam and the first and second ends of the second plate are configured to be disposed on opposite sides of the beam;

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, wherein the fastener is an anchor push spring lock; and

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.

15. The bracket assembly of claim 14 , the seating frame further comprising a third member, wherein the second member and the third member are disposed on a same side of the beam, and wherein the second end of the second plate extends between the second and third members of the seating frame.

16. The bracket assembly of claim 14 , the fastener operable to adjust a distance between the first plate and the second plate.

17. A fire sprinkler support assembly comprising:

a bracket bar configured to extend transverse to a pair of parallel beams of a ceiling grid; and

a bracket assembly coupled to at least one end of the bracket bar, the bracket assembly comprising:

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 one beam of the pair of parallel beams;

a second plate rotatable relative to the first plate, the second plate having first and second ends, wherein the first end of the second plate extends through a first opening in the first plate; and

a fastener coupling the first plate to the second plate, the fastener comprising a first arm and a second arm, the first and second arms extending through corresponding fastener openings in the first plate and the second plate.
