Additional benefits of utilizing the VicFlex Style AB6 Bracket include: 

    -- Easy indication of vertical and frame arm alignment from above 
    -- No measuring, cutting or multiple trips to the cooler 
    -- Combats differential movement due to vibration or physical stress on 
       the cooler 
    -- Eliminates foam or glue curing time and condensation concerns 
    -- Fits any ceiling or wall thickness while sealing to a variety of 
       surfaces such as corrugated or dimpled 
    -- Interchangeable escutcheons facilitate same-day retrofit and service 
       work while consolidating the amount of sku's to order and stock

Tim Voller, Journeyman for Breth-Zensen Fire Protection and a Victaulic 
customer said, "Victaulic makes our job faster and easier. We used to install 
two dry cooler heads in an hour, with two guys cutting all of the hard pipe and 
getting them to line up. Now with the new VicFlex Style AB6 Bracket, we can 
install 20-25 dry cooler heads in an hour. We can flex all the heads right into 
their holes so they line up nicely, and we no longer have to deal with the 
spray foam mess. Installations are super simple, and there are fewer parts to 
lose."  

Chris Kvistad, Product Manager - VicFlex of Victaulic said, "The VicFlex Style 
AB6 Bracket offers our customers an off-the-truck solution for cold storage 
applications that reduces the risk of condensation impeding the system. 
Compatible with multiple combinations of Victaulic dry sprinkler styles and 
flexible hoses, installers can work smarter, not harder." 

Optimized for cold storage applications, the VicFlex Style AB6 Bracket is 
available with pendent, concealed and horizontal sidewall deflector styles and 
available pendent interchangeable escutcheons include: recessed, sleeve and 
skirt, and flush. The maximum working pressure is rated at 175 psi/1375 kPa.
