A fire suppression method and apparatus has a wall bracket which is installable to one side of a wall. The wall bracket is configured with a plurality of openings such that multiple locations for the sprinkler head may be used and the precise installation of the sprinkler head within the wall can be accomplished with a wide variety of wall constructions and sprinkler heads. The wall bracket is attachable to support members, such as wall studs, within the wall and is laterally movable between them in a generally horizontal direction. A pair of wall clips are used to secure the wall bracket to the wall studs. A pipe clamp is provided which is insertable within the bracket to retain a pipe nipple within it. The pipe nipple is adjustable relative to the wall surface to move it inwardly and outwardly relative to the wall. In this fashion, the horizontal location of the sprinkler head can be adjusted depending upon the depth of the wall and the style of sprinkler head used. The pipe nipple is attached to a flexible armover connector which allows for an almost infinite number of locations that can be used to connect the pipe nipple to the supply line of the fire suppression system.
