Abstract
A sprinkler mounting strut that secures an unrestrained pipe and a sprinkler together to engage a wall through which the sprinkler extends. The strut provides prongs and engagement portions that secure the strut to the edges of a hole extending through the wall. The strut provides a base against which a pipe abuts to secure the pipe to the wall. The sprinkler extends through an escutcheon and through the base of the strut to engage the pipe and draw the pipe and escutcheon towards each to secure the components to the surfaces of the wall.
