The Kidde 1170-000 Universal Adjustment Bracket lets you mount fire alarm detectors level on sloped, peaked, or angled ceilings. The swivel mechanism adjusts to match the ceiling pitch, keeping the detector oriented correctly for proper smoke and heat entry into the sensing chamber.
Built for the commercial installer
Covers applications where a standard flat-mount base won't cut it - cathedral ceilings, A-frames, stairwells, and any surface that isn't level. The bracket adjusts to the desired angle and locks in place for a secure, permanent installation. White finish blends with ceiling-mounted Kidde detectors.

What is the Kidde 1170-000 Universal Adjustment Bracket used for?
It provides level mounting for fire alarm detectors on sloped, peaked, or angled ceilings. The swivel mechanism adjusts to the ceiling pitch so the detector sits properly oriented for correct smoke and heat entry.
What Kidde detectors does this bracket work with?
The bracket is designed for use with Kidde conventional and intelligent detector bases. Check your specific detector's installation guide to confirm base compatibility.
Can this bracket be used on walls?
Yes. While the primary use case is angled ceilings, the swivel mechanism allows wall mounting where the detector needs to be angled away from the surface.
Does the bracket affect detector spacing or listing?
The bracket itself does not change the detector's listed spacing. Follow NFPA 72 guidelines for detector placement on sloped ceilings, which may differ from flat-ceiling spacing requirements. Consult the AHJ for site-specific requirements.
