The Chief CMA395W Angled Ceiling Plate is built for projector installations under sloped, vaulted or cathedral ceilings. Bolting a standard flat plate to an inclined surface leaves the column and projector hanging off-vertical; this plate compensates for the slope so the extension column or mount drops straight down and the projector image stays square on the screen.Despite its small footprint of 4.4 by 3.4 by 7.5 inches, Chief rates the plate at 500 lbs, giving plenty of margin for a column,...

The Chief CMA440 is Chief's simplest and most economical way to hang a projector from a drop ceiling.

Two outlet knockouts...

The Chief CMA450 Suspended Ceiling Kit is a full-size 23.8-inch square plate that sits above a 2'x2' ceiling tile and clamps to the grid tracks. It handles much heavier projectors than Chief's narrow CMA440 kit while still installing from above the tile.Chief rates it for projectors up to 250 lbs when the column attaches through the center hole, or up to 125 lbs using the side or corner holes, which lets you offset the mounting point within the grid opening. The kit includes a safety cable,...

The Chief CMA455 Suspended Ceiling Tile Replacement Kit swaps out a standard 2'x2' acoustical tile for a full-size, load-rated steel panel. Because the panel itself becomes the visible ceiling surface, there is no tile to cut, and the column drops cleanly through a finished, white face.Chief rates it for projectors up to 250 lbs when the column attaches through the center hole, or up to 125 lbs using the side or corner holes, which lets you offset the mounting point within the grid opening....

Chief states the...

The Chief CMA472 is a low-profile, above-tile enclosure designed for larger but thinner AV equipment, such as wireless presentation receivers, extenders or small switchers, that need to live in the ceiling next to the projector. Instead of standing components on end, it lets them lie flat in a horizontal orientation, which suits shallow plenum spaces.At just 4.1 inches tall with a 12.5 by 12.0 inch footprint, the enclosure fits where taller boxes will not. Chief lists it as UL Listed and UL...

The Chief CMA473 Extra-Large Storage Box is the largest of Chief's above-tile enclosures for its CMA440 and CMS440 suspended ceiling kits. It installs directly over the column location on the kit, so cables can run from the stored equipment straight down through the column to the projector without being exposed in the room.The box keeps a low 4.8-inch profile while stretching to 23.24 inches long, and a flat removable lid simplifies access in tight plenum spaces. Multiple knockouts in two...

The Chief CMA502 Single Electric Outlet Coupler joins two sections of 1.5-inch NPT extension column and adds a single-gang electrical box right in the drop. That puts a power outlet, or a low-voltage termination point, exactly where the projector or ceiling-hung display needs it, without a separate box on the ceiling or a cord running across it.Because the box sits in-line with the column, high-voltage wiring can be pulled down inside the column and into the coupler for a clean, finished look....

The Chief CMA640W is a slim decorative ring that finishes off a projector or display ceiling column. It is sized with a 1.9-inch inside diameter, so it slides over a Chief CMS or CPA fixed-length extension column, or over the smaller inner tube of a CMS/CPA adjustable column, and sits flat against the ceiling plate or mount it threads into. The result is a clean transition that covers exposed pipe threads and the edge of the fitting. At 3.6 inches across and only 0.2 inch thick, the ring is...

The Chief CMA643 is a decorative ring made for the outer tube of a CMS adjustable extension column. Adjustable CMS columns telescope, with a larger outer column (2.3 inches across) sliding over a smaller inner column, and this ring is sized to fit around that larger outer tube. Slipped over the column before it is threaded into a ceiling plate or mount, the ring sits against the fitting and hides exposed threads for a tidy, finished appearance in rooms where the projector or display pole is in...

Inside is a 6 x 6 inch ceiling plate that fastens to the building structure and an adjustable extension column that drops the mount from 12 to 18 inches below the plate.
