The Chief CMA443 bundles Chief's CMA440 Above Tile Suspended Ceiling Kit with a CMS003 3-inch fixed pipe, giving you the plate, support hardware and a short column in a single order. The 24.4 by 8 inch plate sits on top of the ceiling grid and clamps to the tracks, so only a small hole in the tile is needed for the column to pass through.
To carry the load back to the building structure, the kit includes a 10 ft safety cable, 20 ft of strand wire, four turnbuckles, wood eye bolts and concrete anchors, plus a chrome trim ring to finish the tile opening. Two outlet knockouts allow you to add power or low-voltage boxes above the tile. Assembly is minimal. Chief rates the system at 50 lbs total, and that figure includes the column, projector mount and projector, so it is intended for lightweight classroom and meeting-room projectors. The CMS003 column provides a short, fixed 3-inch drop.
