The Chief CMS009012 is an adjustable extension column that sets the drop between a ceiling plate or adapter and a Chief projector or display mount anywhere from 9 to 12 inches. Two telescoping tubes, a 2.3-inch outer column over a smaller inner column, let the installer fine-tune height on site instead of ordering an exact length. Length is locked with a screw through either of two adjustment holes for 1-inch steps or through a locking slot for 2-inch steps, then secured with set screws; both standard and security set screws are supplied. Each end uses standard 1-1/2 inch NPT threads, which must engage at least four full threads into the plate or adapter. Chief rates CMS columns to 500 lbs combined load, limited by the lowest-rated component and the supporting structure. A cable access opening on the inner column can be rotated so wiring exits below the ceiling plate. The black finish blends with black Chief mounts and open or dark ceilings.
