The Chief CMS012 is a 12-inch fixed-length extension column that sets a consistent drop between a ceiling plate or adapter and a Chief projector or flat panel ceiling mount. When the required distance is known, a fixed column keeps the install simple: one piece of pipe with standard 1-1/2 inch NPT threads at each end, which must engage at least four full threads into the plate or adapter. Chief rates CMS columns to a 500 lb combined load, limited by the lowest-rated component and by the structure above. Columns 9 inches and longer include a cable access opening that can be rotated so wiring leaves the pole just below the ceiling plate. The black finish matches black Chief mounts and darker ceilings. Pair with a Chief decorative ring for a finished look at the ceiling.
