The Chief CMS024 is a 24-inch (2-foot) fixed-length extension column in Chief's CMS series. It is the drop pipe that lowers a projector or flat panel mount from the structure above to the height you need, whether you are clearing a suspended ceiling, getting a projector into the correct throw position, or lining a display up with a sight line. Both ends carry standard 1-1/2-inch NPT threads, so the column screws into a Chief ceiling plate or structural adapter at the top and the mount's column fitting at the bottom. The column has a 1.9-inch outside diameter and Chief rates it for a combined load of 500 lbs, although the real limit is whichever component in the assembly is rated lowest. Because it is hollow, power and signal cables can run inside for a clean installation. The black finish matches Chief's black plates and mounts. If you need to fine-tune height on site, consider the telescoping CMS adjustable columns instead. Ceiling plate, adapter and mount are sold separately.
