Chief KIT RPAU CMA455 CMS012018 - KITPB012018
Product Overview
The Chief KITPB012018 is a preconfigured projector ceiling mount kit for suspended-ceiling installations that require an adjustable drop distance. It bundles a universal projector ceiling mount, a suspended ceiling plate, and a 12-to-18-inch adjustable extension column into a single part number. The kit is built for classrooms, conference rooms, and training rooms where a projector must hang at a precise height below a drop ceiling.
Product Description
The KITPB012018 packages the core components of a suspended-ceiling projector mount with an adjustable column for flexible drop height. 
The kit includes the RPAU universal projector ceiling mount, the CMA455 suspended ceiling plate, and the CMS012018 adjustable extension column that spans 12 to 18 inches. The CMA455 plate anchors the assembly to the suspended ceiling structure, while the RPAU universal mount provides broad projector compatibility. The CMS012018 column lets the installer dial in the exact drop distance within its 12-to-18-inch range, which is useful for matching throw distance and image geometry in rooms with varying ceiling heights. Ordering the components as a single kit reduces specification errors and speeds installation across multiple rooms. It is a practical choice for education and commercial environments standardizing on an adjustable-height projector mounting solution.
