Product Overview
The Chief KITPS012C is a preconfigured projector ceiling mount kit that bundles a universal projector mount, fixed extension column, in-ceiling storage enclosure, and suspended ceiling kit into one part number. It is designed for conference rooms, classrooms, and commercial meeting spaces that need a complete suspended-ceiling projector installation without sourcing components separately. Bundling these parts simplifies ordering, specification, and installation.
Product Description

The KITPS012C combines four Chief components for a clean suspended-ceiling projector installation: the RPAU universal projector mount, the CMS012 fixed extension column, the CMA170 in-ceiling storage enclosure, and the CMS440 suspended ceiling kit. The RPAU ships with Chief's SLB universal bracket, which fits most inverted projectors on the market and provides independent roll, pitch, and yaw adjustment for quick, precise image registration. Quick projector connect and disconnect simplifies lamp and filter access on most projectors, and the mount maintains registration when disconnected so preset adjustments are preserved during service. Chief's All-Points Security Systems hardware provides steel-into-steel locking at all connection points to protect against theft. The mount offers multiple installation options: flush to the ceiling, on a 0.25" threaded rod, or on a 1.5" NPT threaded extension column. Integrated cable management routes cabling through the top of the mount without additional accessories. The included CMA170 enclosure conceals AV equipment above the ceiling line, while the CMS440 suspended ceiling kit and CMS012 column complete the structural drop.
