Chief Projector Mt kt RPMAU CMS012018 CMS115 - KITQD012018

Product Overview

The Chief KITQD012018 is a complete projector ceiling mount kit engineered for commercial AV installations where reliability and adjustability are non-negotiable. This kit pairs the RPMAU Elite Universal Projector Mount with an adjustable extension column and a speed-connect ceiling plate, giving AV integrators everything needed to complete a professional overhead projector installation in a single order. Designed for conference rooms, training facilities, and multi-purpose spaces, the kit eliminates component guesswork and ensures verified compatibility across all three hardware elements. The keyed locking mechanism on the RPMAU mount adds a meaningful layer of physical security in shared or public-access environments.

Product Description

The KITQD012018 bundles three Chief components that are regularly specified together for overhead projector deployments. The centerpiece is the RPMAU Elite Universal Projector Mount, a commercial-grade universal mount engineered to accept a wide range of projector brands and body configurations. The “A version” designation indicates the inclusion of a keyed locking feature, which physically secures the projector to the mount and deters unauthorized removal—an important consideration in educational, corporate, and hospitality settings.

Extending from the ceiling plate to the RPMAU is the CMS012018 Adjustable Extension Column, which telescopes between 12 and 18 inches. This range of adjustment gives the installer control over the finished throw distance without requiring a custom-length pipe. The column is constructed to Chief’s commercial standards, ensuring a rigid, vibration-resistant connection between ceiling structure and projector.

The kit is completed by the CMS115 Speed-Connect Ceiling Plate, a 6-inch (152 mm) plate designed to simplify the connection between structural anchor and extension column. Speed-connect geometry reduces installation time by enabling the column to be attached and secured without threading or specialized tooling beyond standard fasteners. Together, the three components form a cohesive, fully specified overhead projector mounting solution available at Creation Networks.

Key Features

• RPMAU Elite Universal Projector Mount (Included) — Accepts a broad range of commercial projector makes and models, reducing the need for brand-specific mounting hardware on multi-brand deployments.
• Keyed Locking Mechanism (A Version) — Physically locks the projector to the mount with a keyed cylinder, providing active theft deterrence in shared, high-traffic, or public-access installations.
• CMS012018 Adjustable Extension Column (12–18”) — Telescoping column adjusts between 12 and 18 inches, allowing the installer to fine-tune the ceiling-to-projector drop without field-fabricating a custom-length extension.
• CMS115 Speed-Connect Ceiling Plate (6” / 152 mm) — Streamlines ceiling attachment with a speed-connect interface that reduces installation time compared to conventional threaded pipe assemblies.
• Verified Component Compatibility — All three kit components are factory-matched by Chief, eliminating the risk of thread-pitch mismatches or interface incompatibility that can occur when sourcing components individually.
• Commercial-Grade Construction — Each component is built to Chief’s commercial AV standards for load integrity, finish durability, and long-term performance in occupied spaces.
• Simplified Procurement — Single SKU procurement reduces purchase orders and shortens the equipment procurement cycle for integrators and facilities managers.

Typical Applications

• Corporate conference rooms requiring a secure, professional overhead projector installation
• Boardrooms where projector security and clean ceiling aesthetics are both priorities
• Training rooms with fixed projector positions and variable throw-distance requirements
• Educational classrooms and lecture halls where theft deterrence is specified
• Huddle rooms and small-group collaboration spaces using ceiling-mounted projection
• Multi-purpose rooms where a single projector serves rotating groups or departments
• Commercial meeting spaces managed by facilities teams requiring standardized hardware
