Chief CMS018W Fixed Extension Column White
Overview
The Chief CMS018W is an 18-inch fixed extension column designed to provide additional reach for ceiling or wall-mounted surveillance equipment. This column is intended for installations where the standard mount height is insufficient, allowing for precise positioning of cameras or other devices in commercial or industrial environments. Its white finish ensures a clean aesthetic integration with most ceiling tiles and wall surfaces. The CMS018W model number is key for identifying this specific length and color option.
Compatibility
This extension column is compatible with Chief's modular mount systems, including the CMA, RPA, and LSA series projector and display mounts, as well as specific ceiling mount systems. It is designed to interface with standard 1.5-inch NPT threaded extension pipes, common in professional AV and security installations. Always verify compatibility with your specific Chief mount model or consult the Chief catalog for detailed integration charts before deployment.
Installation Notes
The CMS018W requires a secure mounting point, typically a Chief ceiling mount bracket or a robust structural support. It threads directly onto compatible Chief mounts or extension pipes. Ensure the total weight of the mounted equipment, including the column itself, does not exceed the weight rating of the primary mounting system and the structural support. A Prop 65 warning regarding reproductive harm applies to this product.
