Chief CMA440 Above Tile Suspended Ceiling Kit

Overview

The Chief CMA440 is an above-tile suspended ceiling kit designed to provide a secure and stable mounting point for projectors or displays when traditional ceiling mounting is not feasible. This kit is engineered for installations where a standard ceiling tile needs to be bypassed, allowing for direct attachment to the building's structure above. The CMA440 is specifically built for commercial environments requiring robust support for AV equipment.

Compatibility

This kit is compatible with Chief's projector mounts and display mounts that utilize a standard 1.5' NPT interface. It is designed to work with suspended ceiling grids and can be used with various projector models from brands like Epson, BenQ, and Optoma, as well as flat panel display mounts from Chief's extensive catalog, provided they use the 1.5' NPT connection. Verify your specific mount's interface before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation requires access to the plenum space above the suspended ceiling grid. The CMA440 attaches directly to structural members (joists, beams) or uses appropriate seismic bracing (sold separately) for secure mounting. Ensure all connections are torqued to manufacturer specifications to maintain structural integrity and safety. A standard 2' x 2' ceiling tile opening is typically required for access and integration.
