Chief WM220MAUS Ultra Short Throw and Universal Projector Mount Kit (Dual Stud)

Overview

The Chief WM220MAUS is a dual-stud mounting kit designed to securely install ultra-short throw (UST) projectors. This mount addresses the specific needs of UST projectors, which require precise positioning close to the mounting surface. It provides a stable platform for ceiling or wall installations, ensuring the projector remains fixed and aligned for optimal image projection in conference rooms, classrooms, or auditoriums. The WM220MAUS model is engineered for robust support and straightforward integration into AV setups.

Compatibility

This mount kit is specifically designed for use with Chief's line of ultra-short throw projector mounts. It is compatible with projectors that meet certain weight and mounting pattern specifications, typically those with a 3-hole or 4-hole mounting pattern and weighing up to 50 lbs (22.7 kg). Consult Chief's compatibility charts for exact projector model verification, as UST projector dimensions and mounting interfaces vary significantly. It is intended for use with specific Chief mount models that accept this adapter plate, such as certain Meteor series mounts.

Installation Notes

Installation requires mounting to dual wall studs for maximum stability, with a maximum on-center stud spacing of 24 inches. Ensure studs are structurally sound and capable of supporting the combined weight of the projector and mount. Use of a stud finder and a level is critical for proper alignment. Torque specifications for mounting screws should be followed as per the Chief installation guide to prevent over-tightening or insufficient securing. Tools required typically include a drill, stud finder, level, and appropriate wrenches or screwdrivers.
