Installation and setup

The CMS009W is designed for straightforward installation, threading directly into Chief ceiling plates or accessories thanks to its standard 1.5 inch NPT threading. Its lightweight aluminum build makes it easier to handle during mounting, while the internal cable pathway allows installers to route power and signal cables through the column, minimizing visible wiring and enhancing the overall appearance of the setup. This makes it a practical choice for both professional integrators and DIY users looking to improve their projector or display positioning efficiently.

Ideal uses and environments

This extension column works well in environments where the screen or projector is mounted too close to the ceiling, such as corporate conference rooms, retail digital signage installations, and home theater setups. It provides a simple solution to adjust viewing height without replacing existing mounts or performing complex modifications. Its high weight capacity and clean cable management also make it suitable for heavy and high-end equipment, ensuring a reliable and tidy installation.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
