Chief CMA472

Overview

The Chief CMA472 is an above-tile storage accessory designed to securely house equipment within suspended ceilings. Its compact enclosure measures 12.5 inches by 12 inches by 4.1 inches, making it ideal for spaces with limited depth while still accommodating wider devices in a horizontal layout. This accessory helps installers in conference rooms, classrooms, retail environments, and industrial sites keep equipment out of sight and reduce clutter at eye level, all while maintaining easy access for maintenance.

Built to meet safety and regulatory standards, the CMA472 is UL listed for use in air-handling spaces as defined by the National Electrical Code and complies with TAA requirements, making it suitable for government and federally funded projects. The white finish integrates seamlessly with most ceiling tiles, and compatibility with Chief CMA440 and CMS440 installation kits simplifies the mounting process for both new and existing setups.

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.
