Chief 5" Designer Ceiling Plate with 1-1/2" NPT Opening (Black)

The Chief CMA101 is a 5 inch designer ceiling plate created for anyone who needs a solid and discreet mounting point for projectors, flat-panel displays, or other ceiling-hung equipment. Despite weighing just 0.9 lbs, it is engineered to carry up to 500 lbs, giving professional installers and serious DIY users a dependable anchor overhead.

The plate accepts any standard 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded column. Slide the pipe into the opening, tighten the included set screw, and the connection stays locked without wobble or drift. A black finish helps the plate blend into finished ceilings, so the focus stays on the equipment rather than the hardware.

Installation adapts to the space instead of forcing the space to adapt to the hardware. The CMA101 can secure directly to wood joists in a home theater, anchor into concrete above a classroom, or attach to Unistrut channels in a commercial environment. Wherever it is used, the plate supplies a stable, low-profile foundation for the rest of the mount.

This versatility makes the CMA101 a staple for AV contractors, facility managers, and anyone setting up projectors or displays in conference rooms, lecture halls, retail spaces, and home theaters. It installs quickly, disappears visually, and holds firm for the long term.
