Pin Connection Column 48 Inch (121.9 cm)-CPA048
48 inch (121.9 cm) black extension column for Chief ceiling plates, 500 lbs capacity, TAA compliant
The CPA048 is a 48 inch (121.9 cm) extension column designed for use within the Chief Pin Connection column system. This black accessory provides a 3 ft (0.9 m) extension to customize the height of ceiling-mounted installations. It features a dual pin connection where fasteners are secured into factory pre-drilled holes at each column end using two thread-forming screws. Unlike standard fasteners, these do not pass completely through the center of the column, which maintains a clear path for cable pass-through. The column's outer surface includes integrated grooves that serve as drill guides and provide a professional aesthetic. For custom requirements, this column can be re-drilled, cut to a specific length, or threaded to 1.5" NPT. It is UL Listed and TAA compliant.
