Step 1
Before starting, lay out all parts to your mount and match them to the
parts list provided. Verify that you have all your parts before attempt-
ing to assemble the mount.
Step 2
Lay the ceiling plate onto the ceiling grid so the lips of the ceil-
ing plate rest on top of the ceiling runners. Tighten adjustable screws
to hold the plate in place. Slide the carriage into the desired
position and use the ¼” – 20UNC screws , washers , and nuts
to secure the carriage in place.
Step 3
The next steps are for those who are going to use either the near
flush pipe or 1.5” NPT pipe for installation of the mount. Those
who wish to use the mast provided with the mount proceed to step
7. Mark and cut a 2.25” hole where you desire the near flush pipe
or 1.5” NPT pipe to come down. Insert the near flush pipe or
1.5” NPT pipe through the ceiling tile and into the carriage . Use
a brake screw in the bottom threaded hole of the carriage to
secure the near flush pipe or 1.5” NPT pipe.
Step 4

Step 5
Insert the turnbuckles into the ceiling plate . Make sure to use
the sets of four holes in each corner of the ceiling plate and not the
center hole on each side. If necessary use the wood screw eyebolt
or concrete anchor to provide tie wire anchor points. To
use the tie wire cut the provided wire into four equal pieces.
Then insert one piece through each turnbuckle and twist the wire at
least four times itself. Attach the other end of each piece of wire to
the eyebolts, concrete anchors, or ceiling truss again making sure
the wire is twisted around itself at least four times. Note: If the dis-
tance between the ceiling grid and wherever you’re attaching the
tie wires is longer than 3 feet then you will require more tie wire (12
gauge steel tie wire).
Step 6
Attach the escutcheon ring to the near flush pipe or 1.5”
NPT pipe. Attach the female pipe couple , , and to the
near flush pipe or 1.5” NPT pipe. Use the ¼” – 20UNC brake screw
to secure the top of the couple from turning on the near
flush pipe or 1.5” NPT pipe.
Please verify that all nuts and screws are tight.
Step 7
Attach the top of the ceiling mast (usually called the ceiling plate
in the instructions) to the adaptor plate . For the masts with a
cable channel make sure to nest the cable channel in the depres-
sion cut out in the adaptor plate. Secure the two together with 3/8”
– 16UNC screw , washers , and hex nuts .
Step 6: Attaching the female
pipe couple to the near flush
pipe or 1.5” NPT pipe
Step 7: Attaching the upper mast

Step 8
Placetheescutcheonringadaptor ontopoftheceilingtileand
trace around the outside of the adaptor. Then proceed to cut just
inside the circle drawn. Insert the adaptor into the hole making sure
you have a tight fit, and the wider top is on top of the ceiling tile. If
necessary widen the hole slightly to fit in the adaptor. Insert the top
of the ceiling mast through the hole in the ceiling tile. Attach the
adaptor plate to the carriage and use the ¼” – 20UNC brake
screw to secure the adaptor plate from turning.
Step 9
Insert the turnbuckles into the ceiling plate . Make sure to use
the sets of four holes in each corner of the ceiling plate and not the
center hole on each side. If necessary use the wood screw eyebolt
or concrete anchor to provide tie wire anchor points. To
use the tie wire cut the provided wire into four equal pieces.
Then insert one piece through each turnbuckle and twist the wire at
least four times itself. Attach the other end of each piece of wire to
the eyebolts, concrete anchors, or ceiling truss again making sure
the wire is twisted around itself at least four times. The ceiling plate
should be completely supported by the tie wires. Note: If the dis-
tance between the ceiling grid and wherever you’re attaching the
tie wires is longer than 3 feet then you will require more tie wire (12
gauge steel tie wire).
Step 10
Attach the lower mast and rest of the mount to the upper mast us-
ing the appropriate through bolt and nut for that mount. Attach
the escutcheon ring onto the escutcheon ring adaptor .
Please verify that all nuts and screws are securely tightened.
