Peerless Solid-Point PLCM-2 Flat Panel Straight Column Mount Kit without Extention Column

The Peerless Solid-Point PLCM-2 Flat Panel Straight Column Mount Kit is built for clean, professional ceiling installations where a low-profile, secure mounting solution is essential. Designed to work with 1.5" NPT extension pipes for flexible height adjustments, this kit delivers a streamlined aesthetic without an extension column. It’s ideal for conference rooms, retail environments, corporate lobbies, and home theaters where reliability and a neat, unobtrusive mounting footprint matter as much as image quality. With Peerless-AV’s SmartMount lineage, the PLCM-2 combines robust construction, precise tilt capability, and straightforward installation to keep your display safely in the optimal viewing position, year after year.

Engineered for versatility, the PLCM-2 is purpose-built to support a wide range of flat-panel displays while maintaining a minimal silhouette. When paired with the appropriate 1.5" NPT extension pipes, you can adapt the mounting height to your space, ceiling structure, and audience seating arrangement without compromising the screen’s alignment. The straight column design reduces mounting depth and hardware clutter, helping you preserve sightlines and maintain a polished, professional environment.

Beyond its structural strengths, the PLCM-2 emphasizes ease of use. Installation is streamlined by a simplified mounting interface and standardized hardware compatible with typical ceiling grid systems. The tilt capability enables precise screen angling to accommodate varying seating layouts and lighting conditions, ensuring comfortable viewing angles from multiple positions. This kit is an excellent choice for installers seeking a dependable, repeatable mounting solution that delivers consistent performance across a broad range of displays and environments.

Durability and safety come standard with Peerless-AV. The PLCM-2 is constructed from rugged materials designed to hold heavy flat-panel displays securely while resisting the rigors of installation and daily use. The solid-point connection architecture minimizes wobble and flex, preserving image stability and reducing maintenance. For AV teams tasked with long-term reliability, this mount kit provides a durable backbone for high-traffic installations, while remaining adaptable to future panel upgrades or reconfigurations.

In addition to reliability, the PLCM-2 emphasizes compatibility and modularity. It is designed to work seamlessly with Peerless-AV’s AEC or similar mounting ecosystems, enabling cohesive integration with other ceiling-mounted components and display configurations. The absence of an extension column in this kit simplifies the installation footprint and reduces components to manage, while still allowing you to tailor the final height through compatible 1.5" NPT extension pipes. Whether you’re outfitting a single display in a showroom or deploying multiple screens in a control room, the PLCM-2 provides a consistent, scalable solution that supports clean cable management and a tidy, professional presentation.

How to install Peerless PLCM-2

Step 1: Plan and verify mounting location. Confirm ceiling structure can support the weight of the chosen display and confirm the desired viewing height with 1.5" NPT extension pipes if needed.

Step 2: Attach the PLCM-2 base to the ceiling. Use the appropriate hardware for your ceiling type (concrete, steel joists, or wood joists) and ensure the base is securely fastened and level.

Step 3: Assemble the straight column with the selected 1.5" NPT extension pipe to achieve the desired height. Check for proper threading and secure the pipe firmly to the base.

Step 4: Mount the flat-panel bracket to the back of the display using the standard VESA mounting pattern. Ensure the panel is evenly supported and balanced before attaching it to the PLCM-2 column.

Step 5: Attach the panel assembly to the PLCM-2 column, tighten all fasteners, and adjust tilt to the preferred viewing angle. Lock the tilt mechanism in place once the optimal position is reached, then perform a final check for stability and cable clearance.

Step 6: Route power and signal cables neatly, using cable management provisions on the mount to minimize clutter and reduce strain on connectors. Verify all connections and power up the system to confirm proper operation and alignment.
