SmartMount® Tilt Box - Stackable For up to 90" TV's

The Peerless-AV SmartMount PLCM-4 is a stackable ceiling-mount tilt box for indoor displays measuring up to 90 inches and weighing up to 150 lb. Its adjustable design combines forward tilt with full swivel movement, while compatibility with 1.5-inch NPT extension pipes supports customized ceiling-mount configurations. Cold rolled steel construction, a black powder-coated finish, and a compact 6.09-inch by 5.60-inch by 3.54-inch form factor make it a focused mounting component for pipe-based display installations.

Ideal Use Cases

The PLCM-4 is designed for indoor rooms where a display must be suspended from a ceiling and positioned for a specific viewing direction. It is suitable for installations involving screens up to 90 inches, provided the display does not exceed the stated 150 lb load capacity. Support for all 1.5-inch NPT extension pipes makes the tilt box applicable to pipe-based mounting arrangements with customized suspension lengths.

For custom ceiling-mount applications, the tilt box can be used with Peerless-AV AEC or EXT columns and PLP adaptor plates. Its combination of adjustable tilt and swivel is particularly relevant when the display must be aimed toward a defined viewing area rather than remain in a fixed orientation.

Why Choose This Model

The PLCM-4 brings the principal positioning functions into one compact ceiling-mount component. It provides a forward tilt range from -5 degrees to 20 degrees and swivels through 360 degrees. These adjustment ranges allow the installed display to be angled vertically and rotated around the mounting pipe to establish the required viewing position.

The model supports displays up to 90 inches and 150 lb while retaining compact physical dimensions. It is VESA mount compatible, with listed mounting patterns of 75 x 75 and 100 x 100. Its dedicated mount-pattern compatibility and stackable format make it a specialized choice for compatible Peerless-AV ceiling-mount configurations.

Installation and Integration

The SmartMount PLCM-4 works with all 1.5-inch NPT extension pipes. The threaded pipe interface allows the mount to be configured for the requirements of a particular application. Peerless-AV identifies AEC and EXT columns, together with PLP adaptor plates, as compatible components for custom ceiling-mount installations.

Assembly is required. The package includes one ceiling-mount tilt box, a stacking clamp, and installation instructions. Before installation, the display requirements should be compared with the model’s 90-inch maximum screen size, 150 lb maximum load, VESA compatibility, and listed 75 x 75 and 100 x 100 mounting patterns. The PLCM-4 is specified for indoor use and has a ceiling-mountable form factor.

Performance Highlights

• Supports displays measuring up to 90 inches.
• Handles a maximum display load of 150 lb.
• Provides -5-degree to 20-degree forward tilt adjustment.
• Offers a maximum swivel angle of 360 degrees.
• Works with all 1.5-inch NPT extension pipes.
• Supports adjustable tilt and swivel mount functions.
• Provides VESA compatibility with listed 75 x 75 and 100 x 100 patterns.

These capabilities give the installer both vertical-angle control and unrestricted rotational positioning within the stated swivel range. The result is a ceiling-mount component that can be adjusted around the needs of a compatible display and pipe-based installation.

What Makes It Different

The PLCM-4 combines a stackable design with an included stacking clamp, distinguishing it from a basic fixed ceiling attachment. Its support for standard 1.5-inch NPT extension pipes provides flexibility when selecting the appropriate pipe arrangement, while compatibility with Peerless-AV columns and adaptor plates supports broader custom configurations.

The enclosure is made from cold rolled steel and finished in black powder coating. It measures 6.09 inches high, 5.60 inches wide, and 3.54 inches deep. The product is manufactured in the United States, is TAA compliant, and carries RoHS and TAA certifications. Peerless-AV covers the PLCM-4 with a five-year limited warranty.

Final Assessment

The SmartMount PLCM-4 is a purpose-built option for indoor, pipe-mounted ceiling installations requiring adjustable positioning for a display up to 90 inches and 150 lb. Its -5-degree to 20-degree forward tilt, 360-degree swivel, 1.5-inch NPT compatibility, stackable configuration, and cold rolled steel construction define its role clearly. For compatible Peerless-AV custom mounting systems, it provides the tilt-box hardware, stacking clamp, and adjustment range needed to establish the intended viewing angle.
