Universal Panel Ceiling Mount - Structural Ceiling Plate sold separately

The Peerless-AV SmartMount PLCM-UNL is an indoor ceiling-mount system for flat-panel displays from 32 to 90 inches and weighing up to 150 lb. It supports landscape or portrait orientation and display mounting patterns up to 600 x 400 mm. The package combines a PLP-UNL universal I-shaped adapter, PLCM-2 tilt box, and EXT103 36-inch fixed-length 1.5-inch NPT extension column. A structural ceiling plate is sold separately.

Ideal Use Cases

The PLCM-UNL is designed for ceiling-mounted display installations in indoor environments where wall mounting is unavailable or unsuitable. Listed applications include airports, lobbies, retail spaces, and rooms requiring an elevated flat-panel display. Compatibility with screens from 32 to 90 inches provides flexibility across a broad range of display sizes, while landscape and portrait support accommodates conventional video presentation as well as vertically oriented signage. Its 36-inch drop positions the display below the mounting surface for installations requiring a fixed extension from the ceiling.

Why Choose This Model

This model combines the primary display-side mounting components into one package. The universal I-shaped adapter supports mounting patterns up to 600 x 400 mm, while the tilt box provides an adjustable viewing angle. The included 1.5-inch NPT threaded column supplies a standardized connection format that can be customized for the application through compatible 1.5-inch NPT components. The mount also includes swivel, cable-management, and adjustment functions. Its maximum supported display weight is 150 lb, and the complete mount weighs approximately 22.80 lb.

Installation and Integration

The PLCM-UNL is ceiling mountable and requires assembly. Package contents include the universal ceiling mount, EXT103 extension column, PLCM-2 tilt box, PLP-UNL universal I-shaped adapter, mounting hardware, and installation instructions. The fixed-length column provides a 36-inch drop and uses a 1.5-inch NPT threaded connection. A structural ceiling plate is not included; the source data identifies the Peerless-AV CMJ470 ceiling plate for use with the corresponding PLCM-UNL-CP configuration.

Before installation, confirm that the display measures between 32 and 90 inches, weighs no more than 150 lb, and uses a mounting pattern no larger than 600 x 400 mm. The assembled product dimensions are 43.23 inches high, 24.38 inches wide, and 4.03 inches deep. The mount can then be configured for landscape or portrait display orientation, with integrated cable management helping route connected display cables through the installation.

What Makes It Different

Rather than supplying only a display adapter or tilt mechanism, the PLCM-UNL packages the PLP-UNL adapter, PLCM-2 tilt box, and EXT103 fixed column together. This combination establishes the display connection, viewing-angle adjustment, and 36-inch ceiling drop in one specified configuration. Its 1.5-inch NPT format also provides a defined interface for adapting the installation with compatible threaded components. The product is VESA compatible, UL Listed, TAA compliant, and identified as compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements. It is manufactured in the United States and carries a five-year limited warranty.

Final Assessment

The Peerless-AV PLCM-UNL is suited to indoor installations requiring a fixed 36-inch ceiling drop for a 32- to 90-inch flat-panel display. Its 150 lb capacity, 600 x 400 mm pattern support, landscape or portrait positioning, tilt and swivel functions, cable management, and included mounting components define a versatile display-side mounting package. Installation requires assembly and a separately purchased structural ceiling plate.
