QualGearQG-PRO-PM-3FT-W Pro-AV 1.5" Npt Threaded Pipe, 3' Length Projector Accessory

Just got my 2ft QualGear extension to replace a 1ft Omnimount extension. Expected this to be a simple switch. Not so: the QualGear extension tube I received is described as "NPT-compatible", but it does not follow NPT standards, in that it is not tapered. NPT standard dictates a 1-in-16 taper on the threaded part (male ends are narrower, female ends are wider). The diameter and the threading pitch do match, so you can start threading the extension pipe into an NPT coupling, but it will block after too few turns, because the internal diameter of the NPT female coupling decreases as the male end goes in deeper. The result: the extension does not fit properly (it's loose in terms of angle, because it's a straight piece jammed inside a cone, so it has some angular freedom) and cannot be fixed into place with the coupling's set screw (because it does not go in deep enough).Too bad, as the tube seems to be high quality, with a handy cap over the old-fashioned (for large plugs) huge opening common in most such pipes. I'd have been happy to use it, but it cannot be used with the two NPT couplings of my Omnimount holder, so I am going to have to return it.

Good replacement for a Chief pipe, didn't have any problem with the taper on mine.Pay attention to the description details; this is not a 3" long threaded pipe like the Chief CMS003!This has a 3" neck with 1" of threaded pipe on either side for a length of 5". This adds 3" of extension instead of 1".

All mounts are not created equal! I was very impressed with the design as well as the build quality of the mount. My previous setup used a Chief mount extension, which did not have the level of finish and fit of the QualGear mount. Excellent powder coating finish, packed well for shipping and the removable plastic cable access port is very well engineered. Definitely will look for QualGear products for my next installation.

The price was so good, I was afraid of getting a "you get what you paid for" product. I needed this to extend off of an existing "big name" A/V branded pole. I was excited when I found this, yet, in all transparency, I expected a thin, soft aluminum pipe that would make me wonder about the integrity of my project. However, I was COMPLETELY wrong! I ordered this extension as well as the suggested coupling. The material is solid! Well made and NOT a thin, soft aluminum. - Completely satisfied with this product and will continue to buy QualGear accessories!

This is great if you want a quality pipe that you know is going to fit and look great with your mount. I needed to extend how far my projector was from the ceiling and this was the perfect length for me. It matches the rest of the mount so it looks great and also came pre-greased so it went on smooth. I would definitely recommend this over some generic pipe which I couldn't even find an equivalent at Home Depot. If you need to extend your mount, do yourself a favor and get this!

This was exactly what we needed for mounting our new projector. Works great and holds a hefty projector pretty well. Seems strudy and looks great.

Strong enough to hold Epson 4010 projector

Well engineered extension pipe. It has a nice powder coat finish, an opening for routing cables (with cap if you don't need it) and greased threading so you can install without resistance. They also provide a color manual with well written instructions which is a rarity these days.

Like the cable management and powder coated finish but had to give low score due to the 1 1/2" pipe thread not being fully threaded so would not screw into adjacent fittings. Was committed to completing the installation so had to rent a 1 1/2" pipe tapping tool to get it to fit.

Happy with product. Good quality.
