Chief TS218SU

The Chief TS218SU is a medium THINSTALL dual swing arm wall display mount designed for flat panel displays from 26 to 47 inches. Purpose-built for professional AV environments such as conference rooms, corporate lobbies, hospitality venues, and digital signage installations, it combines an ultra-low profile collapsed depth with wide-ranging full-motion articulation. The mount folds to just 3,8 cm from the wall and extends to 45,7 cm, giving installers and end users true flexibility in positioning. With a 10-year limited warranty, UL listing, and compatibility with the TA502 in-wall accessory for zero-profile concealment, the TS218SU delivers a clean, professional result in virtually any fixed-wall scenario.

Ultra-Low Profile with Full Extension Range

The TS218SU collapses to just 3,8 cm from the wall surface — thin enough to look flush against almost any wall finish — while extending to a full 45,7 cm when the display needs to be pulled out for viewing or content access. This 12:1 extension-to-depth ratio is the core engineering achievement of the THINSTALL design, and it means the same mount works equally well in a boardroom where aesthetics matter and in a training room where people need to reposition the screen between sessions. There is no need to choose between a low-profile bracket and a functional one.

Centris Tilt for Effortless Viewing Angle Adjustment

Chief's Centris tilt mechanism provides up to 12° of smooth downward tilt, adjustable with fingertip pressure rather than tools. In practice this means a display mounted at ceiling-high commercial heights — above a reception desk, at the end of a narrow corridor, or in a corner near the ceiling — can be angled precisely toward the audience. The mechanism is designed to hold its set angle under the weight of the display without creeping over time, reducing the need for service calls to re-tilt screens that have drifted.

3,8 cm thin. 45,7 cm reach. Full motion on one stud.

180° Swivel for True Full-Motion Repositioning

The dual swing arm allows the display to pivot up to 180° (–90° to +90° from centre), which in real-world terms means the screen can face sideways along a wall as well as directly forward. This is particularly useful in corner installations, open-plan offices, or collaborative spaces where the intended viewing position changes throughout the day. The swivel range is mechanically limited by the mounted display's own width, so actual travel varies with screen size — installers should verify clearance for larger panels near 47".

Integrated Tool-Free Cable Management

Enclosed cable covers snap into place without any tools and route power and signal cables along the arms and down to the wall penetration point. The result is a seamless installation that passes visual inspection in high-end environments and avoids the dangling cable bundles that often appear behind swing-arm mounts. For commercial installers this cuts finish-up time and reduces the likelihood of cables being snagged or damaged when the arm is retracted after the display is repositioned.

Post-Installation Height and Levelling Adjustment

Once the mount is fixed to the wall and the display is attached, the TS218SU still allows up to 2,5 cm of vertical height adjustment and post-installation levelling — without removing the screen or accessing the wall fixings. This is a practical advantage on commercial jobs where multiple displays need to be aligned in a row, or where slight wall imperfections have caused the screen to sit slightly off-level. Corrections can be made quickly on site, keeping installation time and snagging visits to a minimum.

Single-Stud Wall Mounting

The TS218SU mounts to a single wall stud (0" stud offset), which significantly simplifies installation in locations where stud spacing does not align with a standard dual-stud pattern. In drywall construction — the norm in commercial fit-outs across offices, hotels, and retail — finding a single stud is straightforward, whereas locating two correctly spaced studs can force the installer to reposition the entire mount. Single-stud fixing also makes the TS218SU a practical choice for partition walls with non-standard framing.

In-Wall Concealment via TA502 Accessory

The TS218SU is directly compatible with Chief's TA502 in-wall swing arm accessory, which recesses the entire mechanism into a standard wall cavity between 16-inch on-centre studs. This turns the mount into a zero-profile installation: when the arm is folded, the display sits flush with the wall surface with no visible hardware. This level of finish is increasingly expected in premium hospitality, executive boardroom, and high-end retail environments. The accessory is sold separately, giving integrators the option to specify the concealment only where the budget and wall construction support it.
