Frequently Asked Questions - PACVISO1 Chief

What is the PACVISO1 accessory used for?

The PACVISO1 is a vibration isolation wall mount accessory designed to provide extra stability and reduce vibrations for displays mounted on compatible Chief wall mounts, particularly the RMF3 FIT-series.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the PACVISO1?

The maximum weight capacity depends on the wall type: 125 lbs (56.7 kg) when mounted to wood or steel studs, and 75 lbs (34.0 kg) when mounted to drywall-only walls. Always ensure the combined weight of all components does not exceed these limits.

Can the PACVISO1 be installed on any wall type?

It is designed for three wall types: 2"x4" wood studs (16" on center), steel studs (minimum 25ga), and drywall-only (minimum 1/2" thickness). The drywall thickness must be between 1/2" and 5/8" for stud walls.

What tools are needed for installation?
