Abstract
An apparatus for supporting a service column from a ceiling includes a mounting assembly adapted to be coupled to the ceiling. The mounting assembly includes a tube configured to extend downwardly with respect to the ceiling. The apparatus also includes an arm assembly including a first arm coupled to the tube and extending therefrom. A portion of the arm assembly is adapted to be coupled to the service column so that the service column is supportable at a location spaced from the mounting assembly. The apparatus further includes a leveling mechanism including a first member located beneath a lower end of the tube and engaging the tube adjacent to the lower end, a second member coupled to the first arm, and an adjuster coupled to the first and second members, the adjuster being movable to move the first member relative to the second member to move the first arm relative to the tube.
