Adaptive Technologies Group UB-MT-500NPS Pipe Adapter

Pipe Adapter for Mounting U-Brackets to Schedule 40 Threaded Pipe
The Adaptive Technologies Group UB-MT-500NPS is a rugged pipe adapter designed to suspend audio, video, or lighting equipment that’s mounted to U-brackets using a standard 1/2"-14 Schedule 40 NPS threaded pipe. This adapter makes it easy to extend speaker mounts or other hardware down from ceilings, structural grids, or trusses while keeping the connection secure and predictable. It’s commonly used in permanent AV installations where suspended equipment must align with structural supports above.

Supports Safe Overhead Suspension for U-Bracket Mounted Gear
This adapter acts as a solid intermediary between U-brackets and ceiling-mounted pipe systems. Once threaded onto a Schedule 40 NPS pipe, the UB-MT-500NPS creates a stable suspension point that securely holds the U-bracket—and the gear attached to it—in position. It’s ideal for venues where sightlines, audio dispersion, or projector angles require precise mounting away from the ceiling surface.

Compatible with Ceiling Mounts and Strut-Based Attachment Systems
The UB-MT-500NPS integrates seamlessly with a variety of Adaptive Technologies Group’s ceiling mounts and strut-based solutions. Whether the pipe drops directly from a ceiling flange, truss clamp, or strut channel adapter, this threaded pipe adapter helps create a modular mounting system that can be tailored to a wide range of installation environments. It works well in theaters, churches, schools, retail spaces, and other commercial settings.

Built to Thread Cleanly on Standard 1/2"-14 Schedule 40 NPS Pipe
Designed specifically for compatibility with 1/2"-14 NPS threads, the UB-MT-500NPS ensures a snug, vibration-resistant fit. Schedule 40 pipe is a common choice for rigging and structural drops due to its strength and availability, making this adapter an easy integration into existing systems or new builds. The clean threading helps reduce install time and minimizes wobble or loosening over time.

Compact Form Factor Maintains a Professional Look
Despite its heavy-duty capabilities, the UB-MT-500NPS maintains a compact, low-profile form that keeps ceiling-mounted systems looking clean and unobtrusive. It doesn’t distract from the aesthetics of the space or the equipment it’s supporting, which is important in venues where the appearance of the rigging system matters just as much as the function.

Trusted by AV Integrators for Long-Term Structural Stability
AV professionals rely on the UB-MT-500NPS when working with installations that need to last. Its steel construction and precise threading make it a dependable part of a larger rigging strategy. When paired with proper safety cables and professionally installed, this adapter offers peace of mind in any suspended configuration.
