8. Installation of Corner Plates
INVERTED CORNER PLATES – for inside corners – furnished
in two types, 4-5/8” standard plate is used when Assemblies
on adjoining walls extend to within 4-3/8” of the corner. If
this distance is greater than 4-3/8” but less than 10-3/8”, the
10-5/8” plate is used. Extended Plate may be cut to desired
length with hacksaw.
Set Inverted Corner Plate in place overlapping the end of the
adjoining BASE-RAY
®
Assemblies. Secure to
À
oor with wood
screws furnished.
If installation is on tile with wood sub-
À
ooring, drill 1/2”
holes in tile in line with holes in Corner Plate. Holes should
not penetrate sub-
À
ooring. Substitute screws of same size as
furnished but longer and secure Corner Plate to sub-
À
ooring.
If installation is on masonry
À
oor, drill 1/2” holes approximately
1” deep in
À
oor in line with holes in Corner Plate. Drive slightly
oversized wood plugs into holes and secure Corner Plate to
plugs with wood screws furnished.
PROJECTING CORNER PLATE – for concealing pipe and
¿
ttings at outside corners. See section on MAXIMUM DI-
MENSION OF FITTINGS, page 8. Assemblies on adjoining
walls must extend to within 3” of corner.
Set Projecting Corner Plate in place overlapping the ends of
the adjoining BASE-RAY Assemblies. Secure with moulding
(not furnished) at top and bottom.
9. Installation of Baseboard Extension, Splice Plates,
End Caps and Filler Pieces.
BASEBOARD EXTENSION – Extension panels are
furnished in six foot lengths but may be cut to desired
lengths with hacksaw. Extensions are supported by hang-
ers which are attached to studs (stud locations determined
in Step 1) with two No. 10 x 1-1/2” wood screws.
Screw hangers to studs so that there is a hanger located at
the extreme ends of the Baseboard Extension and at two
foot intervals along its length. If construction members
are not suitably located, use Moly Screw anchors to
secure Hangers to wall. Bottom of Hangers should rest
on
¿
nished
À
oor unless BASE-RAY has been raised for
wall-to-wall carpeting (see page 9). If such is the case,
Hangers must be raised an equal amount.
Install END CAPS on Extension (see succeeding para-
graph), insert lip on top rear of Extension into slot at top
of Hangers and snap channel on bottom of Extension
under spacer arm on lower part of Hanger.
SPLICE PLATES – used to make neat covering for joint
where two Extension Panels butt together or where Ex-
tension Panel terminates at BASE-RAY.
Plate hooks on bottom of Splice Plate over lip on bottom
of Extension Panel and push top of Splice Plate toward
wall until hooks on top of the Splice Plate snap into posi-
tion behind the Extension or the BASE-RAY. When the
Splice Plate is used to join an Extension Panel to BASE-
RAY, bottom hook which overlaps BASE-RAY must be
cut off.
END CAPS – available in both left-hand and right-hand
patterns for
¿
nishing off ends of Baseboard Extensions
that terminate at doorways or at Valve Enclosures. They
can be used where Extensions butt against BASE-RAY
in preference to Splice Plate.
Remove Knockout in end of End Cap if piping is to run
in this direction. Slide over end of Extension Panel.
