2.
Carefully lift the top shelf (one end higher
than the other) into position, making sure you
don’t damage any side walls along the way.
Lower the shelf into place on top of the
tower(s).
3. Fasten the top shelf to each bracket using
two (2) #8 x 1/2” screws mounted from un-
derneath the bracket. (See Fig. 6.) (If the top
shelf is being fastened to hanging uprights and
cleats, use #8 x 1-1/4” screws. See Fig. 7.)
Additionally, top shelves should be fastened to
all towers using #8 x 1-1/4” screws.
NOTE If the ceiling is less than 8 feet tall, you may
need a right-angle drill and a #8 counterbore to fasten
the top shelf to the tower(s).
Installing Cammed Shelving
1. Cammed shelving (see Fig. 2) may be
installed as the shelf towers are assembled,
leaving only gaps for irregularly sized sections
and corner connecting shelves when corner
shelving components are not used.
2. To create custom cammed top shelving, use
new or scrap shelf material cut to the exact
dimension required to fit the custom-sized
section.
3. If not already installed, add the cams to the
custom shelf following the Hettich drilling
instructions for each of the four cams.
4. Install the four screw-in or double-
sided studs into the four (4) system holes for
the cammed top shelf. Fasten the custom
cammed top shelf to the studs.
Installing Connecting Top Shelving
1. For multi-wall closet systems, you may install
continuous top shelving above the towers or
connect cammed top shelving in the corners
using the Shelf Joiner (a/k/a H-Channel) to
seam the perpendicular joints.
2. To connect 3/4” continuous top shelving
material install the full length, wall-to-wall top
shelving piece(s) before cutting and fitting the
connecting piece.
