Step 3: LEG EXTENDER/FIXED HEIGHT PEDESTALS
Slide the lab table frame leg extender into the pedestal leg tube making sure the black plastic insert at the end
of the leg extender is exposed. Align the threads of the leg extender with the holes in the pedestal leg tube
and select the desired height of the bench frame. Thread two sets per leg of 1/4-20 x .75 hex head bolts with
the 1/4 flat washers into the holes in the pedestal leg tube and the threaded leg extender and tighten. Thread
the floor glide into the black plastic insert of the leg extender. The floor glides are used to level the bench
when assembly is complete and it is put into position.
Fixed Height pedestals
– place the insert that is
provided over bottom of pedestal leg. Using a rubber mallet,
or something of force that won’t damage your
items, tap the insert into place. Once the insert has been secured, the floor glide can now be installed.
TABLE TOP INSTALLATION
Step 4:
The frame is now ready to have the table top installed. With some help turn the frame right side up.
Before
installing the table top it is very important to make sure suspended cabinets and any other items that are
under the table top are installed and secured. When the table worksurface is installed it is difficult to make
changes.
Check the table top before gluing it down to make sure of its location on the frame is correct. Also make sure
they are not obstructed on the beams or pedestals. When all the double checking is done start by cleaning
the frame and the underside of the worksurface to make sure the two will make a clean seal. Apply several
“Quarter” size drops of silicone along the top of the support beams and the top of the pedestal crossbeams at
about 6” spacing as shown below.
It is not necessary to apply a lot of silicone, when the table top is installed the silicone will spread out.
