Assembly Instructions
Assemble units as described herein only. To do otherwise
may result in instability. All screws, nuts and bolts must be
tightened securely and must be checked periodically after
assembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure parts
may result in assembly failure and personal injury.

Change-of-Height Bracket
Overview
Change-of-height brackets are
used when adapting from 26”
high worksurface planning to 29”
high worksurface planning. Two
styles are available: In-line and
Corner.
In-Line Change-of-Height
Brackets Installation
In-line change-of-hieght
brackets are used when changing
worksurface heights in-line along
a panel. The in-line change-of-
height bracket takes the place
of a splice plate and requires
cantilever bracket support
beneath both upper and lower
change-of-height worksurfaces.
Cantilever brackets are shown,
but if either worksurface is 18”
deep (74P or KN edge style)
the 12” design brackets are
used beneath that worksurface.
Change-of-height brackets are
available in different lengths, for
worksurfaces from 18” to 30”,
including KN.
1. Select the bracket height location
based on the desired worksurface
height. Typical worksurface
height is 29” from top of surface
to floor. ADA height range is
28”-34”.
Example:
The typical KI
worksurface thickness is 1
1
/
8
”;
therefore the installed Unite
design bracket should measure
27
7
/
8
” from top of bracket to the
floor.
2. Install all lower and upper-height
worksurface support brackets per
the space-planning layout. The
upper worksurface bracket should
be installed 3” (3-slots) higher
than the lower bracket.
3. Place the in-line
change-of-height bracket
onto both support brackets as
illustrated, positioning the back
of the bracket to the panel and
aligning mounting holes and slots
of brackets (Figure 12 & Detail B).
4. Carefully place worksurfaces onto
installed support brackets and
change-of-height bracket then
align mounting holes of brackets
to pre-drilled holes in underside
of worksurfaces. Secure using two

” screws per bracket set.
Take care to not over-tighten the
screws (Figure 12 & Detail B).
Note:
For design bracket at
change-of-height bracket, use the
front and rear slots as no screw is
required in the middle slot.
