Panel System - Worksurface Installation
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.

Corner Change-of-Height
Brackets
Brackets are used when changing
worksurface heights at a corner.
Use of this bracket requires
that support brackets used for
the lower worksurface be of
approved support style for that
worksurface/panel configuration.
Only the lower worksurface may
function as a return surface which
is panel supporting. Corner
change-of-height brackets are
available in different lengths, for
worksurfaces from 18” to 30”,
including KN.
1. Select the bracket height location
for the lower worksurface 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 the lower worksurface
completely. Per the
space-planning layout, the lower
worksurface depth must match
the width of the adjacent panel.
The lower workurface must
be installed with an approved
support bracket (cantilever
bracket shown) on the back
corner edge along with a
worksurface edge support and
lock on the other edge. For the
example illustrated in Figure 13,
the opposite end of the lower
surface uses a non-panel
mounted open leg (Figure 13).
3. Carefully place “upper”
workusrface face down on a soft,
protective surface. At the narrow
edge of the table which will
rest on the lower table, install a
change-of-height bracket with
#12 x
3
/
4
” screws as illustrated
(Figure 14).
4. At the back edge of the upper
worksurface, near the end with
the installed change-of-height
bracket, position an L-bracket at
6” from the side edge. The back
edge of the L-bracket should
overhang the rear of the table
surface by the thickness of the
vertical member of the bracket.
Using the properly positioned
bracket mounting holes as a
template, carefully drill two
1
/
8
”dia. pilot holes to
1
/
2
” in depth.
Take care to not drill too deep or
worksurface may be damaged.
Install L-bracket to worksurface
using two #12 x
3
/
4
” screws. Take
care to not over-tighten screws
(Figure 14).
