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.

Perpendicular 22” & 24” Deep
Worksurface Connections with
Knife Edge
Note:
When a 22” deep Knife
Edge worksurface is installed
perpendicular to another, a 22”
splice plate must be installed
between the adjacent worksurface
pairs to keep worksurface tops
aligned. There is no room to
install a small splice plate as
the knife edge is 2” deep. The
22” splice plate, when properly
installed will span over the
beveled gap (Figure 4).
1. Install standard cantilever
brackets to Unite panels as
outlined in steps 1-4 (page 3)
to the locations outlined in your
space-planning layout (Figure 1).
2. Carefully place worksurfaces
onto cantilever brackets per your
space-planning layout and align
mounting holes of brackets to
pre-drilled holes in underside of
worksurfaces. Insert two
#12 x

” screws only half-way
through each bracket into
the worksurface, except at the
location where a 22” splice plate
will go.
3. Where the two adjoining
worksurfaces meet at the
cantilever bracket, slide a
22” splice plate between
the cantilever and the pair
of worksurfaces. Align the
outermost mounting holes of
the splice plate to the mounting
holes of the cantilever bracket
such that most of the 22” splice
plate extends beneath the
adjoining knife edge worksurface
that it must support. Secure with
two #12 x

cantilever bracket, the 22” splice
plate and into the worksurface.
Take care to not over-tighten
screws (Figure 5).

4. Using the far-side holes of the 22”
splice plate as a template under
the adjoining surface, take care
to drill three

5. Tighten all remaining screws
to secure cantilever brackets to
underside of worksurfaces. Take
care to not over-tighten screws
(Figure 5).
