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

” 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
