Peninsula Surfaces with Add-On
Peninsula Attachment Plate
Installation
An add-on peninsula attachment
plate is used at the attachment
end of an approved peninsula
worksurface with approved
support at the opposite end (i.e.
a pair of post legs, support frame
or pedestal). The attachment plate
secures an approved peninsula
surface to the underside of
an approved panel-attached
worksurface at various locations.
Your installation location may be
different than example shown.
1. Lay the peninsula worksurface
down on a soft, protective surface.
At the front end of the surface,
install approved support such as a
Unite support leg or a pair of post
legs (shown installed) (Figure 10).
Note:
Peninsula worksurfaces
are to be less than 72” in length,
and are offered in 22”, 24” & 30”
widths.
2. Lay a peninsula attachment plate
onto the end of the peninsula
surface opposite the support(s).
Center the plate from
side-to-side and position the
overhang of the plate allowing

panel-attached worksurface.
Using the properly positioned
attachment plate as a template,
mark the center of all attachment
hole locations to the underside
of the peninsula surface. Remove
the plate, and using a drill with
a

” drill bit, carefully drill
pilot holes to only

” depth in
peninsula surface underside at
center of marked locations. Take
care to not drill too deep to avoid
damaging worksurface.
Note:
30” wide peninsula
surfaces will use a mounting
plate with seven mounting holes
in the plate per surface, and 24”
wide peninsula surfaces will use
a plate with six mounting holes
each side.
3. Replace the attachment plate over
the pilot holes and secure plate
to underside of peninsula surface
using #12 x

to not over-tighten screws.
4. Using an assistant, carefully turn
the peninsula surface upright
and position the attachment plate
to the underside of the panel
attached worksurface, at the
location the peninsula will secure
to. Similar to step 2 above, mark
mounting holes through the plate
to the underside of the panel
attached worksurface. Remove the
peninsula surface and pre-drill
mounting holes on the marks
at the underside of the panel
attached surface, to

only (Figure 11).
5. Place the peninsula surface with
attachment plate back under the
panel attached surface and secure
plate to underside of surface
using #12 x

” screws. Take
care to not over-tighten screws
(Figure 11).
