Panel Height Change

Follow the instructions below for changing the wedge block position
on a panel end to connect to it a panel of lower height.
1. Remove both top wedge block screws and wedge block.
2. Remove hanger frame screws and hanger frame.
3. Determine the length to cut off from the top (“CC” stamped
at end) portion of the hanger frame by subtracting the
nominal height of the shorter panel from the nominal height
of the taller panel.
4. Use hacksaw or power reciprocating saw to cut hanger frame; be sure to cut squarely. Discard top
portion of hanger frame.
5. Reinstall hanger frame and tighten screws; be sure to evenly align panel shell side-to-side.
6. Position top wedge block in new position, lowered the same distance calculated in step 3 above.
Scribe a mark at the center point of each screw hole in the wedge block.
7. Remove hanger frame, bottom wedge block, and panel shell.
8. At each scribed mark, stamp a starting dimple using a starting punch or nail. Also stamp one
between the two, inline with the two. At each of the three marks, drill a 5/16” hole through the panel
shell.
9. Reinstall panel shell, bottom wedge block and hanger frame; be
sure to evenly align panel shell side-to-side. Tighten all screws.
10. Position top wedge block in new position, lowered the same
distance calculated in step 3 above. Scribe a mark at the center
point of each screw hole in the panel frame. Remove wedge
block.
11. Drill a 3/16” hole, at a
2
˚
-- 4
˚
angle,
through the frame rail at the
two screw locations (the centered hole is a relief for the boss on
the back of the wedge block).
Important Note: Holes must be drilled at a 2
˚
-- 4
˚
angle from the
panel face; failure to do so could allow drill or wedge block screw
to damage face of panel.
12. Position top wedge block in new position and attach with two wedge block screws.
13. Attach top of panel shell to panel frame through any hanger frame screw hole near top with a flat-
head drywall screw. Screw head must be large enough to hold panel shell down without going
through and without being raised to hamper attachment of variable height filler trim.
For example:
67” Taller panel nominal height
– 47” Shorter panel nominal height
20”
Amount to be removed from top
