Variable Height Filler Trim
The 48” trim piece is designed to provide up to two pieces of trim for use on connectors with panels of
unequal height or two panels in line of unequal height as described above. Each end is profiled to serve as
a top, finished end.
1. Filler trim must be cut to
required length. Measure the
distance between the top of
the panel/connector and the
top of the top draw block of
the lower panel. Then
measure same distance from
one end of the trim piece and
scribe a line across the face
at that point.
2. Use hacksaw or power miter
saw; be sure to cut squarely.
Note: Do not discard other end;
it may also be used as a filler
trim in many cases.
3. Clean the area to be
trimmed; make sure it is dry
before positioning the filler.
4. Remove paper backer from
adhesive tape on back side
of filler. Position filler trim and press firmly into position. Make sure profiled end of filler trim is at top
and positioned flush with top of connector or panel top cap.
