•
Panel runs loaded on both sides with
overhead storage and/or work surfaces
must have support panels on both sides of
the run. Support panel width must
correspond to the depth of the deepest
component mounted to the panel run on
that side of the run at the beginning and
ending panels and at intervals not to exceed
ten feet; for Acoustical, Glazed and Open-
Frame panels, must not exceed eight feet.
4. T-Connectors are used to connect panel runs to either a
structural wall or building column or along a mid-point of
another panel.
•
A structural wall is a load-bearing wall constructed
of poured concrete, cement blocks or composite
board attached to metal or wood studs.
•
Wood studs must be a nominal 2” x 4” size.
•
Metal studs must be 20-ga. “c”-channel, center-to-
center dimension not to exceed 24” and be less
than 14’ tall, restrained at both ceiling and floor.
Load Capacities
Compatico will not, under any circumstances, guarantee or assume responsibility for loading
performance beyond the basic individual component capacities given below:
•
Hanging work surfaces, 60” or less wide:
o
250 lbs, 18” deep
o
200 lbs, 24” deep
o
200 lbs, 30” deep
•
Hanging work surfaces, 66” – 96” wide:
o
250 lbs, 24” deep
(with three work surface supports)
o
250 lbs, 30” deep
(with four work surface supports)
•
Shelves: 150 lbs
•
Hanging storage pedestal (Box/File): 25 lbs
•
Pencil drawers: 5 lbs
Load capacities as listed above for work surfaces include the total load of fully loaded hanging
components attached to the underside of the work surface plus the load placed on the top of the
work surface.
WARNING: Failure to observe the recommended practices such as loading beyond stated
capacities can result in unsafe usage conditions and product damage or personal injury or both.
Before storage components and accessories are installed on panels, be sure to level panels
and adjust each panel glide to make firm contact with the floor to maintain panel alignment and
to distribute panel load uniformly to floor. Check panel stability after installation is complete and
furniture components are attached; adjust any panel glides as may be necessary.
Support panels
12” min,
both
sides
Minimum support panel width must match
or exceed depth of deepest component
that side of the panel run.
