Installing Compass Components
Compass components are engineered to ensure
ease of assembly and installation. All required parts
are included with each component. Components
can be combined without modification or additional
fasteners.
NOTICE
Note
: If two or more Compass components do not fit
together seamlessly, check the orientation of
the parts. Double-check the part numbers and
instructions to make sure the components are
intended to connect.
Component Sizing Details
To maintain consistent external dimensions, internal
component sizes may be smaller than the modular
dimension.
NOTICE
Note
: Dimensions are rounded to the nearest 1/4 inch.
A single leg is 13/4 inches wide. To support a linear
worksurface between two legs, the stretcher must be 31/2
inches narrower than the worksurface (13/4 + 13/4 = 31/2).
For example, a 48 inch linear worksurface where
W = 48 inches includes a 441/2 inch stretcher
(48 – 31/2 = 44 1/2).
A corner leg is 53/4 inches wide. To support a corner
worksurface between a corner leg and a standard leg,
the stretcher must be 71/2 inches narrower than the
worksurface (53/4 + 13/4 = 71/2).
For example, a symmetrical corner worksurface
where W1 = 48 inches and W2 = 48 inches includes
two 401/2 inch stretchers (48 – 71/2 = 401/2).
A non-symmetrical corner worksurface where W1 = 60
inches and W2 = 48 inches includes one 521/2 inch
stretcher for W1 and one 401/2 inch stretcher for W2.
The stretcher sizing details also apply to organizer
panels and modesty panels. Linear organizer and
modesty panels are 41/2 inches narrower than the
corresponding worksurface. Corner organizer and
modesty panels are 71/2 inches narrower than the
corresponding worksurface.
Linear overhead compartments and shelves have
the same overall width as workspaces, with internal
allowances for legs.
Linear overhead compartment shells and storage
shelves can only be applied to one side of a corner
configuration. The overall width is 4 inches less than
the specified width (W1 or W2) of the corresponding
corner worksurface.
Corner storage shelves have the same overall widths
(W1 and W2) as the corresponding corner worksurface.
