Pedestal-to-Panel with
Worksurface Installation
The Unite Panel System offers
pedestals and double pedestal
lateral files (Figure 21) as support
for worksurfaces of indicated
depths. A space-planning layout
details correct worksurface
configurations, panel support
bracket types, and pedestal-
to-panel support brackets. The
following steps do not cover
every assembly combination;
please reference the appropriate
bracket layout instructions earlier
in this worksurfaces section for
proper installation.
Important:
Worksurfaces must
be supported at both ends.
Pedestal/Double Pedestal to
Panel Support Bracket
1. One of four brackets is specified
to attach a pedestal to the panel
wall, depending on worksurface
type, depth, and according to
space-planning layout. A support
bracket with no spacer is only
used on 22” deep worksurfaces
and 24” deep with Knife Edge.
Brackets with spacers are used
to extend the pedestal out from
the panel to match the depth of
the worksurface (24”, 30”, and
30” Knife Edge)(Figure 21).
Note:
The pedestal mounts to
the panel and worksurface the
same regardless of bracket type
(Figure 21).
Removing Drawers
Note:
To ease the assembly of
support brackets to cabinets and
cabinets to worksurfaces, all file
drawers should be removed.
3. Empty the contents of file drawers
and open drawer until suspension
is fully extended (Figure 22).
4. Using a slot screwdriver, place
tip between the drawer body and
the suspension, near the slip
connection (Detail F).
5. Rotate the screw driver to pry the
glide away from the drawer body,
while pressing up on the bottom
of the drawer (Detail F).
6. The drawer will now slip free from
the rear connections by pulling
the drawer evenly at a slight angle
upwards (Figure 22).
