Panel System - Worksurface Installation
Assembly Instructions
Assemble units as described herein only. To do otherwise
may result in instability. All screws, nuts and bolts must be
tightened securely and must be checked periodically after
assembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure parts
may result in assembly failure and personal injury.

Standard Cantilever Bracket
Installation with 22” Deep
Worksurface
Note:
When 22” deep
worksurfaces are installed
adjacent to each other, right- and
left-hand cantilever brackets will
be installed side-to-side with the
flat faces touching. Above the
cantilever brackets, and spanning
under both worksurfaces, a 22”
splice plate must be installed
between the cantilever brackets
and the adjoining worksurface
pairs to keep worksurface tops
aligned (Figure 2).
1. Install standard cantilever
brackets to Unite panels as
outlined in steps 1-4 (previous
page) (Figure 1).
2. Where two worksurfces will meet
on cantilever brackets, set a 22”
splice plate onto the left- and
right-hand cantilever bracket
pair between panels. Align
the support bracket mounting
holes over the cantilever bracket
mounting holes, then carefully
place each worksurface onto
cantilever brackets and align
mounting holes of brackets to
pre-drilled holes in underside of
worksurface. Secure using two

Take care to not over-tighten the
screws (Figures 1 & 2).
Standard Cantilever Bracket
Installation with 24-30” Deep
Worksurface
Note:
When 24-30” deep
worksurfaces are installed
adjacent to each other, right- and
left-hand cantilever brackets will
be installed side-to-side with
the flat faces touching. A small
worksurface splice plate must be
installed between the adjoining
worksurface pairs, in front of the
cantilever bracket pair to keep
worksurface tops aligned
(Figure 3).
1. Install standard cantilever brackets
to Unite panels as outlined in
steps 1-4 (previous page)
(Figure 1).
2. Carefully place worksurfaces onto
installed cantilever brackets and
align mounting holes of brackets
to pre-drilled holes in underside
of worksurfaces. Secure using
two #12 x

Take care to not over-tighten the
screws (Figure 3).
3. To keep worksurfaces level, install
a small splice plate between
worksurfaces as illustrated.
Position the splice plate centered
under the installed worksurfaces
and use mounting holes as
template, then mark mounting
hole locations. Pre-drill

to not drill too deep which may
