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.

Figure 8 - Design Bracket with 18 Worksurface with 74P & Knife Edge
Design Bracket Installation
Design brackets are left- and
right-handed and are used to
support 18” deep worksurfaces
regardless of edge style. They
can also be used to support
approved peninsula worksurfaces
at worksurface only loaded panel
returns.
1. Locate and identify right- and
left-hand design brackets to be
used. A right design bracket
is used on the right side of a
worksurface as you face the panel
and the left-handed bracket is
at the left. The outer face of an
installed design bracket should
appear flush with the edge of the
panel surface and the mounting
flange must face inward
(Figure 7).
2. Select the bracket height location
based on the desired worksurface
height. Typical worksurface
height is 29” from top of surface
to floor. ADA height range is
28”- 34”.
Example:
The typical KI
worksurface thickness is 1.18”;
therefore the installed Unite
design bracket should measure
27

/

” from top of bracket to the
floor.
3. To install design bracket, first
rotate the front of the bracket up
as illustrated and insert the top,
anti-dislodge tooth into the panel
module slotting at the appropriate
height. Push up when the top
tooth is engaged, then rotate
the bottom of the bracket down,
engaging all remaining bracket
teeth into the slotting. Ensure
that all teeth are inserted firmly,
then press bracket down to fully
engage all teeth. If necessary, use
a rubber mallet to gently tap the
top of the bracket to firmly seat
the teeth. Repeat the steps above
for the second design bracket to
be installed (Figure 7).

Edge
Note:
When worksurfaces are
installed adjacent to each other,
right- and left-hand design
brackets will be installed
side-to-side with the flat faces
mated (Figure 7).
5. Carefully place worksurface onto
installed design brackets and
align mounting holes of brackets
to pre-drilled holes in underside
of worksurface. Secure using two

” screws per bracket.
Take care to not over-tighten the
screws (Figures 7 & 8).
6. 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

too deep which may damage the
worksurface (Figure 8).
7. Install worksurface splice plate to
underside of worksurfaces using
four #12 x

to not over-tighten screws
(Figure 8).
