24 VDO Face 5™ user manual
Header side connection brackets
Warning! VDO Face Header side connection brackets are for alignment purposes only. Only fasten
panels to a header if the header is suspended using its eyebolt as described in this user manual.
Before you install columns of VDO Face™ panels side-by-side, install headers and fasten them together
using the header side connection brackets that are supplied with headers.
To install a header side connection bracket:
1. See Figure 21. Each time you install two headers D beside each other, place a side connection bracket
E over the ends of the headers and pass the four locking pins F supplied with the brackets through both
the bracket and the headers.
2. Secure all four locking pins F with spring clips G .
Corner connection plates
VDO Face™ corner connection plates have both a load-bearing and a stabilizing function. You must fasten
the corners of VDO Face™ panels together by installing corner connection plates on the rear face of VDO
Face 5 panels in the following three situations:
1. Single columns
In any column of panels that is not joined to other panels at both sides and that is more than five (5) panels
high, corner connection plates must be installed at all times on all four corners of every panel that is above
the five (5) lowest panels in the column. See also Figure 23 on page 27.
2. Multiple columns
In an installation consisting of multiple columns hanging side by side that are fastened to each other using
their integral side-to-side fasteners, in any column that is more than ten (10) panels high, corner connection
plates must be installed at all times on all four corners of every panel that is above the ten (10) lowest
panels. See also Figure 24 on page 29 and Figure 25 on page 31.
3. Columns that need to be stabilized
Where extra stabilization is required because of movement or vibration of the supporting structure or
because of wind pressure, corner connection plates must be installed on all four corners of every panel in
the installation.
