Table Tubes
Step A: Install Gutter Tray Supports
Step B: Dry Fit Gutter Trays
Gutter Tray Supports are used to lock the Gutter Trays in place and provide additional support. Insert the Supports on the
Table Tubes with the arrows on the Gutter Tray Supports pointing towards the outside of the bench.
Dry fit all trays on the table to make sure all tray seams fall into the recess in the table extrusions and nest in the Gutter Tray
Supports as shown below. For reference, the Botanicare raindrop on each tray should be facing the same direction.

Step C: Attach Botanicare Bulkhead Fittings
Step D: Assemble Hose to the Drain Manifold
Drill out the holes in the Drain tray to a diameter of 1-3/8" (35mm). Do not drill out to a size larger than 1-1/2" (38mm).
Clean the area of any plastic chips that may interfere with the seal of the bulkhead fitting. If using the Botanicare Gutter
Tray Drain Manifold, assemble the provided 3/4" Barbed Bulkhead to the drain hole of the Gutter Tray. Assemble the drain
screen to the top of the drain tray.
Attach the provided flexible hose to the hose barb of the Drain Manifold.

TIPS:
• Slightly twist the hose clockwise as you push it onto the barb.
• Be sure to allow enough slack in the hose for the travel of the benching!
• To remove the hose from the Drain Manifold, rotate the hose clockwise as you pull.
CAUTION:
Not using the provided flexible hose will reduce the lifespan of the Drain Manifold.
This hose was selected to allow for the flex required to reduce stress on the Drain
Manifold and prevent unwanted disassembly or breakage.

Step E: Attach the Drain Manifold to the Bench
Line up the holes of the Drain Manifold to the bulkheads and push them into place until you hear and feel a light “click” - the
Drain Manifold should hang level and securely. Note, another person may be required to apply downward pressure on the
Drain Trays while the Drain Manifold is being installed. Route the provided flexible hose to your drain.
TIP:
When the Drain Manifold is disassembled from the bulkheads, the grommets will
remain attached to the bulkhead fittings. When reinstalling, simply push the grom-
mets and bulkheads back into the holes of the Drain Manifold until it is flush with the
surface of the Drain Manifold.

Step F: Bond Gutter Trays with Botanicare ® BOND THREE Tray Sealant
Perform tray assembly according to the bench assembly instructions.
Starting at the Drain tray, bond the tray seams together and use the Gutter Tray Supports to help keep trays
aligned and the tray joints held tightly. The tray seam should nest inside the detent in the Table Extrusion.
TIP:
When bonding tray seams, make sure the Drain Manifold and Gutter Tray Supports
are installed properly to help keep trays aligned and the tray joints held tightly.
CAUTION:
Before using BOND THREE Lap Tray Sealant Adhesive, carefully read and follow
all warnings and directions for use, located on package and in instructions.
Clean all surfaces that will be bonded using Isopropyl Alcohol and clean cloths.
TIP:
Do not apply too much pressure when bonding the trays together! BOND THREE is a sealant with adhesive properties
that requires surface-to-surface bonding to be eective. Don’t squeeze the trays too hard together forcing the sealant
out of the lapped joint or the BOND THREE will lose its eectiveness.
Installation manual can be found at:
https://www.botanicare.com/documentation/
TIP:
Another person may be required to spread the walls of the receiving tray to keep the BOND THREE seal clean and
uniform on the tray walls. Masking tape can be used to keep the tray walls engaged as the BOND THREE is curing.
