When installing the partition components, consult the
applicable Bradley Partition submittal drawing specific to
this job for compartment layout dimensions.
Be aware of your surroundings and avoid obstructions.
1Marking & Installing U-Brackets
From the accompanying production drawing you
can see the centerline plus overall dimensions and
the dimensions of the front wall. Transfer these
measurements to the floor and appropriate walls.
A
Number the wall U-brackets while laying out the stalls.
Use the laser level to locate the drill points for each
U-bracket. Mark and then drill the locations.
B
Using the 4D laser level, locate the centerline of each
U-bracket. Measure up from the floor 100 mm and
mark the bottom of the first U-bracket. Use the first
bracket base location as a guide to locate and mark the
remaining bracket locations using the laser level.
C
Mark the drill holes for the wall connection U-brackets.
Hold the numbered brackets at these locations, line up
the U-bracket pre-drilled holes at laser centerline, and
mark the screw hole locations on the wall. Be sure to
keep the numbered brackets straight.
E
D
Drill the marked holes using an 8 mm drill bit, and
then mount the U-brackets using 8 mm x 51 mm
plastic anchors and 5.5 mm x 60 mm countersunk
screws with 6.4 mm washers.
F
If the centerline dimensions are not specified, the
cubicle is divided equally according to the dimensions
for the front side.
The dimensions from the floor for the remaining
U-brackets may vary depending on any slope in the
floor.

This step may not be necessary, depending on the layout.
Determine whether the shelf is at a right angle.
If several notches are required, align the height of the
U-brackets using a laser level.
2Making Back Wall Notches (if necessary)
Measure the height of the shelf on the back wall and
subtract the specified ground clearance at that location
from this dimension.
A
Shorten the mitered pre-cut U-bracket to the correct
size. Place the U-bracket with the miter end up,
making sure that it is flush with the top of the shelf.
B
Adjust the remaining piece of the long U-bracket to the
height of the system, and then attach the U-bracket,
setting it perpendicular to the wall.
C
Transfer the notch dimension with the addition of
0.20" clearance to the partition panel, and then use a
circular saw to make the notch.
E
Adjust the short miter U-bracket, and then attach it to
the shelf.

Typically, 2 rivets are required for each component
(top of pilaster or top of door). Make sure the hole for
1 rivet is placed at least 50 mm in from the edge of the
component. In some cases, the pilaster may be too
narrow where only 1 rivet would be used.
Headrail pieces are shipped approximately 60 mm
longer than needed and must be trimmed to fit the
exact requirements.
Make sure the door is flush with the adjoining pilasters.
Use a long straight edge to make any necessary
adjustments.
