Safety Information
Warning
Before beginning installation, make sure that the wall and floor backing are adequate to support the mounting of the toilet
compartment units.
Partitions are extremely heavy and may require more than one person to position and install.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in personal injury and/or property damage and will void the warranty.
Caution
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is required during the installation and maintenance of this product.
Notice
To prevent warping, always lay the material flat. Do not lean the material against the wall or stack unevenly.
Make sure all floors and walls are clean and smooth. Remove loose impediments, such as protruding nails and other debris which
could affect installation.
To minimize break-out, always use a support block when drilling through the material.
Carefully remove components from skid, do not drag.
Important
Review your partition layout drawings and verify the number of stalls and components before beginning installation.
Read this installation manual completely to ensure proper installation, then file it with the owner or maintenance department.
This installation manual provides instruction for the assembly of normal partition configurations and standard components.
Non-standard configurations or components including but not limited to curved or angled walls, partial walls, oversized panels, or
modified hardware are not covered in this manual. Compliance and conformity to local codes and ordinances is the responsibility
of the installer.
Separate parts from packaging and make sure all parts are accounted for before discarding packaging material. If any parts are
missing, do not begin installation until you obtain the missing parts.

Bradley • AD3-FLOAT_Install Rev. A 12/10/2021
When installing the partition components, consult the
applicable Bradley Partition submittal drawing specific to this
job for compartment layout dimensions.
If the centerline dimensions are not specified, the
cubicle is divided equally according to the dimensions
for the front side.
1Marking & Installing U-Brackets
From the accompanying production drawing, use the
centerline plus overall dimensions and the dimensions
of the front wall. Transfer these measurements to the
floor and appropriate walls.
A
Be aware of your surroundings and avoid obstructions.
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
The dimensions from the floor for the remaining
U-brackets may vary depending on any slope in the
floor.

2Making Notches (if necessary)
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.
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.

3Installing U-Bracket on Middle Pilasters
Verify the correct pilasters are selected by matching
the label on the pilasters with what is indicated on the
submittal drawings.
Pay close attention to the latch side versus hinge side,
in addition to the in-swing or out-swing.
Determine the centerline of the pilaster and then draw
a full-length line along the pilaster. There may be a
custom dimension indicated on the submittal drawing.
Place the U-bracket on the interior pilaster flush with
the bottom, and then mark the drill holes.
A
B
Using a 4.2 mm drill bit, drill the holes through the
surface of the first panel only, and then attach the
U-bracket using 5.5 mm x 25 mm pan head screws.
Make sure the lower hole catches part of the interior
aluminum frame at the bottom edge of the pilaster.

Appendix A: LED Occupancy Indicator
The LED occupancy light strips, visible from the front and back of the pilasters, are pre-installed in the pilaster near the latch while
at the factory. Always place the indicators next to the door at the latch location. The activation of the LED is made with a magnetic
switch in the strike area in the edge of the pilaster. The LED indicator strips are standard 500 mm long but can be ordered in
200 mm lengths, if desired.
It is recommended that each LED indicator strip has its own power supply—multiple strips on one power supply transformer
may result in uneven light intensity.
It is recommended that each LED indicator be connected to its own low voltage transformer (not included).
Contact a Bradley representative for transformer recommendations.
Low Voltage Wire Routing Information
• The low voltage wire is included when LED indicators are ordered. Each LED indicator strip requires 12 VDC.
• Each LED indicator requires 3.6W of power.
• The LED indicator lights are on continuously. The LED is green when stall is unoccupied, and red when the stall is occupied
and the latch is locked.
• The low voltage wire routing depends on the location of the LED strips in pilasters. Interior stalls require routing the wires
along the top of the panels, running to the back wall. End stalls next to walls require routing the wires to the near wall
perpendicular to the back wall.
• Wires at back wall locations must have a minimum of 5 meters beyond back wall entrance location.
• Where the wires protrude from the fixed walls, center wires along the top of the panels so the wires run into the edge of the
panels. Verify this location is along the centerline of the panel and is approximately 10 mm from the top edge of the panel.
Example: If the bottom of the panel is 100 mm above the finished floor and the panel is the standard 1980 mm, then the
dimension from the floor to the center location of the wire placement would be 2070 mm.
• The LED is activated by a magnetic switch located in the edge opening on the pilaster at the latch location. Internal switch
activation is most prominent at the upper and lower location of this switch. The middle of this switch is not a proper activation
area. Be sure to locate the latch throw from door latch at the upper or lower area of the pilaster switch. The switch may have
to be adjusted. If the latch throw is too far separated from the switch, additional small magnets may be required.
