1. DETERMINE FINAL LOCATION OF THE TABLE
The table base can be placed directly over a flush-floor monument no larger than 6 3/4” diameter (shown),
or adjacent to either a flush floor or above floor monument.
2. LOCATE AND INSTALL THE POWER INFEED
(Note: A licensed electrician can install the power infeed before, during, or after the table assembly
process.)
There are three power infeed options available: 3-circuit hardwire (2a), single-circuit plug (2b), or 3-circuit
hardwire-New York version (2c). Remove the infeed from the beam assembly box.
Hardwire power infeeds must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with all local codes.
See the Note on page 2 of these instructions and the wiring schematic on page 3.

3. PULL THE POWER INFEED UP THROUGH THE BASE.
Remove the base access door. Pull the infeed up through the base and out the opening in the top.
Communications cables (not shown) should also be pulled through the base at this time.
The New York City infeed box should be attached to the inside of the base using the hook and loop
fasteners provided. The box should be positioned so that the door of the box is accessible through the
base access door, and so that the steel conduit will pass through the opening at the bottom of the base
access door.

5. ASSEMBLE WIREWAY TO TABLE BASES
5
Support brackets are installed so that the Wireway is ready to install on all End-Bases and 30” wide
Laminate and Veneer Mid-Bases, if Support Bracket screws are accessible. If Support Bracket screws are
not accessible or Wireway is to be attached to 24” wide Laminate or Veneer Mid-Base or any Aluminum
Mid-Base End Support Brackets will need to be removed.
6. Attach End Support Bracket with 1/4-20 Socket Head Screws. Reattach Wireway to end support
brackets per instruction on next page.

7. Attach the beams to the base brackets
Each universal base bracket has a color-coded sticker that indicates the correct mounting position for
the beam depending on the type of base. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE BEAM IS
MOUNTED USING THE CORRECT HOLES!
Carefully refer to the diagram on the sticker and install ALL twelve (12) screws.

8. (FOR THREE OR FOUR-BASE TABLES ONLY) CONNECT JUMPER FROM ONE WIREWAY TO
THE NEXT WIREWAY
(On all two-base tables, the jumpers connecting power blocks are factory-installed).
On three or four-base tables, a jumper (or jumpers) must be field installed to connect the last power
block on one beam to the first power block on the next beam.
Remove Jumper Bracket from power block to be attached to (8a).
Attach jumper from first power block to next beam (8b) and (8c).

VERY IMPORTANT!
Reattach Jumper Bracket.
NOTE: Careful scheduling coordination of the various contractors involved in any E-Table 2 installation will simplify the process for all. At this
point it is recommended that the furniture installers “step aside” and allow the cabling installers to install communications cables. If this is not
practical, then the cabling installers will need to remove one or both side panels after the table is completely assembled. See page 13 for this
procedure.
9. Terminate all communication cables
Remove the blank faceplate covers. Pull through and terminate all voice/data cables using a
standard architectural single, double, or triple-gang faceplate.
There are numerous holes spaced along the top of the C-shaped beams that can be used as
tie-down points for data cables. DO NOT tie-down cables to the holes on the side or bottom of
the beams. These will be used to attach the side panels next.
Reinstall bottom cover
Reverse step 4.

10. Install table top: two-base tables
Carefully set the table top into place on top of the completed base/wireway assembly. There are
predrilled pilot holes in the table top for connecting the base and the side panels. Line up these holes in
the top with the corresponding holes in the base/wireways assembly.
Attach the top using the wood screws provided.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!
Only use 1” long wood screws to attach side panels to the table top. Longer screws may
damage the table surface.
1
¼” long screws should be used to attach laminate or veneer bases to the top.

Tite Joints
11. Install the Tite-Joint ™ fasteners on multi-piece table tops (If the table top is one piece, see step 12).
If the top is a multi-piece top, Tite-Joint Fasteners will need to be installed before connecting the top to the
base assembly.
Carefully remove the protective wood strips from the joining edges of the tabletop sections, prying from the
underside of the top to loosen. Be very careful not to damage the veneer or laminate when removing these
strips.
Several installers should carefully lift each section of the tabletop and place them on the base / beam
assembly about 12” off center. Care should be taken to make sure tabletop sections are securely supported
until they can be attached to the base assembly. The sections will need to be spread apart about 12" to
prepare the Tite-Joint Fasteners for assembly.
The Tite-Joint Fastener consists of three parts: the Tightening Nut, the Draw Bolt, and the Locking Sleeve.
Insert the Tightening Nuts into the tabletop halves, alternating halves across the width of the top, with the
threaded ends of the nuts towards the joint. Insert the draw bolts and thread into the nut.
The base/beam assembly will cover some holes. Carefully slide the top half over to one side, balancing it
carefully, to access these holes. Install the nuts and bolts, and then re-center the top.
After all nuts and draw bolts have been installed, carefully line up the other
table top section with the draw bolts, and slide the halves together.
necessary to access
Be certain the set ID numbers on all sections of multiple piece tops are the same.

Insert the locking sleeves so the notch in the sleeve engages the rounded portion of the draw bolt.
At this time, only install the locking sleeves in those locations that are accessible (the sleeves for the center
bolts will be installed later).
Tighten the nuts using a nail set. Tighten the nuts to the point where they are friction-tight only.
Carefully slide the two connected top halves over to one side, and install the locking sleeves in the remaining
holes as described above. Make sure the top assembly is well supported during this process.
Beginning with the center Tite-Joints, slowly tighten the nuts completely, making sure the center two feet of
the top is leveled and aligned.
Center the top assembly back into the final location on the base assembly, and continue tightening nuts
while leveling and aligning the top sections.
A rubber mallet can used to aid in leveling the top sections, provided that care is taken not to damage the
top.

12. Installing Bombay doors
The Bombay doors are shipped inside the base cartons. They should be installed with the buttons facing
toward the closest end of the table.
Each Bombay door has four tabs that should be depressed when installing so as not to damage the table
top.
Set the door assembly into place and depress each of the four tabs while inserting that corner into the top.
When all four tabs are inside the top, press the whole assembly into place until it clicks.
To remove the door assembly, you can grasp the entire assembly and pull it loose from the top by
defeating the tabs, then pulling the assembly from the table.

APPENDIX A: OPTIONAL FLOOR MONUMENT KIT
If the optional Floor Monument Kit is supplied, install it over the floor monument and cords. Cut
out the grommet in the base door and run wires and cables through the grommet. Insert the
end of the Cord Conduit into the grommet opening (”friction fit”).
