making sure that it is fully seated.
STEP 5: Position the Panel Extension Module on top of the desired, cor-
responding panel and against the Corner Post Extension.
STEP 6: Connect the top of the Corner Post Extension to the Panel Exten-
sion Module by engaging the single clamp through the slotted post and

Inline Connection - Variable Height
Parts List
1 Slotted post with levelling glide
2 Variable-height clamps
A Variable-Height Connector is used to connect two panels of diering heights in a
straight run.
A Variable-Height Connector must match the height of the taller panel.
STEP 1: Partially attach a same-height slotted post to one end of the panel to be
installed. Do this by engaging the down-hook at the bottom of the panel (above
the raceway channel) over the up-hook on the slotted post.
STEP 2: Partially attach the slotted post to the taller panel by engaging the
down-hook at the bottom of the panel (above the raceway channel) over the up-
hook on the slotted post.
STEP 3: Connect the taller panel to the slotted post by engaging the single vari-
able height clamp through the slotted post and into the panel liner. Secure the
single clamp by bolting it to the panel using two (2) 1/2” flat head screws.
STEP 4: Partially attach the lower panel by engaging the down-hook at the bot-
tom of the panel (above the raceway channel) over the up-hook on the opposite
side slotted post.
STEP 5: Connect the top of the lower panel to the slotted post by engag- ing the
variable-height clamp through the slotted post. Rotate the variable-height clamp
down onto the top horizontal tube of the panel. Secure the variable-height clamp
by bolting it to the top of the panel using two (2) 1/2” flat head screws.
STEP 6: Add spacer clips.
STEP 7: Reattach the panel top caps.
Notched Top Cap - For PVC Top trim Only

Inline Connection - Panel Extension Module
Parts List
1 Non-slotted post with attached aluminum inserter
2 Variable-height clamps
An Inline Panel Extension Connector is used to attach the panel
extension modules to the top of an existing run of panels. The
combination of one 66” panel and three 12” Panel Extension
Modules has been tested and U.L. approved. Special care should
be taken to ensure stability when exceed- ing 90” in height.
STEP 1: Remove the double clamp that bridges the two panels.
STEP 2: Reconnect the top of the panels to the slotted post by
engaging the variable-height clamps through either side of the
slotted post. Rotate the variable-height clamps downward and
bolt each to a panel using two 1/2” flat head screws.
STEP 3: Insert the Inline Extension Connector into the existing
Inline Connector, making sure that it is fully seated. Option A
a) Repeat 1 through 4 along the top of the panel run
where the Panel Extension Modules
are required.
b) Slide the Panel Extension Modules down between the
Inline Extension Connectors.
c) Connect the two panels and Inline Connector by en-
gaging the double clamp through the
slotted post and into the panel liner.
d) Secure the double clamp by bolting it to the Panel
Extension Module using four
(4) 1/2” flat head screws.
e) Add spacer clips.
f) Reattach the panel top caps.
Option B: Where the Panel Extension Modules are close to the
ceiling, the installation must be accomplished progressively. e.g.
post – panel – post – etc.

screws in the blocks below must be loos-
ened first. After removing the Top Trim, the
blocks can be slid to the side, to remove and
reuse.
STEP 4:Place the Seal (#5) over each hole,
and seal (#7) in middle, in the Top Trim
extrusion channel, symmetrically so the
cutouts align with the top of the extrusion
channel, and the same amount sticks above
the extrusion on each side.
STEP 5: Align glass evenly within the chan-
nel.
STEP 6: Push Privacy Glass down firmly and
evenly into the channel.
STEP 7: Using an exacto knife, cut the ex-
cess material on the Seal (#5) that is stick-

Door Panel Installation
STEP 1: The door is ordered with either a left or a right swing. Check layout
for proper placement and swing. It can be easily changed on site from one
side to another. Please see the instructions below.
STEP 2: Attach door panel to an existing run as you would any other panel.
Door must be in the closed position (inside the frame) during installation.
STEP 3: Level the door using glides on the connectors.
Ensure that the door frame is spread out to maximum width at the thresh-
old before locking.
There is no lateral adjustment of the threshold.
Door MUST be perfectly level and square to work properly.
STEP 5: Install lever hardware.
STEP 6: Upon completion of door installation, check entire installation to
ensure all panel to panel connectors are in place for a structurally sound
wall and door unit. What to do if door is not closing properly:
STEP 1: Door MUST be perfectly level and square.
STEP 2: Ensure that the door frame is spread out to maximum width at the
threshold before locking.
STEP 3: Ensure the hinges that are attached to the door are fl ush with the
edge of the door. If this is not the case, solid doors can be turned upside
down, hinges and lever can be reversed.
