PANELS & CONNECTORS
A panel run is any combination of two or more panels connected in a
straight line�
Panels mounted at right angles to panel runs are called support panels�
The minimum height for support panels should not be less than half the
height of the tallest panel in the panel run� (Example: An 85” high panel
run should have a minimum of a 47” support panel)
Load bearing walls, also known as structural walls, are constructed of
materials such as poured concrete, concrete block or drywall, properly
attached to metal or wood studs� Drywall must be at least 5/8” thick� Wall
must be restrained at the oor and ceiling, and should be no more than
24” on center or 14’ high� Under no circumstances does Friant accept
responsibility for determination of the structural integrity of a load bearing
wall�
A loaded panel run is any panel run that has product component of any
kind attached to it� Also known as “load bearing side of a panel wall”�
