General Overview
Stretch™ benching is a modular system designed to be easy to install and specify
as well as being easily re-congured. At the core of the system are the legs and cable
trays., which are able to extend or retract to accommodate multiple work surface
lengths without specifying additional components. The whole system can be
assembled with two allen wrenches and a drill with a phillips head driver.
NOTE: BECAUSE STRETCH IS AN ADJUSTABLE WIDTH SYSTEM IT IS IM-
PORTANT TO LEAVE ALL FASTENING SCREWS ON WORKSURFACES AND CA-
BLE TRAYS LOOSE UNTIL ALL WORKSURFACES HAVE BEEN PLACED AND
SCREEN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED . ONCE ALL COMPONENTS
ARE ALIGNED, SECURELY TIGHTEN ALL SCREWS.
