Beam Applications
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Table supporting structures - BEAMS Legs are connected with supporting beams.
There is one beam for a single line of tables while two beams connect back 2 back
table structures. There are three types of beams whose application principles are
common to building support for single-line and back 2 back table assemblies:
Single table beam Designed to bridge two legs to form support for a single
table, or for two back 2 back work surfaces.
End of run table beam Supports table leg assemblies at the end of a table run,
with legs on one side tucked under the work surface. Longer by 2” than the
Single table Beam, thereby positioning one leg assembly so that it supports 2
adjoining work surfaces.
Interconnecting table beam A typical, multiple surface run begins with an End of
run beam, continues with Interconnecting beam(s) and finishes with another End
of run beam. Also, applies to multiple, back 2 back Assemblies.
Interconnecting beam is designed to bridge space between two table assem-
blies. Because the interconnecting beam is 4” longer than the standard beam,
it spreads supporting legs apart so that both could be shared by adjacent
worksurfaces.
Telescopic table beam Supports a return connected perpendicularly to a 24” or
30” deep primary work surface. The Telescopic beam is connected to a single
or back 2 back leg on one side and to any work surface-supporting beam on the
opposite side.
Storage table beam adapter Connects to Storage table beam. This assembly
allows a work surface to be supported by a leg on one side and a spine (formed
by interconnected storage cabinets) on the opposite side.
Storage table beam The Storage beam is connected to a single or back 2 back
leg on one side and to the work surface on the opposite side - thus saving one
leg assembly work surface is connected to storage units with included storage
brackets). Storage table beam’s flexibility allows for a single table application
(with the table leg tucked in under the work surface) as well as for a double table
installation (two adjacent tables supported by a shared leg in the middle and two
storage cabinets at the opposite ends).

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Telescopic Beam
Designed to provide support for worksurfaces perpendicularly connected to a primary
table run. The telescopic beam is connected to the leg’s horizontal, rectangular tube
on one side, while the opposite side is secured off module to the perpendicular,
central beam and can be adjusted to accommodate 24” and 30” deep primary
worksurfaces.
STEP 1: Position beam’s end bracket over leg’s horizontal, rectangular tube.
STEP 2: Secure top and bottom bracket ends with two supplied screws.
STEP 3: Adjust the length of the telescopic beam in accordance with the depth of
primary worksurface. Completely contracted beam will support perpendicular side
table connected to 24” deep primary worksurface on Round and Rectangular legs.
Middle position is intended to support perpendicular side table connected to 30”
deep primary worksurface on Round legs. Fully extended telescopic beams supports
perpendicular side table connected to 30” deep primary worksurface on Rectangular
legs.
STEP 4: Position end bracket of the telescopic beam over the primary, perpendicular
beam. Level the whole assembly.
STEP 5: Install primary worksurface.
STEP 6: Secure the secondary worksurface to legs first.
STEP 7: Adjust the secondary worksurface/telescopic beam position.
STEP 8: Secure the worksurfaces with flat brackets.

Storage table beam’s flexibility allows for a single table application (with the table
leg tucked in under the work surface) as well as for a double table installation
(two adjacent tables supported by a shared leg in the middle (A) and two storage
cabinets at the opposite ends).
STEP 1: Position beam’s end bracket over leg’s horizontal, rectangular tube. Use
Allen keys to secure top and bottom bracket ends with two supplied screws.
Level the whole assembly.
STEP 2: Turn the work surface upside down on a smooth surface and secure it to
the leg/beam subassembly with supplied screws.
STEP 3: Mount two L brackets to the side of Storage tower. Drive two supplied
machine screws through the brackets into threaded inserts embedded in the stor-
age tower side panel.
STEP 4: Place the Storage tower in its final location and position the leg/beam/
work surface assembly so that the work surface rests on the installed L brackets.
Ensure that the work surface and the tower are aligned.
Secure the work surface to the L brackets with supplied screws.
Storage Table Beam
Storage table beam adapter allows a work surface to be supported by a leg on
one side and a spine storage cabinet on the opposite side. A typical Storage
spine is formed by series of interconnected 21” or 25” high storage cabinets of
corresponding depth.
The Storage beam is connected to a single or back-2-back leg on one side and to
the work surface on the opposite side - thus saving one leg assembly.
The 21” or 25” adapters provide structural support - acting as supports between
top of the storage cabinet spine and the bottom of perpendicular work surfaces.
The flexible leg/beam/adapter assembly arrangement allows the leg to be tucked
in under the work surface or to be shared by two adjacent work surfaces.
Included hardware connects the adapter to the worksurface and to the storage
table beam.
STEP 1: Position beam’s end bracket over leg’s horizontal, rectangular tube. Use
Allen keys to secure top and bottom bracket ends with two supplied screws.
STEP 2: Attach Spine / Storage table beam adapter to the Storage table beam. Use
Allen key and the supplied screw to secure.
STEP 3: Turn the work surface upside down on a smooth surface and secure it to
the leg/beam/adapter subassembly with supplied screws.
STEP 4: Rest the leg/beam/adapter/work surface assembly on top of the storage
spine. Adjust the desired position. Secure the assembly by driving two supplied
screws through the bottom of the adapter, into the top of the storage cabinet.

Sliding Return
NOTE:
Round legs:
Sliding Return can be installed anywhere along the front edge of work sur-
face supported by round legs.
Rectangular legs:
Sliding Return can be installed along the front edge of work surface between
Rectangular legs.
Sliding return can be installed under a seam of two adjacent work surfaces
supported by recessed, 34” back 2 back leg.
Ensure that back-to-back table installation is complete, level and structurally
sound. Installation of Sliding Rail requires a special degree of accuracy of work
surface alignment. Failure to do so may result in binding of the sliding mecha-
nism on the Sliding Rail.
Establish range of the Sliding Return.
STEP 1: Mark a line 3” in from (and parallel with) the front edge of work
surface.
STEP 2: Position the Sliding Rail and secure it with supplied screws. Always pro-
ceed from the second hole, leaving the first hole for installation of the Rail stop.
NOTE: the pair of screws provided to secure the rubber rail stops at either
end of the rail are longer than the screws for securing the rail to the work
surface. Do not use these longer screws to secure the rail as the screws may
penetrate through the top of the work surface.
STEP 3: Secure leg support bracket to a leg frame with supplied machine
screws (wide flat allen head).
STEP 4: Place the Sliding Return work surface upside down on a clean surface.
Secure the leg assembly to the work surface with supplied wood screws.
Ensure that the legs are set to the same height as the legs supporting the rest
of the table installation.
STEP 5: Place eight supplied rubber spacers over pre-drilled holes. If you are
converting an existing Return work surface to a Sliding Return, mark a line 1”
in from (and parallel with) the edge of the Return work surface.
STEP 6: Align supporting brackets with rubber spacers / pre-drilled holes (or
the marked line) and secure both brackets with supplied wood screws.
NOTE: In order to ensure a smooth sliding action, both brackets must be
perfectly perpendicular to the edge of the return work surface.
STEP 7: Slide the two glide blocks with bushings carefully onto the Rail as
illustrated.
STEP 8: This step requires two people:
While the leg supported side of the Return rests on the floor have an assistant
position supporting brackets under sliding glide blocks, align the holes and
gently drive in two machine screws (metric M6 as provided). Do not tighten. In
the same manner secure the second bracket to the second glide block and test
smoothness of the slide. Carefully tighten all four metric screws while repeat-
edly testing smoothness of the slide. If the return binds on the Sliding Rail, then
your support bracket(s) are not perpendicular to the rail - causing the
glide blocks to jam.
STEP 9: Secure rail stops to both ends of the rail with supplied (longer) screws
to prevent disengagement.

STEP 1: Position each individual leg’s end bracket over the main leg’s horizontal,
rectangular tube.
STEP 2: Secure top and bottom bracket ends with the supplied screws. Level the
whole assembly.
STEP 3: Install round worksurface.
Round and oval pivoting table structure consists of one main leg, leg bracket and a
pivoting clamp. Place oval worksurface upside down on a clean surface.
STEP 1: Align clamp over pre-drilled holes.
STEP 2: Rotate pivoting clamp over disc to reveal screw holes and drive in 4 supplied
screws (the clamp must be rotated 90º degrees to reveal the next screw hole).
STEP 3: Secure leg support bracket to leg with two screws.
STEP 4: Secure leg support bracket/leg assembly to worksurface with five supplied
screws.
STEP 5: Increase leg height by 2” (two increments) to compensate for the height of
the pivoting clamp. Rectangular legs (included in BRTPR2448C kit) designed specifi-
cally for this application are 2” taller.
Invert the table assembly.
STEP 6: Position table with pivoting bracket over the edge of the primary table as
illustrated.

Power delivery / cable management
At the basic level, table and floor based office equipment is serviced by a wall or floor
power supply. As the operation grows, there might be a need to organize excessive
cable clutter.
Wire basket (1) connects to the underside of worksurfaces with sprig brackets and
cables are simply dropped and coiled into them.
Cable Snake(2) installed in proximity of floor monument to manage vertical cable
clutter.
Table clamped, single circuit Desk Top Power Data Modules (3) deliver services to
desk height, while tapping into wall or floor power supply. Again, the excessive cables
can be managed with Cable Trays.
Power Tower and Power Pole (4) deliver up to four circuits either from the floor or
ceiling power sources. When combined with Desk Top Power Data Modules, this
power could be distributed further horizontally, at desk level.
Ceiling pole BRTCPP (5) manages power and data cables between ceiling and above
or below worksurface power troughs.
Above and Below Worksurface Power/Data Troughs (6) can be installed between back
2 back tables for extended below and above desk height power/data distribution.
- 8 wire, 4-circuit system.
Single Sided Power/Data Troughs (7) can be installed to the underside of a single table.
Elevated storage units provide access to floor raceway power duplexes and data
terminals (8).
Some storage units can be connected to panel vertical slots and those allow to open
and access panel floor raceway.
Storage power/data box BRTVCM (9) attaches to storage units and provides access to
one duplex/data terminal on top storage surface. Integrated single circuit module can
be plugged to floor monument under the storage, to a wall outlet or to a panel floor
raceway duplex receptacle.

Wire Basket
8” wide basket manages cable excess under single and back 2 back work
surfaces, as well as under storage cabinets. It is suspended on four spring steel
brackets so it can be easily unclipped to rearrange cable connections from below
the work surface or below storage units.
Wire baskets are available in incremental sizes, usually about 8” shorter then the
intended work surface / storage span.
STEP 1) Identify the correct basket length. Attach supplied spring brackets on
the basket as illustrated so that the hooks point inward. Center the basket below
work surface.
STEP 2) Secure by driving supplied screws through the four brackets into the
work surface.
Storage cabinet installation: bottoms of storage cabinets are provided with
pre-drilled holes. Attach supplied spring brackets on the basket so that the hooks
point inward. Secure the baskets by driving supplied screws through the four
brackets into the storage cabinet’s bottom.
Long Wire Baskets can span under several storage cabinets. As a general rule,
specify Cable Basket min. 8” shorter then the storage cabinet spine assembly.
NOTE: Install dividers, storage and table top accessories prior to proceeding with the
installation of below surface power trough.
A) SUPPORTING STRUCTURE
Identify length and location of required Power Troughs and position them in ac-
cordance with lay-out plans. Install brackets on Power Troughs. Make sure that all
Power Troughs are securely connected before proceeding with installation of electrical
components.
B) ELECTRIC COMPONENTS
Identify type and location of required electrical components and position them in
accordance with lay-out plans. Secure Power Feed to the Power Trough brackets
(ensure that the liquid tight whip is long enough to reach the power source / floor
monument. Proceed with connecting Power Distribution Assemblies and Jumper
Harnesses on the ground, just below their future location. Install Duplex Receptacles
as specified. Secure interconnected electrical components to Power Trough.
C) DATA/COMMUNICATION
Arrange cables below their future location into bundles under the tables. Install cable
terminals and snap Terminal Plates into the openings in the middle of Power Trough.
Proceed from one side of the table assembly, lift cable bundles and secure them to the
Power Trough with extruded Data Cable Manager.
D) CONNECT TO THE BUILDING POWER SUPPLY
It is recommended that the connection to the building power supply be made under
the supervision of a licensed electrician and according to applicable codes and regula-
tions. Connection to the building power supply must be done by a licensed electrician.
Do not connect or disconnect components while the system is under load. Disconnect
the main power before servicing or reconfiguration.

STEP 1: Install four brackets (two pairs of left and right brackets are required). Below
work surface Power troughs are provided with 4 pairs of mounting holes to accom-
modate the brackets at various table leg positions.
Two of back-to-back tables use narrower supporting beams and the legs on both
sides are, therefore, inset below work surfaces. To fit the Trough and brackets into this
narrower space use a pair of mounting holes “B - B” to secure below work surface
Power Trough to a single assembly of two of back-to-back tables.
A back-to-back table assembly at the beginning of a multiple table run employs
slightly longer supporting beams to accommodate the legs on the ‘start-of-a-run’ side
to be inset below work surfaces, and the shared leg to be right below the seam of
two adjacent work surfaces. Use a pair of mounting holes “B” to secure brackets to
the Power Trough on the ‘start-of-a-run’ side, use the pair of mounting holes “A” to
secure brackets to the Power Trough on the ‘shared’ leg side.
A back-to-back table assembly in the middle of a multiple table run employs the lon-
gest, interconnecting supporting beams - placing shared legs right under the seams
of adjacent work surfaces on both sides.
Use mounting holes “A” on both sides to secure brackets to the Power Trough.
Position the Power Trough over the brackets so that threaded studs on the brackets pro-
trude through the holes in the Power Trough. Secure brackets with supplied thumb nuts.
