Beam Applications
Legs are connected with supporting beams. There is one beam for a single line
of tables while two beams connect back-to-back table structures. Adjustable
clamps at either end of the beam can be adjusted to accommodate the following
applications in both single table as well as back-to-back table configurations.
STANDARD TABLE BEAM
Single table beam application (1)
Designed to bridge two legs to form support for a single table, or for two back-to-
back worksurfaces Adjustable clamps at either end of the beam are pushed all the
way in to allow both table legs to be tucked under the worksurface.
1
1
End of run table beam application (2)
Supports one table leg assembly tucked under the worksurface (one adjustable
clamp pushed all the way in), while the other table leg assembly can be shared
between two adjacent worksurfaces (adjustable clamp pulled out to extend the
beam).
2
Interconnecting table beam application (3)
Supports both table leg assemblies extended to support adjacent worksurfaces on
either side. Adjustable clamps at either end of the beam are pushed all the way in
to allow both table legs to be tucked under the worksurface. Single table beam
application supports single table leg assemblies with legs on both sides tucked
under the worksurface.
3
TELESCOPIC TABLE BEAM (4)
Supports a return connected perpendicularly to a 24” or 30” deep primary
worksurface. The Telescopic beam is connected to a single or back-to-back leg on
one side and to any worksurface supporting beam on the opposite side. Telescopic
beam clamp allows the table leg to be tucked under the worksurface or shared
between two adjacent worksurfaces.
4
STORAGE TABLE BEAM (5)
The Storage beam is connected to a single or back-to-back leg on one side and to
the worksurface on the opposite side - thus saving one leg assembly. Assembly
worksurface 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 worksurface) 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.
6
5
STORAGE TABLE BEAM ADAPTER (6)
Connects to a storage table beam. This assembly allows a worksurface to be
supported by a leg on one side and a spine (formed by interconnected storage
cabinets) on the opposite side.

Supporting Structure Round Leg Height Adjustment
Set the legs to desired height.
The inner leg has two threaded holes.
STEP 1: The top threaded hole is typically used to secure legs with levelers.
STEP 2: The lower threaded hole is used for securing legs with casters.
STEP 3: If the desired top surface height is 29” from the floor, for instance, and the table
structure is to be on levelers, align top threaded hole in the inner leg (1) with the
fourth hole in the table leg (3) as illustrated. When installing legs on casters,
align the lower (2) threaded hole in the inner leg with the same fourth hole (3) in
the table leg and secure with provided screws.
STEP 4: The height adjustment screws must be only used with the provided, translucent
cup/washer.

Supporting Legs and Beams
Table legs are connected to the table supporting beams with die cast aluminum adjustable clamps. The
position of these clamps on the beam establishes whether the leg is going to be shared between two
adjacent worksurfaces (extended position) or tucked under a worksurface edge (retracted position).
STEP 1: Identify type and length of beam required. A single table, for instance will have both legs tucked
under the worksurface and both end brackets, therefore, will be fully contracted. End of run table
applications will require one of the beam brackets extended so that the leg it will be connected
to could be shared between two adjacent worksurfaces (while the leg on the opposite end of the
beam will be tucked under the worksurface at the end of a table run). Similarly, fully extending
both beam brackets will allow both table legs to be shared.
STEP 2: In order to adjust beam bracket position, remove both countersunk Allen head screws from the
beam clamp assembly. End of supporting beam tube can be seen through the gap between the
two beam clamp parts (A). Lines on the bottom part identify two clamp positions. Slide the top
part of the clamp along the beam into the desired position, enclose assembly with the bottom
clamp part and tighten the countersunk Allen head screws.

Storage table beam adapter allows a worksurface 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-to-back leg on one side and to the
worksurface 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 worksurfaces.
The flexible leg/beam/adapter assembly arrangement allows the leg to be tucked in
under the worksurface or to be shared by two adjacent worksurfaces. 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 worksurface 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/worksurface 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.

1”
NOTE:
Round legs:
Sliding Return can be installed anywhere along the front edge of worksurface
supported by round legs.
Rectangular legs:
Sliding Return can be installed along the front edge of worksurface between
Rectangular legs.
Sliding return can be installed under a seam of two adjacent worksurfaces
supported by recessed, 34” back-to-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 worksurface
alignment. Failure to do so may result in binding of the sliding mechanism 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 worksurface.
STEP 2: Position the Sliding Rail and secure it with supplied screws. Always proceed
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
worksurface. Do not use these longer screws to secure the rail as the screws
may penetrate through the top of the worksurface.
STEP 3: Secure leg support bracket to a leg frame with supplied machine screws (wide
flat allen head).
STEP 4: Place the Sliding Return worksurface upside down on a clean surface. Secure
the leg assembly to the worksurface 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 worksurface to a Sliding Return, mark a line 1”
in from (and parallel with) the edge of the Return worksurface.
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 worksurface.
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
repeatedly 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.

Long Wire Baskets can span under several storage cabinets. As a general rule, specify
Cable Basket min. 8” shorter than the storage cabinet spine assembly.
Below Worksurface Power Trough
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 accordance
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

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 regulations.
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.
E) WALK THROUGH / INSTALLATION INSPECTION
Below Worksurface Power Trough Installation
STEP 1: Install four brackets (two pairs of left and right brackets are required).
Below worksurface Power troughs are provided with 4 pairs of mounting holes to
accommodate the brackets at various table leg positions.
Two back-to-back tables use narrower supporting beams and the legs on both
sides are, therefore, inset below worksurfaces. To fit the Trough and brackets
into this narrower space, use a pair of mounting holes “B - B” to secure below
worksurface Power Trough to a single assembly of two 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 worksurfaces, and the shared leg to be right below the
seam of two adjacent worksurfaces. 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
A
B

A back-to-back table assembly in the middle of a multiple table run employs the
longest, interconnecting supporting beams - placing shared legs right under the
seams of adjacent worksurfaces 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
protrude through the holes in the Power Trough. Secure brackets with supplied
thumb nuts. NOTE: Ensure that trough ends are equidistant from worksurface
ends.
