LAB TABLE FRAME ASSEMBLY FOR LAMINATE OR HARDWOOD WORKSURFACES
Step 1:
Attach beam connector plates to the ends of the bench support beams using the 5/16-18 x .75 hex head bolts
and 1/4 flat washers supplied as shown. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE HARDWARE.
Step 2:
Place worksurface topside down on smooth flat surface being sure to protect it from damage by foreign
objects. IAC recommends the use of packing type blankets or clean cardboard. Place the support beams on
the worksurface with the open side toward the center of the worksurface and align the slots of the support
beams over the threaded inserts in the worksurface as shown. Use the 1/4-20 x .75 hex head bolts and 1/4
flat washers and thread them into the threaded inserts to attach the beams to the worksurface.
NOTE: DO NOT TIGHTEN THE HARDWARE.

Step 3:
Align the workbench pedestals over the ends of the support beams and lower them down over the beam
connector plates so that the plates are on the inside of the pedestal tubing. Align the slots in the pedestal
support beam over the inserts in the worksurface and thread the 1/4-20 x .75 hex head bolts with the 1/4 flat
washers into the inserts. Tighten the beam connector hardware. The frame should now be aligned on the
worksurface to even the overhangs on the right and left sides tighten the beam attachment and the pedestal
support hardware.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the hardware that goes into the threaded inserts in the worksurface as this could
cause the inserts to pull out of the worksurface.
Step 4:
Slide the lab table frame leg extender into the pedestal leg tube making sure the black plastic insert at the end
of the leg extender is exposed. Align the threads of the leg extender with the holes in the pedestal leg tube
and select the desired height of the bench frame.
NOTE: Remember to count the thickness of your worksurface when making this adjustment.
Thread two sets per leg of 1/4-20 x .75 hex head bolts with the 1/4 flat washers into the holes in the pedestal
leg tube and the threaded leg extender and tighten. Thread the floor glide into the black plastic insert of the
leg extender. The floor glides are used to level the bench when assembly is complete and it is put into
position.
Your lab table frame should be complete and can be turned right side up. Make sure two or more persons are
used to turn frame and worksurface right side up. Move table frame and top to its location and make any
adjustments to the floor glides to make sure the lab table frame is level.
PLEASE NOTE: Always lift bench from the metal frame and never from the worksurface.

LAB TABLE FRAME ASSEMBLY FOR EPOXY OR TRESPA WORKSURFACES
Step 1:
Attach beam connector plates to the ends of the bench support beams using the 5/16-18 x .75 hex head bolts
and 1/4 flat washers supplied as shown. NOTE: DO NOT TIGHTEN THE HARDWARE.
Place the support beams with the attached connector plates, open side toward the center, on a smooth flat
surface being sure to protect them from damage by foreign objects. IAC recommends the use of packing type
blankets or clean cardboard.
Step 2:
Align the workbench pedestals over the ends of the support beams and lower them down over the beam
connector plates so that the plates are on the inside of the pedestal tubing. Tighten the beam connector
hardware on both sides.
Note: The frame should be aligned on the flat surface to make sure all four corners have the pedestal and
beams flush against the flat surface

Step 3: LEG EXTENDER/FIXED HEIGHT PEDESTALS
Slide the lab table frame leg extender into the pedestal leg tube making sure the black plastic insert at the end
of the leg extender is exposed. Align the threads of the leg extender with the holes in the pedestal leg tube
and select the desired height of the bench frame. Thread two sets per leg of 1/4-20 x .75 hex head bolts with
the 1/4 flat washers into the holes in the pedestal leg tube and the threaded leg extender and tighten. Thread
the floor glide into the black plastic insert of the leg extender. The floor glides are used to level the bench
when assembly is complete and it is put into position. Fixed Height pedestals –place the insert that is
provided over bottom of pedestal leg. Using a rubber mallet, or something of force that won’t damage your
items, tap the insert into place. Once the insert has been secured, the floor glide can now be installed.
TABLE TOP INSTALLATION
Step 4:
The frame is now ready to have the table top installed. With some help turn the frame right side up.Before
installing the table top it is very important to make sure suspended cabinets and any other items that are
under the table top are installed and secured. When the table worksurface is installed it is difficult to make
changes.
Check the table top before gluing it down to make sure of its location on the frame is correct. Also make sure
they are not obstructed on the beams or pedestals. When all the double checking is done start by cleaning
the frame and the underside of the worksurface to make sure the two will make a clean seal. Apply several
“Quarter” size drops of silicone along the top of the support beams and the top of the pedestal crossbeams at
about 6” spacing as shown below.
It is not necessary to apply a lot of silicone, when the table top is installed the silicone will spread out.

36"
24"
30"
CAUTION: Epoxy and Trespa table tops are heavy and can be very heavy depending on the overall size. Be
sure there are enough people lifting the table tops during the installation process to avoid injury.
IAC Lab frames a table tops are designed to have the following overhangs:
For 24” deep table tops going on a 24” deep frame the side overhang is 2”, the rear overhang is 1”.
For 30” deep table tops going on a 30” deep frame the side overhang is 2”, the rear overhang is 2 ½”.
For 36” deep table tops going on a 36” deep frame the side overhang is 2”, the rear overhang is 4 ½”.
It is a good idea to tape, or somehow mark the underside of the table top with these dimensions in order to
make is easier to install the table tops properly.
These dimensions can be very important depending on the type options ordered or to be retro-fitted to the
table frames at a later date.
