Mounting Bracket Attachment
Note: Mounting brackets for
different panel systems are attached
to the overhead in the same manner.
Depending on the panel system and
attachment type, a set of brackets
may consist of one left-hand and one
right-hand bracket or two
non-handed brackets.
1. Carefully set assembled overhead
on either end, on a soft surface to
prevent damage. Handed brackets
should be assembled so the toothed
flange of the mounting bracket
is flush with the overhead side.
Non-handed brackets should be
assembled so either end of bracket is
flush with the overhead side.
2. Engage the offset tab of the mounting
bracket into the slot along the back
of the overhead. Align the mounting
bracket hole with the hole in the
bottom of the overhead and fasten
with one 5/16-18 x 1/2” machine screw.
Repeat at the other end of overhead
(Figure 1).
3. Hang the overhead unit onto
the panel using the appropriate
mounting instructions for the system.
Note: An alternative installation
method may be used for overhead
units on all panel systems. Hang
the brackets onto the panel system
prior to attaching the brackets
to the overhead unit. Refer to
instructions of panel-mounted units
for information on attaching brackets
to panels. Hook the offset tab of the
bracket into the slot on the back of
the overhead, allowing the overhead
to fully engage the bracket. Align the
hole in mounting bracket to the hole
in the overhead bottom and fasten
with one 5/16-18 x 1/2” machine screw.
Repeat on other end of overhead unit.

On-Module Mounted
Overhead Units
1. The On-module mounting brackets
have integral teeth that engage the
vertical furniture hanging slots in the
panel frame. Locate the on-module
overhead unit at the height that is
desired on the panel. Engage the
upturned tooth of the top hook
(circled) into the panel frame by
holding the cabinetbottom out about
30°, then rotate the unit to engage
all the remaining teeth. When all
teeth are engaged, press down on the
cabinet to lock in place (Figure 2).
Caution: To remove the overhead
unit from the panel, push the bottom
of the cabinet straight up about 1/4”
and rotate the bottom out toward
you to about 30°. Pull the overhead
straight out and down. Do not force
the side panel, damage to the top
tooth may result.

WireWorks®Off-Module Mounted
Overhead Units
1. WireWorks off-module overhead
units can only be hung with the top
aligned to a 12” high tile. To make
hanging the unit easier, remove the
top cap or tile directly above the top
of the overhead.
2. Disengage the overhead locks on the
mounting brackets by lifting the tabs
closest to the back of the overhead
and pulling it toward the cabinet.
With the overhead locks pulled out
toward the front of the cabinet, hang
the top and bottom of the mounting
brackets into the tracks of the panel’s
horizontal rail.
Caution: Make sure the cabinet is
hanging on the horizontal track and
not on the tile.
3. After the unit is hung in the track,
move it to the desired position by
gently lifting up while sliding it.
Secure the cabinet on the tracks by
pushing the overhead locks toward
the track (Figure 3).

Load Bar Mounted Overhead Units
1. To hang overhead units on a load bar,
rotate the bottom of the overhead unit
out approximately 30° and hook the
load bar mounting bracket onto the
top of the load bar. Rotate overhead
down until unit is secured in place
(Figure 4).
Note: Use the same procedure for
installing overhead units to load bars
on standard walls as with load bars
mounted to panel walls.

Upmount Bracket
1. Position brackets on a 54” high
WireWorks panel with the top tooth
(antidislodgement) engaged in
the sixth slot from the top of the
uppermost tile so there is a 43/4”
space between the top of the tile
and the top of the bracket. This will
position the bottom of the balance
cabinet at 20” above a 29” high
worksurface (Figure 5).

Flexible WorkSpace™ Mounted
Overhead Units
1. The mounting bracket for Flexible
WorkSpace has a formed flange that
is hooked into an aluminum channel
at the top of each panel. These
flanges are offset to allow overhead
units to be hung from a panel in a
back-to-back manner (Figure 7).
2. Engage the flange of the mounting
brackets into the groove at the top of
the panel by holding the unit bottom
out approximately 30°, then rotate
down until unit is secured in place
(Figure 7).
Note: The 42” overhead unit is
the only size available for Flexible
WorkSpace and can only be hung
centered on a 44” panel.
Caution: The aluminum channel of
the Flexible WorkSpace panel must
be oriented at the top of the panel
prior to hanging any overhead.

Task Light Installation
1. Reference Figure 8 below to identify
the left- and right-hand brackets,
as well as four 8-32 x 1/4” tapping
screws within the bracket kit
(Figure 8).
Note: The electrical cord from the
task light must face to the rear of the
cabinet as illustrated when the task
light is installed.
2. One side at a time, position the
appropriate bracket as illustrated
(lever toward the center of the fixture)
to the task light unit and align the
mounting holes in the bracket with
the holes on the top of the task light
unit. Secure each bracket using two
8-32 x 1/4” tapping screws (Figure 8).
3. Before installing the task light to
the cabinet, insert the electrical cord
plug through the middle square
hole in the overhead trough back as
illustrated (Figure 9).
4. Hook the task light assembly
brackets into the slots in the
trough under the cabinet which are
appropriate for the size of overhead
unit and light (Figure 9).
Note: The length of the task light
does not have to match the size of
the overhead unit. Shorter lights may
be installed at the center point of the
cabinet or either side of center as
allowed by the slot locations.
5. After brackets are in place, rotate
levers on brakets upwards to lock the
task light in place.
6. Once the cord is routed
appropriately, plug it into a 120 volt,
60 HZ, grounded outlet. Excess cord
may be stored in the trough located
inside the overhead.
Caution: Be sure task light
assembly brackets are fully engaged
onto the overhead unit. Failure to
assemble properly or to secure parts
may result in assembly failure and
injury.

Tack Board & Tool Rail
Attachment Bar to Balance
Overhead with On-Module
Mounting Bracket
Note: Overhead units installed
to panel systems with on-module
mounting brackets may utilize a
tack board or tool rail which is
attached directly to the overhead via
an attachment bar assembled to the
overhead unit (Figure 10).
1. To install attachment bar to
on-module mounting bracket, locate
and loosen the two 5/16-18 x 1/2”
screws which attach the mounting
brackets to the underside of the
Balance overhead unit. Turn each
screw out about 1/8” to allow for
installation (Figure 10).
2. Orient the attachment bar as
illustrated, align the slots in the
attachment bar with the loosened
screws and slide into place.
Re-tighten the two screws to secure
attachment bar in place (Figure 10).

mounting bracket may utilize a tack
board or tool rail which is installed
to an attachment bar. The attachment
bar is secured to the load bar
mounting bracket of the overhead
(Figure 11).
1. To install attachment bar to the load
bar mounting bracket as illustrated,
first twist in two 5/16-18 x 1/2” screws
at the location illustrated such that a
1/8” gap is left under the head of both
screws (Figure 11).
2. Orient the attachment bar as
illustrated, align the slots in the
attachment bar with the two screws
from step 1 and slide attachment bar
into place. Tighten the two screws
to secure attachment bar in place
(Figure 11).

Shelf Divider Installation
1. Orient the shelf divider as illustrated.
Place the shelf divider front hook into
the front slot of the overhead shelf.
Rotate the back of the shelf divider
down to engage it into the slot in the
overhead back (Figure 12).
2. To remove divider, reverse the above
steps.
Ganging Plate Installation
Note: When overhead units are
installed side-by-side on a panel
system, a ganging plate must be
installed between overheads to avoid
bowing of panel system.
1. Orient ganging plate as illustrated
under pair of overhead units and use
two 5/16-18 x 1/2” screws to secure
plate to underside of overhead units
(Figure 13).
