4. Position the privacy screen and
screen-to-table bracket assembly
flush with the rear edge of the
worksurface leaving 1” space
between front surface of the
screen frame and side edge of the
worksurface. Using the brackets as
a template, mark the four attachment
screw hole locations on the
worksurface.
5. Carefully bore four 1/8” diameter pilot
holes at the center of each marked
location, underneath the worksurface
using a cordless power drill. Take
care to not drill too deep, piercing
the worksurface. Drill pilot holes 1/2”
to 3/4” deep.
6. Attach the privacy screen and
screen-to-table bracket assembly to
the worksurface using four #12 x 1”

between the back of the leg and the
bracket. Attach to each standard
leg using two 1/4-20 x 1/2” hex head
screws (Figure 8 & Details B & C).
For three leg desks, cross brace
and wire trough have a bent tab on
one end for attaching to the post leg.
Slide the cross brace or wire trough
bent tap into the opening between
the back of the leg and the bracket.
Attach using two 1/4-20 x 1/2” hex
head screws (Figure 9 & Detail D).
