Panel Frame Overview
Note: If installing stacking sections
onto a pre-existing Unite Panel
System proceed to "Stacking
Sections - Overview" instructions on
page 67.
Unite Panel System frames ship
to the site as welded structures of
various heights and widths. Panel
frames easily connect to each other,
using a single size bolt/washer/nut.
Connections at intersections require
two or three connector blocks. Each
frame has two height-adjustable
glides pre-installed at the base of the
frame to help level the panel system.
The frame assembly becomes the
structure for attaching tiles, trim,
power/data components, storage
and many other accessories.
Your space-planning layout outlines
the panel type, and configuration.
This installation manual instructs
how to assemble the Unite Panel
components into a panel system.
Unite Panel System uses two panel
frame designs, the “Elevated Base
Frame” and the “Raceway Base
Frame” (Figure 1). Assembled and
installed, the Elevated Base Frames
have a 6” opening under the lower
horizontal rail, between the vertical
posts. Raceway Base Frames have
brackets installed under the lower
horizontal rail. Brackets are used for
mounting 10-wire rigid wireways
and base raceway trim to the frames.
Raceway trim fill the 6” opening to
the floor and allow for power and
data outlets.
Intersection Connection
Overview
For simplicity, all Unite frame
intersections are secured using one
bolt size: 3/8-16 x 11/4” hex head
bolt (48.0115). All intersection
connections use this same bolt. A
3/8-16 k-lock nut and flat washer is
used in some situations (Figure 2).
Connector Block with Spacer
Plate Overview
All intersection and some in-line
intersections require the use of
connector blocks. Connector blocks
attach to the panel frame using a
single 3/8-16 x 11/4” hex head bolt
(48-0115) and a flat washer.
Important: Connector blocks are
now pre-assembled with spacer
plates at each of the four faces.
When attaching the connector block
to a frame, it is important that the
spacer plate be left in the “up”
position. The spacer plates maintain
the 31/2” standard modularity of the
Unite panel system. When installing
trim, the spacer plates must be bent
straight “down” so the trim can sit
flush with the connector block.
Reconguration: If an intersection
must be reconfigured; the spacer
plate can be lifted “up” and returned
flush with the connector block.
End-of-Run Clips Overview
Trim, installed at the end of frames,
connect to end-of-run trim clips
which must be installed prior to
installing tiles. End-of-run trim clips
attach to frame ends using a single
3/8-16 x 3/4” hex head bolt and 3/8-16
K-Lock nut per clip (Figure 2).

Panel Frames - Intersection
Assembly
Important: It is very important to
level the panel system. Know and
mark all high and low spots on
the floor, and make sure to twist
adjustable glides out appropriate
to floor conditions. Always begin
assembling frames together at the
highest point of an un-even floor,
with the glides adjusted 1/2” from
the base of the frame.
Note: If stacking sections are
specified, different guidelines
apply for the placement of
connector blocks. See pages 9
& 10.
1. Assembly of Unite Panel System
frames should begin at an
intersection (90° or 120°). Per the
space-planning layout, locate two
panel frames to be joined together.
Note: If two panel frames being
joined are of different heights,
begin with the lower-height panel,
as the shorter panel determines
the number of connector blocks
required. Proceed to "Panel
Frames - Change-of-Height
Intersection Assembly"
instructions on page 8.
2. Loosely attach connector blocks
to one vertical panel frame using
one 3/8-16 x 11/4” hex head
bolt and large flat washer per
connector block (Figures 3, 4 &
5). Attach one connector block at
the lowest mounting hole in the
frame, one at the highest, and the
third approximately 30” from the
floor, near beltway height. If the
panel frame is only 32” high, use
only two connector blocks, one at
the top and one at the bottom (See
Detail C - “Panel Connector Block
Charts,” page 5).
3. Have one person hold the panel
frame (with connector blocks).
Then attach the next panel frame
to the first panel frame using
hex head bolts and flat washers.
Hand-tighten hardware until all
intersection connections are made
(Figures 3, 4 & 5).
4. Tighten all hex bolts at intersections,
then level the panel frames,
twisting the height-adjustable
glides in or out (Figures 3, 4 & 5).
Note: Light shields are available
in 48, 64 & 80” nominal lengths.
The above light shield lengths do
not require cutting when paired
with the same nominal height
panel frame.
5. Begin light shield installation by
first locating the nominal length
plastic light shield that matches
the nominal height panel frame it
installs adjacent to. For nominal
height 32, 40 & 56” panels,
locate a light shield that is longer
than, but closest to the nominal
frame height. When required (for
32, 40 & 56” panel heights), cut
the longer plastic light shield to
size. See Detail A - “Light Shield
Table,” page 5 to determine
proper cut length.
6. Plastic light shields must be
installed after intersections are
assembled and all bolts are
tightened into connector blocks.
Measure and make a mark that
is 5/16” down from the top of the
vertical frame post (Detail B,
page 5). Using the proper length
light shield, position the top of
the shield at that 5/16” mark. Snap
the light shield into the corner of
each connector block such that
you hear a “click”, ensuring that
the light shield is snug at each
connector block.
Note: The bottom of the light
shield should fit flush with the
bottom trim when trim is installed.
The top of the light shield should
fit nearly flush with the underside
of an intersection top cap when it
is installed later.
Tip: A top cap can be temporarily
installed to help locate the top
of the light shield. Snap the light
shield in place such that the top of
the shield is flush with the bottom
of an installed top cap.

120º Panel Frames -
Intersection Assembly
Note: Assembly of 120º panel
frame intersections are similar
to 90º panel frame intersections,
except the design, function and
installation of the light shields
are different between the two.
As shown on pages 4 & 5, 90º
intersection light shields are
made of plastic and have no
tabs. The 120º intersection light
shields are made of metal and
have integral tabs which serve as
spacers for proper panel frame
spacing. Care must be taken
to install 120º intersections
correctly.
Important: It is very important
to level the panel system. Know
and mark all high and low spots
on the floor, and make sure to twist
adjustable glides out appropriate
to floor conditions. Always begin
assembling panels together at the
highest point of an un-even floor,
with the glides adjusted 1/2” from
the base of the frame.
Note: The instructions to follow
outline the assembly of 120º
panel frame intersections using
panel frames of the same height.
Your configuration may vary.
Reference the appropriate 90º
intersections instructions if your
configuration varies. If a 120º
Change-of-Height Panel Frame
intersection is to be assembled,
reference "Panel Frame - Change-
of-Height Intersection Assembly"
instructions on page 8. If a 120º
stacking section (aluminum
frame) intersection is to be
assembled, reference "Stacking
Panel Sections (aluminum
frame) - Full-Height Intersection
Assembly" instructions on
page 9. If 120º stacking section
(steel frame) intersection is to be
assembled, reference "Stacking
Sections (steel frame) -
Full-Height Intersection Assembly"
instructions on page 10.
1. Loosely attach 120º connector
blocks and appropriate length
light shields to one vertical panel
frame using one 3/8-16 x 11/4” hex
head bolt and large flat washer
per connector block. Slide the
light shield over the mounting
bolts, between the panel frame
and the connector blocks
(Figures 6 & 7). Attach one
connector block at the lowest
mounting hole in the frame,
one at the highest, and the third
approximately 30” from the floor,
near beltway height. If the panel
frame is only 32” high, use only
two connector blocks, one at the
top and one at the bottom (See
Panel Connector Block Chart,
page 5).
2. Have one person hold the panel
frame (with 120º connector
blocks and light shield attached).
Then attach the next panel frame
and light shield to the first panel
frame using hex head bolts
and flat washers. Hand-tighten
hardware until all intersection
connections are made (Figures
6 & 7).
Note: Multiple frame
intersections require multiple
light shields. Work around the
intersection in a counter-clockwise
direction attaching panel frames/
light shields until all panels are
loosely attached. Light shields
slide in between the panel frame
and connector blocks and then
nest down onto mounting bolts.
This requires that the intersection
remains loose until all frames are
attached at an intersection.
4. Tighten all hex bolts at
intersections, then level the
panel frames, twisting the
height-adjustable glides in or out.
When tightening the bolts, ensure
that all intersection light shields
are properly in place and fully
engaged around the bolt shaft
(Figures 6 & 7).

Assemble units as described herein only. To do otherwise
may result in instability. All screws, nuts and bolts must be
tightened securely and must be checked periodically after
assembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure parts
may result in assembly failure and personal injury.

Panel Frames - Change-of-
Height Intersection Assembly
1. Per the space-planning layout,
locate the two change-of-height
panel frames to be joined
together. Begin first with the
shorter panel frame as the
shortest panel determines the
number of connector blocks
required (Figure 8).
2. Loosely attach connector blocks
to the shorter panel frame, as
illustrated using one 3/8-16 x 11/4”
hex head bolt and large flat
washer per connector block.
Attach one connector block at
the lowest mounting hole in the
frame, one block at the highest,
and the third connector block
approximately 30” from the floor,
near beltway height (Figure 8).
Note: If the panel frame is only
32” high, use only two connector
blocks, one at the top and one at
the bottom (See Panel Connector
Block Chart, page 5).
3. Have one person hold the shorter
panel frame (with connector
blocks and light shield attached)
while another person attaches the
taller panel frame to the mating
face of the connector blocks
using hex head bolts and flat
washers. Hand-tighten hardware
at this time (Figure 8).
4. Level each panel frame at the
intersection and tighten all hex
bolts.
Note: Light shields are available
in 48, 64 & 80” nominal lengths.
The above light shield lengths do
not require cutting when paired
with the same nominal height
panel frame.
5. Begin light shield installation by
first locating the nominal length
plastic light shield that matches
the nominal height panel frame it
installs adjacent to. For nominal
height 32, 40 & 56” panels,
locate a light shield that is longer
than, but closest to the nominal
frame height. When required
(for 32, 40 & 56” panel heights),
cut the longer plastic light shield
to size. See Detail A - “Light
Shield Table,” page 5 to
determine proper cut length.
6. Plastic light shields must be
installed after intersections are
assembled and all bolts are
tightened into connector blocks.
Measure and make a mark that
is 5/16” down from the top of the
vertical frame post (Detail B,
page 5). Using the proper length
light shield, position the top of
the shield at that 5/16” mark. Snap
the light shield into the corner of
each connector block such that
you hear a “click”, ensuring that
the light shield is snug at each
connector block.
Note: The bottom of the light
shield should fit flush with
the bottom trim when trim is
installed. The top of the light
shield should fit nearly flush with
the underside of an intersection
top cap when it is installed later.
Tip: A top cap can be temporarily
installed to help locate the top
of the light shield. Snap the light
shield in place such that the top
of the shield is flush with the
bottom of an installed top cap.

Stacking Sections (aluminum
frame) - Full-Height
Intersection Assembly
Note: Stacking sections -
full-height intersections are
specified/ordered at time of
original space planning and come
with full-height light shield,
full-height vertical intersection
trim and three connector blocks
as illustrated (Figure 9).
Note: Stacking sections with
"top frame" (aluminum frame)
are constructed of a four-sided
aluminum frame and contain
either glass, steel or perforated
steel inserts pre-installed at the
factory. they use separate vertical
stacking posts to hold the "top
frame" in place (Detail E,
page 13).
IMPORTANT: Reference
"Connector Block with Spacer
Plate Overview" on page 3, to
review the correct installation
procedure of connector blocks
to panel frame intersections
(Detail A).
Important: When stacking
sections are ordered after
original space planning/
installation, the light shield
and trim will ship in two
pieces to install in two pieces
(Page 69, Figure 4).
Note: If full-height vertical
intersection trim and
full-height light shield
(optional) are desired after
original space plan installation
instead of two-piece assembly,
proceed to "Stacking
Sections - Overview"
instructions on page 67,
to disassemble and install the
full-height intersection trim. The
steps below and Figure 9
above illustrate the full-height
stacking intersection connection,
as ordered at time of space
planning.
1. Install the vertical stacking posts
to the top of panel frames at the
intersection using 3/8-16 x 3/4”
hex head bolts and 3/8-16 k-lock
nuts (Figure 9).
Note: Three connector blocks
are required at every intersection.
2. Loosely attach connector blocks
on one panel frame and vertical
stacking post side. Each block is
secured using a 3/8-16 x 11/4”
hex bolt and flat washer. The
upper connector block attaches
at the top of the vertical stacking
posts, the middle connector
block near the 30” belt line and
the bottom connector block
mounts at the lowest mounting
hole of the panel frame. Note: If
the lower panel height is near the
30” belt line height, a connector
block/hardware can replace the
3/8-16 x 3/4” bolt and k-lock nut.
3. Attach the second panel frame
and vertical stacking post
assembly to the installed
connector blocks of the first
panel frame using 3/8-16 x 11/4”
hex head bolts and large flat
washers (Figure 9).
4. Tighten all 3/8-16 x 11/4” hex
bolts securing panel frames
to connector blocks at the
intersection. Tighten the
3/8-16 x 3/4” hex head bolts to
k-lock nuts, securing the vertical
stacking posts at the intersection.
Twist the height-adjustable glides
in or out to level the panel frames
(Figure 9).
Note: Light shields are available
in 48, 64 & 80” nominal lengths.
The above light shield lengths do
not require cutting when paired
with the same nominal height
panel frame.
5. Begin light shield installation by
first locating the nominal length
plastic light shield that matches
the nominal height panel frame it
installs adjacent to. For nominal
height 32, 40 & 56” panels,
locate a light shield that is longer
than, but closest to the nominal
frame height. When required (for
32, 40 & 56” panel heights), cut
the longer plastic light shield to
size. See Detail A - “Light Shield
Table,” page 5 to determine
proper cut length.
6. Plastic light shields must be
installed after intersections are
assembled and all bolts are
tightened into connector blocks.
Measure and make a mark that
is 5/16” down from the top of the
vertical frame post (Detail B,
page 5). Using the proper length
light shield, position the top of
the shield at that 5/16” mark. Snap
the light shield into the corner of
each connector block such that
you hear a “click”, ensuring that
the light shield is snug at each
connector block.
Note: The bottom of the light
shield should fit flush with the
bottom trim when trim is installed.
The top of the light shield should
fit nearly flush with the underside
of an intersection top cap when it
is installed later.
Tip: A top cap can be temporarily
installed to help locate the top
of the light shield. Snap the light
shield in place such that the top of
the shield is flush with the bottom
of an installed top cap.
Note: Additional instructions for
preconfigured segmented panel
frames are covered later in this
manual. Reference "Stacking
Sections (aluminum frame) -
End-of-Run & In-Line Assembly"
instructions on page 13.

fabric, markerboard or slat wall
option (Detail F, page 14).
IMPORTANT: Reference
"Connector Block with Spacer Plate
Overview" on page 3, to review the
correct installation procedure of
connector blocks to panel frame
intersections (Detail A).
Important: When stacking
sections are ordered after original
space planning/installation, the
light shield and trim will ship in
two pieces to install in two pieces
(Page 74, Figure 10).
Note: If full-height vertical
intersection trim and full-height
light shield (optional) are
desired after original space plan
installation instead of two-piece
assembly, proceed to "Stacking
Sections - Overview" instructions
on page 67. The steps to follow
and Figure 10 illustrate the
full-height stacking intersection
connection, as ordered at time of
space planning.
Note: Three connector blocks
are required at every full-height
stacking section intersection.
1. Loosely attach two connector
blocks on one panel frame. Each
block is connected using a
3/8-16 x 11/4” hex bolt and flat
washer. The middle connector
block mounts near the 30” belt
line and the bottom connector
block mounts at the lowest
mounting hole on the panel
frame (Figure 10). Note: If
the lower panel height is near
the 30” belt line height, a
connector block/hardware can
replace the upper 3/8-16 x 3/4”
bolt and k-lock nut.
3. Next, attach the second
panel frame to the installed
connector blocks of the first
assembly using 3/8-16 x 11/4”
hex head bolts and large flat
washers (Figure 10).
4. Tighten all hex bolts securing
panel frames to connector
blocks in the intersection.
Twist the height-adjustable
glides in or out to level the
frames (Figure 10).
3. At intersection conditions,
loosely insert a shorter
3/8-16 x 3/4” hex head bolt to
the top mounting holes of each
intersection panel frame, then
twist on a 3/8-16 k-lock nut.
Note: The nut must be
positioned inside the panel
frame and flat washers are
not required. One at a time,
position a stacking section at
the intersection as illustrated.
Press the posts into the
cavities at the top of the panel
frame. The stacking section
fork will rest on top of the
hex bolt. Tighten the hex
bolt and k-lock nut to secure
the stacking section at the
intersection (Figure 10).
2. Loosely attach one connector
block to the stacking panel
frame. Use a 3/8-16 x 11/4” hex
head bolt and large flat washer
to attach the connector block
to the highest mounting hole
on the stacking section
(Figure 10).
3. Loosely attach the second
stacking section to the
connector block on the first
stacking section using a
3/8-16 x 11/4” hex head bolt and
large flat washer (Figure 10).
4. Tighten all 3/8-16 x 11/4” hex
bolts securing stacking section
to connector blocks at the
intersection (Figure 10).
5. For light shield installation,
reference "Stacking Sections
(aluminum frame) - Full-Height
Intersection Assembly"
instructions on page 9, steps 5
& 6.
Note: Additional instructions
for stacking sections are covered
later in this manual. Reference

Note: Installation of “Stacking
Sections (aluminum frame) -
Full-Height Intersection
Assembly” is covered on page 9,
Figure 9. The steps below and
Figure 14 illustrate in-line
assembly.
Note: Stacking sections with
"top frame" (aluminum frame)
are constructed of a four-sided
aluminum frame and contain
either glass, steel or perforated
steel inserts pre-installed at the
factory. they use separate vertical
stacking posts to hold the "top

Assembly
Note: The installation of
“Stacking Sections (steel
frame) - Full-Height Intersection
Assembly” was covered earlier in
this manual (page 10, Figure 10).
The steps below and Figure 15
illustrate in-line and end-of-run
installation.
Note: Three-sided
steel-construction stacking
sections (steel frame) utilize
exterior-mounted tiles of either
fabric, markerboard or slat wall
option (Detail F, page 14).
Important: Stacking sections
have vertical posts with “forks”
that slide into the tops of
standard panel frames and snug
the stacking sections into place
(Figure 15).
1. At a joined pair of panel frames,
position one stacking section into
the cavities at the top where two
panel frames meet. Place the next
stacking section into the cavities
at the top where two panel
frames meet side-to-side with the
previous section as illustrated.
Sections may be tapped into
place one at a time using a rubber
mallet (Figure 15).
2. Secure the side-to-side stacking
panel sections together using a
3/8-16 x 11/4” hex head bolt, two
washers and a 3/8-16 k-lock nut
(Figure 15).
3. At the panel frame end-of-run,
loosely insert a shorter
3/8-16 x 3/4” hex head bolt to the
top mounting hole of the end
panel frame, then twist on a 3/8-16
k-lock nut. Note: The nut must
be positioned inside the panel
frame and flat washer is not
required. Next, insert stacking
section frame into end panel
frame such that the end and the
other post inserts into the end
frame with the notch of the fork
resting on the 3/8-16 x 3/4” bolt
thread. Tighten the hex bolt and
k-lock nut to secure (Figure 15).
Important: If an “end-of-run
trim clip” was previously installed
to the top of the lower panel, it
must be removed and re-installed
down one hole location so the
fork of the stacking panel can be
secured. (See “End-of-Run Trim

Installation
Note: End-of-run trim clips are
installed to end-of-run panel
frames to hold vertical trim in
place. End-of-run clips must be
installed prior to installing tiles.
1. End-of run trim clips attach to the
frame using a 3/8-16 x 3/4” hex
head bolt and 3/8-16 k-lock nut.
All end-of-run frames, except
the shortest 32” high frame will
require three clips installed (see
End-of-Run Trim Clip Charts).
Attach one end-of-run clip at
the lowest mounting hole in the
frame, one clip at the highest,
and the third end-of-run clip
approximately 30” from the floor,
near beltway height (Figure 16).
2. For “stacking sections (aluminum
frame) with glass, perforated
steel or steel top frames”
(shown Figure 17), or “stacking
sections (steel frame) with fabric,
markerboard or slat wall tiles”
(shown Figure 18), end-of-run
trim clips install to the upper
frame (see “Upper Panel Frame
at Change-of-Height” chart below
for quantity). For the
“end-of-run lower panel frame”
(Figure 18), the uppermost
end-of-run clip must be
re-installed one hole location
below the top mounting hole. This
is so the “fork” of the stacking
section can install to the end of
the lower panel frame.
3. Loosely insert a 3/8-16 x 3/4” hex
head bolt to the top mounting
hole of the lower end panel frame,
then twist on a 3/8-16 k-lock nut.
The nut must be positioned inside
the panel frame and flat washers
are not required.
4. Slide/tap the stacking section
down at end of the panel frame
as illustrated, with the notch of
the fork behind the 3/8-16 x 3/4”
hex bolt. Tighten the hex bolt and
k-lock nut to secure (Figures 17

Electrical Installation -
Overview
Important: Assembly of all
frame components must be
completed, with panel frames
secure to each other and leveled
prior to installation of electrical
components.
Before installing electrical
components, consult local
inspectors and authorities for
local codes. Connection to the
building power supply may be
made ONLY after all panel wiring
has been completed. Building
connections must be made by
a licensed electrician, following
local codes for the building site.
Note: Each circuit must be
individually protected with a
120-volt, 15 or 20-amp circuit
breaker device which will
provide disconnect and overload
protection.
Prior to beginning electrical
component installation, read
and understand the following
electrical installation section and
be familiar with the electrical
components and all power infeed
locations required.
Note: Data cable installation is
not covered in this document.
For data cable installation and
management, refer to the Unite
Planning Guide (KI-62226).
Note: The following steps show
10-wire rigid wireways installing
to frames before installation of
10-wire jumpers. However, some
installers find it more convenient
to install jumpers before securing
rigid wireways.
Base-Power 10-Wire Rigid
Wireway
Note: 10-wire rigid wireways
accept 10-wire power infeeds,
horizontal & vertical 10-wire
jumpers and 10-wire duplex
receptacles with simple modular
snap connection. Rigid wireways
must be installed with the “N”
symbol oriented up.
1. Position the 10-wire rigid wireway
under the lower horizontal frame
member (N symbol oriented
up) such that mounting tabs on
the rigid wireway fit up between
the two tangs of the wireway
mounting bracket. Align all four
mounting holes of the rigid
wireway with the four holes of the
wireway mounting brackets, and
secure using two #10-24 x 3/8”
Torx screw (31.12.9070) per
bracket, one from each side of
the rigid wireway. Use the left
mounting holes on one side
of the bracket, and the right
mounting holes on the other side
of the bracket so that mounting
screws do not interfere with each
other (Figure 1).
2. Repeat the process in step 1
above to install remaining
base-power 10-wire rigid
wireways to all panels that are
powered, or will have power
passing through them, per your
space-planning layout (Figure 1).
Note: If vertical 10-wire
jumpers are to be used between
base-power and beltway 10-wire
rigid wireways in any panel
frame, refer to page 21, Figure 2
as vertical 10-wire jumpers
should be installed before rigid
wireways.
Beltway-Height 10-Wire Rigid
Wireway
Note: 10-wire rigid wireways
accept 10-wire power infeeds,
horizontal & vertical 10-wire
jumpers and 10-wire duplex
receptacles with simple modular
snap connection. Rigid wireways
must be installed with the “N”
symbol oriented up.
1. At 30” beltway height, install
beltway-height supports into the
vertical frame member by tipping
the inside of each support up,
inserting the hook-tabs into the
vertical slots, and rotating the
support down into horizontal
position as illustrated. Repeat for
second required beltway-height
support across from the first
(Figure 1).
2. Install a wireway mounting
bracket to the mounting hole
of each beltway-height support
using 1/4-20 x 5/8” machine screw
(12.0074), as illustrated from
underneath each support. Make
sure bracket is aligned straight
onto support before tightening
(Figure 1).
3. Position a 10-wire rigid wireway
above the pair of beltway-height
wireway mounting brackets
(N symbol oriented up) such
that mounting tabs on the rigid
wireway fit in between the two
tangs of the wireway mounting
bracket. Align all four mounting
holes of the rigid wireway with
the four holes of the wireway
mounting brackets, and secure
using #10-24 x 3/8” Torx screw
(31.12.9070) screws per bracket,
one from each side of the 10-wire
rigid wireway. Use the left
mounting holes on one side of the
bracket, and the right mounting
holes on the other side of the
bracket so that mounting screws
do not interfere with each other
(Figure 1).
4. Repeat the process in steps
1 through 3 above to install
remaining beltway-height 10-wire
rigid wireways for all panels that
are powered, or will have power
passing through them at beltway
height, per your space planning
layout (Figure 1).
