Horizontal Rails
Each Enhanced Horizontal Rail can be
identified bythe unique labels that
appear on both sides of the horizontal
rail.

Attaching Enhanced Horizontals
To Verticals
Enhanced Horizontals are used at the
top and bottom of a panel to space the
vertical posts apart the appropriate
distance for the panel width you are
building. One rail is used at the top of
the panel with the opening facing
upward and one rail is used at the
bottom facing downward. Panels that
are made up of more than one tile use
additional standard construction
horizontals at intermediate heights
(with the opening facing up).
Note: Refer to the space plan to
determine which panels receive
enhanced horizontals.
1. Slide an enhanced horizontal into
the top of a vertical half post with
the rivets above the embossed area
on the post. Making sure all four
rivets are lined up with the
corresponding embosses, tap the
horizontal into place with a
dead-blow style mallet (Figure 3).
2. Referring again to the space plan,
position the appropriate vertical
post (full or half post) relative to
the horizontals and tap the
horizontals into place (Figure 4).
3. Repeat the above instructions,
building out in a direction
perpendicular to the first
horizontals from the corner post.
When this step is completed you
should have a partiallyassembled
90° corner that can support itself
(Figure 5).

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

4. Position the lower enhanced
horizontals relative to the lowest set
of embossed areas on the
vertical posts with the
opening
downward
and tap into place with a
dead-blow style mallet. Continue to
add standard horizontals as
required bythe style of panel
(Figure 6).
Remember,
onlythe bottom
horizontal rails are installed with
the opening facing downward.
All
other rails openings should face
upward.
Warning: Use care when tapping
the horizontals in place to ensure
that all rivets are sliding into the
embossed areas of the post. Failure
to engage all rivets into the post
will compromise the strength of the
frame and could possiblyresult in
product failure.

Return Panel Guidelines
Definition of Return: A panel or
combination of panels that has one of
its ends connected to a run of panels
while the other end is unsupported.
• Cannot exceed a total length of 8'
• Cannot consist of more than two
panels
• Cannot support overhead storage
• Cannot support worksurfaces or
countertops
Rules:
•Anyreturn greater than 48" but
less than 96" in length requires
enhanced horizontals.
•Anyreturn greater than 48"
requires enhanced horizontals on
both panels that make up the
return.
• Two enhanced horizontals are
required per panel, one at the top
and the other at the bottom.
Examples: Where needed
This combination of two panels is
wider than 48", therefore both panels
require Enhanced Horizontals.
This single panel is wider than 48",
therefore requires Enhanced
Horizontals.
This combination of two panels is
adjacent to a worksurface, but still
requires Enhanced Horizontals in both
panels.
This combination of two panels
attaches the adjacent worksurfaces to
a panel with a worksurface support
bracket (WSB), but still requires
Enhanced Horizontals in both panels.
