Assembly Instructions
WARNING: This product contains a spring mechanism that can cause injury. Be careful when removing monitors as the arm can
spring up when the weight of the monitor is removed.
Note: There are two ways to attach to your desktop: Clamp and Bolt-through mount. Determine if you need to attach it around the
back side of your desk or through a hole from 0.4’’ to 3.15’’ in diameter.
Acceptable monitor weight range: 2.2 to 17.6 lb (per monitor)
Recommended monitor size: up to 32”
Desktop thickness compatibility: Clamp Method: 0.4”-3.3” thick | Bolt-through Method: 0.4”-1.8” thick
Step 1
If you purchased the Crestview Monitor Arm Wiring Kit,
assemble that FIRST, before proceeding. Refer to the
separate instructions contained in the Crestview Monitor
Arm Wiring Kit (ACC076) package for complete details.

Step 2
Determine your mounting method. There are two ways
to attach the Crestview Align Triple Monitor Arm to your
desktop:
Clamp Method: If you would like to attach the monitor
arm along the back edge of your desktop, follow the
Clamp Method instructions (Steps 3 - 5) and ensure your
desk is between 0.4” and 3.3” thick.
Bolt-Through Method: If you prefer to attach the monitor
arm through your desktop, skip Steps 3 - 5 and follow
the Bolt-Through Method instructions (Steps 6 - 9) and
ensure your desk is between 0.4” and 1.8” thick. Clamp Method Bolt-Through Method
Step 3 (Clamp Method)
A. Align the Upper Clamp with the Base in the orientation
shown. Attach using four M6 x 12 Flathead Screws and
the 4mm Allen Wrench.
B. Then peel the adhesive backing off of the Adhesive
Pad and attach it to the bottom of the Base and Upper
Clamp as shown. Align the pad with the front edge of
the Base rst, then work to the back.

Step 6 (Bolt-Through Method)
Ensure the desktop has a hole between 0.4’’ and 3.1’’ in
diameter to use this option. Using a grommet hole that
is already in your desktop is acceptable, or you can drill a
0.5” hole anywhere on your desktop.
Step 4 (Clamp Method)
A. Use the 4mm Allen Wrench to adjust the four pre-
installed screws on the back of the Lower Clamp so
that there are about 0.25” of thread between the plate
and screw heads.
B. Insert the four screws of the Lower Clamp through four
of the key slot holes in the back of the Upper Clamp as
shown. There are two sets of key slot holes to choose
from for different desktop thicknesses.
• For Desks 0.4” to 2.25” use the top four key slot
holes (g. 1)
• For Desks 2” to 3.3” use the bottom four key slot
holes (g. 2)
C. Slide the Lower Clamp assembly down so that the
screws are at the bottom of the key slot holes then
tighten screws with 4mm Allen Wrench.
Step 5 (Clamp Method)
A. Using the 6mm Allen Wrench, adjust both bolts on the
bottom of the Lower Clamp so that the opening is wide
enough to accommodate the thickness of the desktop
and Lower Base Plate.
B. Place the outer holes of the Lower Base Plate onto the
tips of the bolts as shown.
C. Slide the assembly onto the back of the desktop,
then tighten the bolts using the 6mm Allen Wrench.
Alternate from one bolt to the other, to allow the Lower
Base Plate to rise evenly before nally tightening to the
desktop.
D. If you chose the Clamp Method for mounting, please
skip the Bolt-Through Method Steps 6 - 9 and proceed
with Step 10.

Step 7 (Bolt-Through Method)
A. Align the Upper Base Plate with the Base in the
orientation shown and attach it using the four M6 x 12
Flathead Screws and the 4mm Allen Wrench.
B. Then peel the adhesive backing off of the Adhesive Pad
and attach it to the bottom of the Base and Upper Base
Plate as shown. Align the pad with the front edge of the
Base rst, then work to the back.
Step 8 (Bolt-Through Method)
A. Remove one of the bolts from the bottom of the Lower
Clamp using the 6mm Allen Wrench. Slip it through the
Lower Base Plate’s center hole as shown.
B. If assembling on an adjustable height desk, raise the
desk so the desktop hole is easier to see. Then insert
the bolt through the desktop hole from below, and hold
them in place.
Step 9 (Bolt-Through Method)
A. While holding the Lower Base Plate and bolt in place
from below, line up the hole of the Base assembly
(from Step 7) with the top of the bolt.
B. Make sure the front of the Base assembly is facing
towards the front of your desk.
C. Hold the Base assembly in place on top as you hand
tighten the bolt from below to get the threads started.
Once the bolt is started, you can let go of the Lower
Base Plate. Use the 6mm Allen Wrench to nish
tightening the assembly to the desktop.
D. Proceed with the Arm Assembly, Step 10.
Step 10
A. Slide the Lower Arm onto the post of the Base until it
is fully seated and tighten the lower set screw with the
at-head end of the 3mm Allen Wrench (or a small at
head screwdriver). This will secure the Lower Arm to
the Base and keep it from becoming separated during
adjustment.
B. The Lower Arm can swivel a full 360° or can be set to
allow only a range of 180°.
• To allow 360° of rotation, leave the upper set screw
alone, and the Lower Arm will rotate a full 360°
around past the back of the desk.
• To limit the Lower Arm to only 180° of rotation,
tighten the upper set screw. This setting is helpful
when your desk is located against a wall or you are
installing a privacy panel to the back of the desk. Do
not over-tighten this set screw, doing so may hinder
arm movement.
180°

Step 11
A. Slide the Upper Arm into the hole on the Lower Arm
until it is fully seated
B. Tighten the set screw on the Lower Arm with the
at-head end of the provided 3mm Allen Wrench (or
a small at head screwdriver). This will prevent the
Upper Arm from becoming separated from the Lower
Arm during adjustment.
Step 12
A. Prepare the Bar for attaching to the Upper Arm. The
open part of the sockets must be facing up.
B. The four center holes on the Bar and on the mount
should line up, and the pre-installed bolts on the Bar
should be visible through the large holes on the mount
C. Hold the Bar in place, and begin attaching the Bar to
the Upper Arm using the four M6 x 12 Panhead Screws
in the holes shown. Thread each Screw by hand until
all four Screws are added, then tighten using the 4mm
Allen Wrench.
Step 13
Reminder: Acceptable monitor weight range for the
Crestview Align Dual Monitor Arm is 2.2 lb to 17.6 lb.
A. Lay your monitor face down on a clean surface or a
towel to prevent damage to your screen.
B. Test the M4 x 12 and M5 x 12 Screws in your monitor’s
screw holes to determine which is the right size for
your monitor.
C. Line up the holes of the VESA Plate with the holes
on your monitor. Make sure the VESA plate is in the
orientation shown for proper attachment to the Bar.
D. Attach the VESA Plate to the monitor using the
selected screws with the M5 Washers.
E. Repeat this step with the other monitor.

Step 16
A. Move the monitor assembly to any position and
release it. If the monitor assembly does not drift up or
down, the Arm is properly counterbalanced.
B. If the monitor assembly does not remain where you
positioned it, you will need to adjust the tension of
the gas spring to properly support the weight of your
monitor assembly.
• If the monitor assembly drifts down when you
let it go, hold the Arm in a horizontal position as
shown and use the 6mm Allen Wrench to turn the
adjustment screw toward the “+” until the monitor
remains in place when you let go.
• If the monitor assembly drifts upward when you let
go, turn the adjustment screw towards the “-” until
the monitor remains in place when you let go.
Step 14
A. The sockets slide freely along the Bar; we advise
sliding the sockets to each end of the bar to allow
more room when attaching the monitors. Insert each
monitor’s VESA attachment into the sockets on the
Bar.
B. The Screw on the bottom of each socket provides up to
5mm of height adjustment to help align the monitors.
Turn the Screw either direction with a Phillips head
screw driver to set the height. (g. 1)
C. Next, tighten the Screw on the side of each socket to
lock the monitors in place. (g. 2)
D. Pull up slightly on your monitors to make sure they are
locked securely in place.
E. Once the monitors are attached to the sockets, you
can slide them inward to position them as desired. We
recommend they meet in the center of the bar.
Step 15
A. Attach the Handle to the Bar, you have four options.
Choose between the two sets of holes on the Handle
and two sets of holes in the Bar to determine which
combination is best for you and allows the bottom of
the Handle to clear the bottom of your monitors.
B. When installing the Handle, you may need to squeeze
the ends together or pull them apart slightly in order to
align the holes in the Handle with the holes in the Bar.
C. Connect the Handle to the Bar using the two M6 x 22
screws and the 4mm Allen wrench.

8
Step 17
A. To adjust the angle of the Bar, use the 4mm Allen
wrench to slightly loosen the four screws shown on
the back of the Bar attachment piece. Do not remove
these screws completely.
B. Once the four screws are loose, adjust the angle of the
Bar and monitors until they are positioned how you
like them and then re-tighten the four screws.
C. The angle of the Bar can be adjusted up to 4 degrees in
either direction.
Step 18
A. To use the Arm’s wire management, rst remove the
built-in wire covers.
B. The Upper Wire Cover is located on the bottom side of
the Arm and is held in place by a screw at the top end
and a clip at the bottom end. Remove the screw with a
Phillips head screwdriver and slide the cover slightly
toward the Worksurface to disengage the clip and
remove the cover.
C. The Lower Wire Cover is located on the bottom side
of the Lower Arm and is removed by hooking a nger
through the bottom opening in the cover, then holding
it rm while pulling it forward to unlock.
D. Run your cables under the Arm where the wire covers
were located and then replace the covers. Your cables
should run through each end of both the Upper and
Lower Wire Covers.
E. Reinstall the screws to secure each Upper Wire Cover.
Step 19
A. If you have selected the Clamp Method, you can now
snap the Wire Cover onto the back of the Upper Clamp
as shown and insert your monitor cables through the
two integrated clips.
B. The Wire Cover adds 0.8” to the back of the Clamp
assembly. If your desk is close to a wall or cubicle
or has a privacy panel attached to the back of the
desktop, there may not be enough space available to
attach the Wire Cover.
