This document provides installation and disassembly instructions for the Canvas Office Landscape® Interior Full Height & COH Connector Cover, designed for recycling. It details the components included, tools required, and step-by-step assembly for various connector cover configurations, along with guidelines for material identification and segregation for recycling.
Function Description:
The Canvas Office Landscape® Interior Full Height & COH Connector Cover system is designed to provide a finished aesthetic for office partition connectors, integrating seamlessly with the Canvas Office Landscape system. These covers conceal structural elements and wiring, contributing to a clean and organized workspace. The system includes various types of connector covers to accommodate different configurations (one-sided, two-sided, three-sided) and heights (full height, COH - Change of Height). The design emphasizes ease of installation and disassembly, particularly for recycling purposes, aligning with sustainable practices.
Important Technical Specifications:
The system comprises several key components:
- A. One-sided COH Connector Cover (Painted & Veneer): Used for single-sided connections, likely at the end of a run or against a wall.
- B. Two-sided COH Connector Cover (Painted & Veneer): Designed for straight-line connections between two panels.
- C. Three-sided COH Connector Cover (Painted & Veneer): Utilized for corner or "T" intersections where three panels meet.
- D. Change of Height Trim Block: A component used at points where the panel height changes, specifically for one-sided configurations.
- E. Change of Height 2-Sided Trim Block (Painted & Veneer): Similar to D, but for two-sided change of height applications.
- F. Change of Height 3-Sided Trim Block (Painted & Veneer): For three-sided change of height applications.
- G. Change of Height Trim Block Clip: A small clip used to secure trim blocks.
- H. 7" 3-Sided Cover Attachment Clip: A clip specifically for attaching the 7" three-sided cover.
- I. One-Sided Connector Cover (Painted & Veneer): A full-height connector cover for single-sided applications.
- J. Two-Sided Connector Cover (Painted & Veneer): A full-height connector cover for two-sided applications.
- K. Connector Tube: A structural tube that forms the core of the connector assembly.
- L. 3/8-16 Hex Head Cap Screw: A fastener used to secure the connector tube.
- M. Washer: Used in conjunction with the cap screw for secure fastening.
The covers are available in both painted and veneer finishes, offering aesthetic flexibility to match various office designs. The design incorporates slots, flanges, and paint notches for precise alignment and engagement with connector blocks and tubes. The system is modular, allowing for various configurations and adaptations to different frame heights.
Usage Features:
The installation process is designed to be straightforward, requiring common tools.
- Modularity: The system supports one-sided, two-sided, and three-sided connections, as well as "Change of Height" scenarios, providing flexibility for diverse office layouts.
- Aesthetic Integration: The covers conceal the underlying structural components and wiring, contributing to a clean and professional appearance. "Light Seal Flush at Top" indicates attention to detail in minimizing gaps.
- Secure Attachment: Components like trim blocks, clips, and screws ensure that the covers are securely attached to the frame and connector tubes. Flanges engaging in notches and slots over connector blocks are key to this secure fit.
- Paint Notches: The instruction to ensure "paint notches are at the top of the part" for full-height covers (I and J) suggests a specific orientation for proper aesthetic alignment or functional fit.
- Trim Block Clips (G): These clips are crucial for securing trim blocks and facilitating the sliding of lower frame top caps, ensuring a snug fit.
- Connector Top Caps: These caps are inserted into frame top caps and fit into the connector covers, providing a finished look at the top of the assembly.
- Frame Height Adaptability: The note "Depending on frame heights, connector blocks may or may not be present" indicates that the system is adaptable to different frame heights within the Canvas Office Landscape system.
- 7" 3-Sided Cover: A specific variant of the three-sided cover, possibly for shorter or specialized applications, which uses an "Attachment Clip (H)" on the stile.
Maintenance Features:
The primary maintenance feature highlighted is the ease of disassembly for recycling.
- Disassembly for Recycling: The manual explicitly states that to disassemble the product, one should "reverse the above installation steps." This implies a design where components can be easily removed without damage, facilitating material recovery.
- Material Identification and Segregation:
- Plastic Components: Where possible, plastic parts are marked with ASTM recycling codes to aid in identification and segregation by material type. Unmarked plastic components should be treated as mixed plastic. This promotes efficient recycling by ensuring proper sorting.
- Ferrous Metals: These can be identified using a small magnet, allowing for their separation and recycling.
- Non-Ferrous Metals: These should be separated and recycled separately, indicating the presence of different metal types within the system.
- Ratchet: For tightening or loosening fasteners.
- 9/16" Socket: Specifically for the 3/8-16 Hex Head Cap Screw (L).
- Safety Glass: Emphasizes safety during installation and disassembly.
The overall design reflects a commitment to both functional aesthetics in an office environment and environmental responsibility through thoughtful material selection and ease of recycling.
