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.

Installation (cont.)
7. Carefully position tabletops onto
tabletop mounting flanges of
installed bases. Recheck
space-planning layout and
identification numbers under
tabletops to verify correct location.
8. Tabletops are to be joined together
from underneath with two KV joint
fasteners per pair of tabletops
(Figure 3). First join both tabletops
together, aligning the hardwood
spline (installed in one tabletop at
the factory). Check to make sure
hardwood spline fits snug in both
tabletops. If it does not, lightly sand
down the spline so it does fit. If this
is not done, it may be difficult to
get a tight fit on the tabletop seam.
The spline joint and tabletop seams
are to be glued using the adhesive
supplied with the KV fasteners.
Do not use a wood glue for seam
gluing as the working time for that
adhesive is too short. Then, thread
each draw bolt a few turns into each
tightening nut and press each pair
up into a
7
/
8
” hole and slot. The flat
end of each draw bolt will be visible
in the
7
/
8
” holes of the tabletop being
joined. Insert locking sleeves into
the
7
/
8
” holes so that the slotted
sleeve engages the rounded collar
on the bolt (Figure 3). Tighten the
nut with a tightening tool or nail set.
Check the top side of the joint for
proper alignment. The joint should
be smooth and level with no gaps.
Adjust as necessary to achieve a
“seamless” look. Once the seam is
glued, use the C-clamps to clamp
either end of the seam.
Note: Each pound of pressure on
the tightening tool exerts 500 pounds
of force on the joint. Overtightening
the KV fasteners will cause the tops
to delaminate.
9. Per the space-planning layout,
secure the required number of
5” x 5” splice plates over the joint
using four #14 x 1” screws per
plate, torqued to 100 in/lb. Continue
securing all joints with adhesive,
KV joint fasteners and splice plates
along the run of tabletops (Figure 4).
Note: Allow assembled tabletops
time for joint adhesive to cure
(approximately 1 hour) before
moving to assemble to support arms,
and before installing splices.
