Stacking Sections (steel
frame) - End-of-Run & In-Line
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

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

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
Clip Installation” on page 15,
Figure 18).
