Chicago Hardwired Base Power
Infeed Installation - 24” & 30”
Panel Width
Important: All panel frames
must be mechanically connected
together, with all rigid wireways
and panel-to-panel power
connections appropriately
installed before adding power
infeed, or connecting infeed to
power source.
Note: The Chicago Hardwired
steel receptacle boxes may mount
to open at both sides of the frame
base, but the boxes are staggered
to not be back-to-back. Frames of
24” or 30” wide can accommodate
only one receptacle box per side,
while 36” through 72” wide frames
can accommodate two receptacle
boxes per side.

thread-forming screws (46.0195)
as illustrated (Detail L). Assemble
all remaining panel boxes and
Z-brackets together at this time.
The receptacle box & Z-bracket
assemblies are non-handed, so
can be used on either side of the
frame.
2. Using two

thread-forming screws, attach
a Chicago mounting bracket to
each receptacle box & Z-bracket
assembly as illustrated. Orient the
parts for assembly such that the
screw goes through the Chicago
bracket and threads into the
Z-bracket (Figure 19).
3. If the lower panel frame rail has
two brackets mounted under
it, remove the

thread-forming screws (46.0195)
securing them. Discard the
brackets but retain the
thread-forming screws. Orient the
Chicago mounting brackets (with
receptacle & Z-bracket attached)
under the holes in the lower panel
frame rail and secure the Chicago
mounting brackets to the frame
rail using a

thread-forming screw (Figure 19).
Note: The power infeeds are to be
connected to the power source by
a qualified electrician who must
follow all state and local codes
at the building site and check the
electrical integrity of the finished
system.
4. Install conduit, wiring and
receptacles per Chicago Electrical
Codes.
5. Place a Chicago filler plate over
the receptacle box as illustrated
and secure with two filler plate
screws (Figure 19).
6. Install Chicago base raceway
covers in the same manner as
standard Unite. Chicago base
raceway covers are different
than standard as the cut-outs
are in unique locations for this
application (Figure 19).
7. Snap the Chicago bezel plate into
the Chicago base raceway cover.
Chicago bezel plates are different
than standard as they have the

deep snap tabs removed. Snap the
data filler plates into the Chicago
bezel plates if no data cables are
used at that location. The data port
accepts modular furniture data
port covers or data jacks
(Figure 19).
