Stacking Sections - Overview
Note: Stacking sections are an
“add-on” panel option, which
are installed to existing panel
configurations. Stacking sections
at intersections receive stacking
vertical trim, which is spliced to
existing lower intersection trim
so is not continuous in length.

Stacking Sections - Top Cap
and Vertical Trim Removal
1. Remove the top caps from the
panel frame by first positioning
both hands at the top/side of
the top cap at the spring clip
locations. Use hands to pull the
top cap toward one side of the
panel frame. This action will
compress one side of the spring
clips. While compressing to one
side, rotate the top cap up to
release the spring clips and lift
top cap up to remove (Figure 1 &
Detail A).
2. Remove all intersection caps
from the top of the panel frame
installation (Figure 1).
3. Locate and remove any vertical
trim from the edge or corner of the
panel frame installation by lifting
each trim piece up to disengage
from the connector block hang-on
tabs (Figure 1 & Detail B).
Note: Stacking sections are
constructed in one of two styles
(aluminum or steel frames),
and are assembled to the top of
panel frames differently. Stacking
sections constructed with a
four-sided aluminum frame ("top
frame"), contain pre-installed
inserts of either glass, steel or
perforated steel. Stacking sections
constructed with a three-sided
steel frame are open at the bottom
and utilize exterior-mounted tiles
of either fabric, markerboard or
slat wall option. If "Top Frame"
aluminium construction stacking
sections are to be installed,
reference "Stacking Sections
(aluminium frame) Assembly"
instructions on page 68.
If steel frame construction
stacking sections are to be
installed, reference "Stacking
Sections (steel frame) Assembly"
instructions on page 73.
