Panel System - Stacking Sections Assembly
Assembly Instructions
Rare Earth Magnets used with this product. The magnets can
be harmful to pacemaker wearers and others with medical
devices. Pacemaker wearers should stay at least one
foot away from the steel tiles.
Stacking Sections (steel frame)
Assembly
Important: Stacking sections
have vertical posts with “forks”
that drop into the tops of standard
panel frames (after the top caps
are removed) and do not require
a fastener unless mounted at the
end-of-run (Figure 8).
Note: Once all stacking sections
have been assembled to the panel
system, reference the "Stacking
Sections (steel frame) Assembly"
note at the end of this page.
Stacking Sections (steel
frame) - Intersection Assembly
1. Position a stacking section at
the intersection as illustrated.
Press the posts into the cavities
at the top of the panel frame. The
stacking section fork will rest
on top of the

Section frame may be tapped
in place using a rubber mallet
(Figure 8).
Stacking Sections (steel
frame) - In-Line Assembly
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 8).
2. Secure the side-to-side stacking
sections together using a

Stacking Sections (steel
frame) - End-of-Run Assembly
1. To gain access to the inside of
the end-of-run panel frame, lift
the end-of-run panel tile up to
disengage it from the P-slots in

the vertical post. Set panel tile
aside until instructed to assemble
back onto the panel frame
(Figure 9).
Note: End-of-run trim clips are
installed to end-of-run stacking
section posts to hold vertical trim
in place. End-of-run clips must be
installed prior to installing tiles.
1. Attach end-of run trim clips to
the upper and lower mounting
locations on the end-of-run
stacking section post using a

2. At the "end-of-run panel frame,"
the uppermost end-of-run clip
must be re-installed one hole
location below the top mounting
hole. This is so the “fork” of the
stacking section can install to
the end of the lower panel frame.
Loosely insert a shorter

frame and a flat washer is not
required. Next, place stacking
section post at end of the panel
frame as illustrated, with the notch
of the fork resting on the

Note: If panel intersections do
not require a full-height light
shield and full-height vertical
corner trim, reference "Stacking

intersections are to be installed
with a full-height light shield and
full-height intersection trim,
