Panel System - Stacking Sections Assembly
Assembly Instructions
Stacking Sections (steel
frame) - Full-Height
Intersection Assembly
Important: When stacking
sections are ordered after original
space planning/installation, the
light shield and trim will ship in
two pieces to install in two pieces
(Figure 11).
Note: If full-height vertical
intersection trim and full-height
light shield (optional) are
desired after original space plan
installation; instead of two-piece
assembly, the connector block
in the highest mounting location
on the lower panel frame must be
moved to the highest mounting
location on the stacking panel
frame posts at the intersection
(Figure 11).
1. To gain access inside both
intersection panel frames, lift
the intersection panel tiles up to
disengage them from the P-slots
in the vertical posts. Set panel
tiles aside until instructed to
assemble back onto the panel
frame (Figure 11).
2. Remove the connector block
located at the top of the lower
panel frame intersection by
removing the

and washers inside the vertical
posts of the panel frames
(Figure 11).
3. Loosely attach the previously
removed connector block to the
highest mounting location on
one of the stacking section posts
at the intersection using the
previously removed.

connector block on the first post
using a

to the connector block at the
intersection (Figure 11).
6. Remove the light shield located at
the intersection of the pre-existing
panel frame installation. Position
the new full-height light shield
into the corner where the previous
shield was located. Snap the
full-height light shield into the
corner of each connector block
such that you hear a “click”,
ensuring that the light shield is
snug at each connector block
(Figure 11).
