Beam Applications
Table supporting structures - BEAMS Legs are connected with supporting beams.
There is one beam for a single line of tables while two beams connect back 2 back
table structures. There are three types of beams whose application principles are
common to building support for single-line and back 2 back table assemblies:
Single table beam Designed to bridge two legs to form support for a single
table, or for two back 2 back work surfaces.
End of run table beam Supports table leg assemblies at the end of a table run,
with legs on one side tucked under the work surface. Longer by 2” than the
Single table Beam, thereby positioning one leg assembly so that it supports 2
adjoining work surfaces.
• Fall 2012
Interconnecting table beam A typical, multiple surface run begins with an End of
run beam, continues with Interconnecting beam(s) and finishes with another End
of run beam. Also, applies to multiple, back 2 back Assemblies.
Interconnecting beam is designed to bridge space between two table assemblies. Because the interconnecting beam is 4” longer than the standard beam,
it spreads supporting legs apart so that both could be shared by adjacent
worksurfaces.
Telescopic table beam Supports a return connected perpendicularly to a 24” or
30” deep primary work surface. The Telescopic beam is connected to a single
or back 2 back leg on one side and to any work surface-supporting beam on the
opposite side.
Storage table beam The Storage beam is connected to a single or back 2 back
leg on one side and to the work surface on the opposite side - thus saving one
leg assembly work surface is connected to storage units with included storage
brackets). Storage table beam’s flexibility allows for a single table application
(with the table leg tucked in under the work surface) as well as for a double table
installation (two adjacent tables supported by a shared leg in the middle and two
storage cabinets at the opposite ends).
Storage table beam adapter Connects to Storage table beam. This assembly
allows a work surface to be supported by a leg on one side and a spine (formed
by interconnected storage cabinets) on the opposite side.

Telescopic Beam
Designed to provide support for worksurfaces perpendicularly connected to a primary
table run. The telescopic beam is connected to the leg’s horizontal, rectangular tube
on one side, while the opposite side is secured off module to the perpendicular,
central beam and can be adjusted to accommodate 24” and 30” deep primary
worksurfaces.
STEP 1: Position beam’s end bracket over leg’s horizontal, rectangular tube.
STEP 2: Secure top and bottom bracket ends with two supplied screws.
STEP 3: Adjust the length of the telescopic beam in accordance with the depth of
primary worksurface. Completely contracted beam will support perpendicular side
table connected to 24” deep primary worksurface on Round and Rectangular legs.
Middle position is intended to support perpendicular side table connected to 30”
deep primary worksurface on Round legs. Fully extended telescopic beams supports
perpendicular side table connected to 30” deep primary worksurface on Rectangular
legs.
STEP 4: Position end bracket of the telescopic beam over the primary, perpendicular
beam. Level the whole assembly.
STEP 5: Install primary worksurface.

Spine / Storage Table Beam Adapter
Storage table beam adapter allows a work surface to be supported by a leg on
one side and a spine storage cabinet on the opposite side. A typical Storage
spine is formed by series of interconnected 21” or 25” high storage cabinets of
corresponding depth.
The Storage beam is connected to a single or back-2-back leg on one side and to
the work surface on the opposite side - thus saving one leg assembly.
The 21” or 25” adapters provide structural support - acting as supports between
top of the storage cabinet spine and the bottom of perpendicular work surfaces.
The flexible leg/beam/adapter assembly arrangement allows the leg to be tucked
in under the work surface or to be shared by two adjacent work surfaces.
Included hardware connects the adapter to the worksurface and to the storage
table beam.
STEP 1: Position beam’s end bracket over leg’s horizontal, rectangular tube. Use
Allen keys to secure top and bottom bracket ends with two supplied screws.
STEP 2: Attach Spine / Storage table beam adapter to the Storage table beam. Use
Allen key and the supplied screw to secure.
STEP 3: Turn the work surface upside down on a smooth surface and secure it to
the leg/beam/adapter subassembly with supplied screws.
STEP 4: Rest the leg/beam/adapter/work surface assembly on top of the storage
spine. Adjust the desired position. Secure the assembly by driving two supplied
screws through the bottom of the adapter, into the top of the storage cabinet.

Sliding Return
NOTE:
Round legs:
Sliding Return can be installed anywhere along the front edge of work surface supported by round legs.
Rectangular legs:
Sliding Return can be installed along the front edge of work surface between
Rectangular legs.
Sliding return can be installed under a seam of two adjacent work surfaces
supported by recessed, 34” back 2 back leg.
Ensure that back-to-back table installation is complete, level and structurally
sound. Installation of Sliding Rail requires a special degree of accuracy of work
surface alignment. Failure to do so may result in binding of the sliding mechanism on the Sliding Rail.
Establish range of the Sliding Return.
STEP 1: Mark a line 3” in from (and parallel with) the front edge of work
surface.
STEP 2: Position the Sliding Rail and secure it with supplied screws. Always proceed from the second hole, leaving the first hole for installation of the Rail stop.
NOTE: the pair of screws provided to secure the rubber rail stops at either
end of the rail are longer than the screws for securing the rail to the work
surface. Do not use these longer screws to secure the rail as the screws may
penetrate through the top of the work surface.

STEP 3: Secure leg support bracket to a leg frame with supplied machine
screws (wide flat allen head).
STEP 4: Place the Sliding Return work surface upside down on a clean surface.
Secure the leg assembly to the work surface with supplied wood screws.
Ensure that the legs are set to the same height as the legs supporting the rest
of the table installation.
STEP 5: Place eight supplied rubber spacers over pre-drilled holes. If you are
converting an existing Return work surface to a Sliding Return, mark a line 1”
in from (and parallel with) the edge of the Return work surface.
STEP 6: Align supporting brackets with rubber spacers / pre-drilled holes (or
the marked line) and secure both brackets with supplied wood screws.
NOTE: In order to ensure a smooth sliding action, both brackets must be
perfectly perpendicular to the edge of the return work surface.
STEP 7: Slide the two glide blocks with bushings carefully onto the Rail as
illustrated.
STEP 8: This step requires two people:
While the leg supported side of the Return rests on the floor have an assistant
position supporting brackets under sliding glide blocks, align the holes and
gently drive in two machine screws (metric M6 as provided). Do not tighten. In
the same manner secure the second bracket to the second glide block and test
smoothness of the slide. Carefully tighten all four metric screws while repeatedly testing smoothness of the slide. If the return binds on the Sliding Rail, then
your support bracket(s) are not perpendicular to the rail - causing the
glide blocks to jam.
