Before you Before you begin, note the following…begin, note the following…

• Caution, safety first! Be certain to have and use the proper safety gear.

• Structural support in the walls, floors and/or ceiling is not supplied by Metpar. Verify that adequate

blocking has been installed where necessary before you proceed.

• This installation manual should be used in conjunction with the layout drawings prepared by Metpar. Refer
to the layout drawings for further information such as; product style (ie: The Corinthian FP-500 Overhead
Braced), stall width and depth, ceiling height (for ceiling hung or floor-to-ceiling), individual component sizes
(ie: panels, stiles &/or doors), etc. You will need the layout drawings to determine the centerline markings
for drilling locations. If you have the “no-peek” design, you MUSTMUST have the layout drawing which includes
special notes to indicate the location for each individual pilaster and door.

• When the material is shipped to you, an Initial Release (packing list) is included. Be certain that all items
you need have been ordered and shipped properly.

üMetpar tips…Metpar tips…

1. Plan ahead… coordinate all of the materials and hardware for each specific layout. Study your layout
drawings and evaluate any special conditions that may require custom size materials, unique hardware or
special tools.

2. When you determine the centerline dimensions, refer to the stall depths shown on your layout drawings.
The centerline is ½” less than the stall depth.

3. Read all of these instructions carefully and thoroughly. Reading this manual first will better prepare you
for the entire installation.

?? Hardware Nomenclature…Hardware Nomenclature…

Polly orders are normally provided with 54” full height bright dipped anodized aluminum brackets. Because the
panels, doors and pilasters are all 1” thick, the same bracket is inter-changeable and can be used on panels or
pilasters. The Metpar drawings will illustrate the type of bracket to be used at each location.

#144 FULL HEIGHTFULL HEIGHT 54” 2-ear bracket (#12174) for panel-to-wall or panel-to-stile connections.

Also in 41” length (#12175) for wall hung urinal screens and 70” for panel-to-stile connections on CH700.

#145 FULL HEIGHTFULL HEIGHT 54” 1-ear bracket (#12193) for panel-to-wall, panel-to-stile or stile-to-wall

connections. Also in 70” length for panel-to-stile connections on CH700.

#148 FULL HEIGHTFULL HEIGHT 54” U-bracket (#13310BD) for panel-to-stile connection. Also used on panel-to-

post connections such as on a “PF” screen.

#148 FULL HEIGHTFULL HEIGHT 54” U-bracket assembly (2pcs #13310BD) used for alcove panels attached “in-
line” with the edge of a pilaster. In this scenario, your packing list will show these channels twice, once with a
note indicating “do not drill holes”. A separate detail will be included as an attachment if your job requires it.

1½” x 2” FULL HEIGHTFULL HEIGHT 54” angle bracket (#13390) used to attach posts to the wall.

#148 Headrail U-bracket (#12410) used to attach the end of the headrail to the wall.
