Workwall Perimeter Frames
Workwall perimeter
frames define the outside
dimensions of a workwall.
They can be divided into
multiple sections using inner
vertical frame pieces, specified
separately.
cSpecifying, page 75
Horizontal and vertical
frame pieces create the
outside perimeter of workwall
perimeter frames.
Workwalls are always wall
mounted.
Inner vertical frame
pieces are specified separately.
They must be added
to the workwall perimeter
frame to divide the frame
into sections.
Spacer brackets ensure
accurate spacing of vertical
frame pieces.
Corner brackets connect
horizontal and vertical frame
pieces.
