Burnham 81441001R8-3/06 installation instructions Installation of Corner Plates

8.Installation of Corner Plates

INVERTED CORNER PLATES –for inside corners – furnished in two types, 4-5/8” standard plate is used when Assemblies on adjoining walls extend to within 4-3/8” of the corner. If this distance is greater than 4-3/8” but less than 10-3/8”, the 10-5/8” plate is used. Extended Plate may be cut to desired length with hacksaw.

Set Inverted Corner Plate in place overlapping the end of the adjoining BASE-RAY®Assemblies. Secure to Àoor with wood screws furnished.

If installation is on tile with wood sub-Àooring, drill 1/2” holes in tile in line with holes in Corner Plate. Holes should not penetrate sub-Àooring. Substitute screws of same size as furnished but longer and secure Corner Plate to sub-Àooring.

If installation is on masonry Àoor, drill 1/2” holes approximately 1” deep in Àoor in line with holes in Corner Plate. Drive slightly oversized wood plugs into holes and secure Corner Plate to plugs with wood screws furnished.

PROJECTING CORNER PLATE – for concealing pipe and ¿ttings at outside corners. See section on MAXIMUM DI- MENSION OF FITTINGS, page 8. Assemblies on adjoining walls must extend to within 3” of corner.

Set Projecting Corner Plate in place overlapping the ends of the adjoining BASE-RAYAssemblies. Secure with moulding (not furnished) at top and bottom.

9.Installation of Baseboard Extension, Splice Plates, End Caps and Filler Pieces.

BASEBOARD EXTENSION – Extension panels are furnished in six foot lengths but may be cut to desired lengths with hacksaw. Extensions are supported by hang- ers which are attached to studs (stud locations determined in Step 1) with two No. 10 x 1-1/2” wood screws.

Screw hangers to studs so that there is a hanger located at the extreme ends of the Baseboard Extension and at two foot intervals along its length. If construction members are not suitably located, use Moly Screw anchors to secure Hangers to wall. Bottom of Hangers should rest on ¿nished Àoor unless BASE-RAY has been raised for wall-to-wall carpeting (see page 9). If such is the case, Hangers must be raised an equal amount.

Install END CAPS on Extension (see succeeding para- graph), insert lip on top rear of Extension into slot at top of Hangers and snap channel on bottom of Extension under spacer arm on lower part of Hanger.

SPLICE PLATES – used to make neat covering for joint where two Extension Panels butt together or where Ex- tension Panel terminates at BASE-RAY.

Plate hooks on bottom of Splice Plate over lip on bottom of Extension Panel and push top of Splice Plate toward wall until hooks on top of the Splice Plate snap into posi- tion behind the Extension or the BASE-RAY. When the Splice Plate is used to join an Extension Panel to BASE- RAY, bottom hook which overlaps BASE-RAY must be cut off.

END CAPS – available in both left-hand and right-hand patterns for ¿nishing off ends of Baseboard Extensions that terminate at doorways or at Valve Enclosures. They can be used where Extensions butt against BASE-RAY in preference to Splice Plate.

Remove Knockout in end of End Cap if piping is to run in this direction. Slide over end of Extension Panel.
