On-grid frame placement

Edit online
Attention: If the Bottom Exit Cabling feature (FC 5820) was not ordered, no floor cutout is required.
  • 24 in (609 mm) floor panels - English
    • A cutout depth of 5.9 in (150 mm)
    • A width of 3.0 in (75 mm) of material must remain at both ends of the cutout (150 mm x 450 mm cutout)
  • 600 mm (23.5 in) floor panels - Metric
    • A cutout depth of 150 mm (5.9 in)
    • A width of 75 mm (3.0 in) of material must remain at both ends of the cutout (150 mm x 450 mm cutout)
    Important: The 3.0 in (75 mm) measurements does not include any cutout edge treatment.

The following figures show the floor cutout options and recommended pedestals for on-grid frame placement, although other placement options are possible. If your floor cutout design is different from the options that are shown in the follow figures, consult with the floor tile manufacturer or a structural engineer.

Important:

Extra pedestals can be placed as shown in the following figure.

These extra pedestals are recommendations. You must decide which, if any, of these recommendations to use.

All pedestals should be adjusted to contact the underside of each floor panel before the frames are rolled into place. Depending on your floor panel type, additional supports (pedestals) may be necessary to restore the structural integrity of cut panels.
