GETTING READY: UNPACK BEAMS
Locate the area that the clean room is going to be assembled and mark out on the ground the final dimensions of
the room with tape or suitable substitute. This is helpful in a later step to ensure the room is “true” and square.
** ONLY USE IPA AS CLEANER ON PAINTED METAL SURFICES TO AVOID RESIDUES THAT MAY CAUSE
ISSUES WITH THE DUAL LOCK ADHESIVE **
Open the beam boxes on the ground and leave the beams on the boxes. Remove and dispose of the shipping blocks
and shipping hardware.

FRAME PREPARATION
Reference your Curtain drawing at the beginning of the manual for the beam layout. On the ground, arrange and
bolt together one section of side beams and their corresponding center beam(s) as seen in the diagram below.
Ensure that the 11/64” holes running along the beams are oriented UP. Keep the beams protected by keeping them
on their shipping boxes. Note the installation order of the washer, lock washer and bolt in the diagram below.
EXAMPLE CURTAIN DRAWING BEAM ASSEMBLY EXAMPLE
ROOM NOTES:
*Larger rooms with more than 4 legs will start by building one “Four Leg Section” of the frame and then add
additional beam sections to the standing structure as described in the FRAME ASSEMBLY section.

LEG PREPARATION
Note the installation order of the washer, lock washer and bolt. Attach the corner brackets (577 Corner Gusset) to
the legs by manually turning the bolt three full threads by hand. This reduces the chances of cross threading when
using a power driver. Assemble the brackets with the open sides towards each other as seen below. Leave the bolts
loose until the legs are attached to the frame.
NOTES: *Rooms over 8’ in height have special Right and Left handed extended Brackets and matching legs

*Rooms with six or more legs will require assembling legs with 3 or 4 brackets. Reference the curtain drawing at the
beginning of this manual for quantity and locations.
*Rooms with casters will require the installation of the casters into the legs. The casters are shipped separately in
the hardware box. Slide the top of the caster insert into the bottom of the leg. If necessary, carefully drive the
insert in with a mallet and dowel.

FRAME ASSEMBLY
Using a cardboard box under the beams, position the Lift so that the fork extensions span under a center beam(s).
Clamp the Frame to the fork extension to aid stability. Position a worker on a ladder at a corner to help carefully lift
the structure to the room height. Position a leg in the corner and bolt the leg bracket and corner strut to the side
beam as shown. Leave the lift in place and repeat this process at each corner.

With all four legs attached use one person on each end to lift the additional side beams into place. Bolt them to the
leg brackets while securing the second side of the corner struts. Check the frames dimensions and the spacing of
the legs at the floor to ensure the room is square while tightening all bolts. It is now safe to remove the lift. Use the
leg levelers to plumb the room.
ROOMS W/ MULTIPLE SECTIONS:
Larger rooms with multiple sections are built by adding
additional sections to the first by following the same
procedure.
