How to Install the Panduit Wire Basket Trapeze Bracket

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Panduit Wire Basket Trapeze Bracket (PWBTB series) using either traditional or center hole mounting methods. Ensure all customer-supplied hardware is available before beginning.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wrench set, Measuring tape

Supplies needed:

1/2" or M12 Threaded Rods (Customer Supplied), Washers (Customer Supplied), Nuts (Customer Supplied), Panduit PWBHK** Hanger Kits (Sold Separately), Threaded Rod Cover (TRC18FR-X20Y, Sold Separately, for center hole installation)

  1. Prepare Threaded Rods

    Ensure that 1/2" or M12 threaded rods are securely installed in the desired location. The bracket side holes are designed to accommodate these rod sizes. Verify the rods are plumb and spaced appropriately for your chosen installation method (traditional or center hole).

  2. Position the Trapeze Bracket

    Place the Trapeze Bracket onto the prepared threaded rods. Choose between 'Traditional Installation' where rods pass through the outer holes, or 'Center Hole Installation' where a single rod passes through the center hole. For wire basket applications with a center line wire, the Trapeze Bracket or the Wire Basket may be shifted to provide necessary clearance.

  3. Secure the Trapeze Bracket

    Fasten the Trapeze Bracket to the threaded rods using customer-supplied washers and nuts. Tighten all nuts securely to ensure the bracket is firmly held in place and level. Do not overtighten, but ensure there is no wobble.

  4. Attach the Wire Basket

    Connect the wire basket to the installed Trapeze Bracket using the Panduit PWBHK** Hanger Kits (sold separately). Follow the instructions provided with the hanger kits to properly secure the wire basket to the bracket.

  5. Final Adjustments and Load Distribution

    Make any final adjustments to the Trapeze Bracket or wire basket to ensure proper alignment and clearance. For center rod installations, ensure the load is distributed evenly across the width of the basket to maintain proper balance and prevent tipping. It is best practice to apply a threaded rod cover (TRC18FR-X20Y, sold separately) for center hole installation applications.
