Typically, an 8d nail 6” (o.c.) is used to connect 
panels to top and 
bottom plates at 
spline connections 
and for dimensional 
plating.  Staples are 
permitted, provided 
they meet the 
following criteria:            
Minimum length = 
1.5” 14 gauge  
@ 6” o.c.,  16 gauge 
@ 4” o.c

Field fabrication will be necessary on the site 
if you ordered stock panels.  Even on factory 
fabricated panels, slight field modifications 
may be necessary to allow for panel growth 
or variations in the actual field dimensions. 
Modifications are not difficult.  Common 
construction tools will suffice for most projects 
with the only additional recommended tool being 
a foam scoop/hot knife (available for purchase) 
for quick and easy recessing of the foam core. 

When performing field modifications to 
panels, wait to make measurements and 
modifications until the previous panel has 
been placed into its final position.  When 
cutting wall panels, make sure you have 
the correct panel, and that it is PROPERLY 
ORIENTED (horizontal electrical chases are 
at the bottom of the panel).  Remember to 
take an extra 1/8” off the desired dimension.  
We recommend using a pencil to mark your 
lines on the panel skin, as chalk lines tend 
to blow off when the saw blade approaches.
