Description
Joerns N494AL to N497AL are panel retaining kits for Joerns bed frames. N494AL is the foot panel kit, N495AL the head panel kit, N496AL the trapeze adapter kit, and N497AL the Care 100 foot panel kit.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Joerns holds each head or foot panel with brackets, four screws a side and a safety pin.
- The brackets go into the frame sockets. The safety pins latch, then the four screws a side are tightened.
- Head and foot panels mount on their own, so each end has its own hardware.
- The fitting uses a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits a Joerns bed whose panel brackets, screws or safety pins are missing or worn.
- Joerns recommends Joerns panels with Joerns beds rather than mixed parts.
- Choose something else if you need the panel itself. This is the mounting hardware.
Will it fit?
- Choose the part number by use: N494AL foot panel, N495AL head panel, N496AL trapeze adapter, N497AL Care 100 foot panel.
- Joerns laminate panels are 36 or 42 in (91 or 107 cm) wide and 0.75 in (19 mm) deep.
- Panels without a staff control interchange between the head and the foot. A staff-control panel does not.
- We confirm which part number matches your bed before you order.
Using it day to day
- Seat the brackets in the frame sockets, latch the safety pins, then tighten the four screws a side.
- Each month, check bolts, nuts, pins and the other retaining hardware, and tighten anything loose.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- The panel, the bed frame and the mattress are separate from the kit.
- Universal Joerns panels are made for current and legacy Joerns bed models.
- Other add-ons are listed under bed accessories.
How does it compare?
- The Joerns WeCare full-electric bed is one frame that takes Joerns laminate panels.
- The Joerns UltraCare XT is the other current frame in the same panel family.
- The Joerns UltraCare trapeze is the patient helper. N496AL is the adapter kit, not the trapeze bar.

Does one kit cover both ends of the bed?
