KeeGuard freestanding roof edge protection
Technical specifications

The modular components of the KeeGuard fall protection railing system typically allow two installers to install 100m a day once all the materials are on the roof.

Stage 1

Starting at least 2m away from the roof edge at the corner, stand up the two support legs.

Stage 2

Place a Main Rail Tube (8610) into the bottom Saddle Clamp (135-8) of each of the standing legs.
Position the tube so there is at least 60mm protruding from the Saddle Clamp (135-8) and tighten the Grub Screw. These are located on the front of the Saddle Clamp (135-8).
Place the second Main Rail Tube (8610) into the top Saddle Clamp (135-8), positioning the tube as before, leaving at least 60mm of the tube protruding from the Saddle Clamp (135-8) and tighten the Grub Screw of the Saddle Clamp (135-8).

Stage 3

Form a corner via connecting 2No 90º Elbows (15-8) to one end of each of the Main Rail Tubes (8610).
Position a further Support Leg (3m max – EN 13374) (2.4m max – EN 14122-3) from the corner.
Slide a Main Rail Tube (8610) into the bottom Saddle Clamp (135-8) and 90º Elbow (15-8).
Slide a Main Rail Tube (8610) into the top Saddle Clamp (135-8) and 90º Elbow (15-8).
Tighten the grub screws of all clamps.

Stage 4

Working in pairs carefully lift the assembled bay and walk towards the leading edge.
Carefully place the bay in the desired position and slide the corresponding Counter Weight tube into the Base Foot.
CBT1 (Intermediate Support Leg) or CBT2 (Free Standing End Detail). Always ensure the bay is being held in position whist carrying out this part of the assembly.
At corner Support Legs there is no need for a PVC Counter Weight to be connected.

Stage 5

Intermediate support Legs/PVC Counter Weights Slide 1No. Cantilever Tube (CBT1) into the Base Foot.
Do not tighten at this stage.
Place 1No. Collar (74-7) in the front slot of the PVC Counter Weight. Slide 1No. PVC Counter Weight on to the free end of the Cantilever Tube (CBT1).
Line and level guardrail.
Tighten all grub screws.

Stage 6

Working away from the corner slide a Straight Coupling (14-8) on to the top and intermediate Main Rail Tubes.
Position the clamp so the grub screws are facing outwards and tighten the Grub Screw at the connected end.
Stand up the next Support Leg at the desired position (3m max – EN 13374) (2.4m max – EN 14122-3).
Continue with this method of fitting the Main Rail Tube (8610) and Support Legs together for this run of guardrail, remembering to connect the intermediate Cantilever Tubes (CBT1) and PVC Counter Weights (440-7) to the Support Legs as you proceed.
