7.0 INSTALLATION RGC-KIT-09
Appendix Diagram 2
7.1 When assembling the RoofGuard Kit RGC-KIT-09, workers
should be back from the roof edge (per local regulations) or be
attached to a fall protection system until the setup is complete.
7.2 Clear the area for the RoofGuard baseplates of any snow, ice,
or loose dirt/debris. Depending on the roof surface, a rubber
pad (for membranes) or paver (for gravel) may be placed on the
rooftop as an interface between the baseplates and the roofing
material.
7.3 Baseplates should be set out with approximate spacing per the
sketch (RGC-KIT-09) with pavers or rubber pads underneath them,
as required by the roof
surface; 1 baseplate at the 2 leading edge locations and 3
baseplates at the 2 tie-back locations. Tie-back locations are 6-feet
behind the 2 corner posts at the ends of the hazard edge.
7.4 At the ends of the tie-back portions, a A-POST-END should
be placed into the stack of 3 baseplates. Depending on the
orientation of the baseplate and the hole chosen, there may be
one or two set-screws. Torque all contacting baseplate set screws
to 25ft-lbs.
7.5 At the corner, a B-POST-END should be placed into the single
baseplate. Torque all contacting baseplate set-screws to 25ft-lbs.
7.6 Between A-POST-END and B-POST-END, two of the 6-foot
aluminum rails should be secured using the fittings. The top fitting
should be flush with the plastic cap, ensuring the top rail is at 42”
above the bottom of the post. The mid-rail should be adjusted by
the installer so that the center of the fitting is at the mid-point
(21” from top or bottom) of the Post. Torque the set-screws in all
aluminum fittings to 16ft-lbs.
