8.0 INSTALLATION RGC-KIT-18V
Appendix Diagram 3
8.1 When assembling the RoofGuard Kit RGC-KIT-18V, workers
should be back from the roof edge (per local regulations), or be
attached to a fall protection system until the setup is complete.
8.2 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.
8.3 Baseplates should be set out with approximate spacing per
the sketch (RGC-KIT-18V) with pavers or rubber pads underneath
them, as required by the roof surface; one baseplate at the 3
leading edge locations and three baseplate at the 2 tie-back
locations. Tie-back locations are 6-feet behind the two corner
posts, at the ends of the hazard edge.
8.4 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.
8.5 At the corner, a B-POST-CORNER should be placed into the
single baseplate. Torque all contacting baseplate set screws to
25ft-lbs.
8.6 Between A-POST-END and B-POST-CORNER, two of the 6-foot
aluminum rails should be secured using the fittings. The top fittings
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 fittings is at the mid-point
(21” from top or bottom) of the post. Torque the set-screws in all
aluminum fittings to 16ft-lbs.
