Determining the ballast load (floating installation)

Danger!
Risk of death and material damage due to excessive basic wind speeds!

The racks are designed for basic wind speeds of up to 108 km/h. If the basic wind speed at the site is

greater than 108 km/h, then there can be no guarantee claim for the system.

Only install the rack in locations where the basic wind speed is a maximum of 108 km/h.

1.

Please note the following for floating installation:

Installation variants

Please note

B

Weights that are firmly screwed onto the
rack must consist of material capable of
screw connections.

A and B

All weights must be weatherproof.

2.

For detailed determination of the basic wind speed at the site and the required weights for the rack, use the Vaillant tool
for dimensioning the wind and snow loads.

3.

For quick determination of the basic wind speed at the site, use the following map.

4.

For quick dimensioning of the required weights, use the following tables.

Note

The map and tables are used for quick dimensioning of the ballast loads. Detailed dimensioning of the ballast
loads is only possible using the Vaillant tool for dimensioning the wind and snow loads. If you have any ques-
tions on this subject, please contact your responsible Vaillant sales partner.
