INSTALLATION
Step 1
Place the Clamps over the roofing profile and secure
each clamp with two set screws (if required to tighten
set screws located under the plate, remove bolt and
plate, tighten then replace plate).
Step 2
Ensure bolts connecting plate to the Clamps have
Loctite applied and tightened correctly.
NOTE: All bolt threads must be applied with Loctite 243 thread-locker prior to assembly. (IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before applying Loctite 243 use Loctite 7471 primer to activate the surface according to manufacturer’s
instructions).
INSPECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE STRUCTURE AND ROOF SHEETING
-
Installation of anchors can only be made to roof sheeting strong enough to support the anchor point.
-
MINIMUM
roof sheet gauge is
0.42mm
for steel and
0.7mm
for aluminium.
-
Roof sheets must be inspected thoroughly for splits, rust, corrosion damage and correct installation.
-
Ensure the roof sheeting and structure is secured in accordance with Kingspan Insulated Roof Panel
Installation Guide.
BROWNBUILT / KLIP-LOK ROOF PROFILES
Surface Mounted Anchor systems installed on concealed fix roof types may require additional roof fixings.
Additional securing can be made to roof sheets with 12 gauge roofing screws through the roof sheeting into the
purlin/batten,
four (4) above
or
four (4) below
the anchor, on the side of the anchor that falls under two metres
from an edge. This secures the roof sheeting in place to the purlins/battens to prevent horizontal movement in
the event of a fall.
Note: screws may be required on both sides of the anchor depending on the individual
situation.
Surface Mounted Anchor systems installed on concealed fix roof types may require additional roof fixings,
please check individual roof sheet type installation manuals.
FrogLine intermediate anchors must only be spaced at a maximum of 10 metres apart.
If any doubt exists as to the strength of the structure an engineer should make the assessment.
During installation you must be safe at all times.
