KeeGuard

Product catalog summary

Introduction
KeeGuard is a guardrail system by Kee Safety designed for permanent edge protection without penetrating roofing membranes, preventing water damage and noise disturbances.

Unique Systems
The system uses a cantilever principle for strength, suitable for various roof types, including warm deck and inverted flat roofs, and adaptable for industrial cladded pitched roofs with KeeGuard Topfix.

Durability
Components are galvanized to BS EN ISO 1461 and ASTM A53 standards, ensuring a maintenance-free system. Stainless steel locking screws are used, and products are available in aluminum.

Component-Based Systems
The system uses galvanized or aluminum tubing connected via the KEE KLAMP method, with base feet connected to recycled PVC counterweights for stability.

Versatility
KeeGuard systems can fit various roof shapes and sizes, including circular designs, and accommodate changes in levels and roof details like ductwork and cable trays.

Membrane Protection
Rubber matting and sacrificial pads protect the roof membrane, with pedestrian tiles recommended for warm deck roofs.

Testing & Certification
The system is tested to EN 13374 Class A, EN ISO 14122 Part 3, NF E85-003, EN 1991-1-4, and BS 6399 Part 2 for wind load compliance.

Official Documentation
Complies with Work at Height Regulations, HSG 33, HSE Construction Sheet No. 21, and EU Directives.

Aesthetics
The system can be powder-coated for enhanced aesthetics, with options for discreet protection using raked, radiused, or folding versions.

Distribution
Available for supply and installation or as components through Kee Safety or licensed distributors.

Industrial Cladded Roofs
KeeGuard Topfix is designed for metal profile and standing seam roofs up to 45°.

Product Specifications
Complies with EN 13374, EN 14122-3, NF E85-003, and North American standards. Uses steel tubing, galvanized components, and recycled PVC counterweights.

Layout and Installation
Guardrail height is set at 1100mm, with vertical supports at maximum 3m centers. Wind loading is calculated to ensure compliance with relevant standards.

Components
Includes base foot, elbow connectors, tee connectors, saddle clamps, and various tubes, all designed for easy assembly and durability.

Specifications:

Materials: Components are made from malleable cast iron, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and PVC, adhering to standards like BS 1562, BS EN ISO 1461, ASTM A47-77-32510, and ASTM A53.
Components: Key components include collars, two socket crosses, wall/ladder clamps, wall fixings, plastic caps, and various types of gates and tubes.

Procedures:

Assembly Guide: Step-by-step assembly process includes laying out support legs, forming corners with 90º elbows, and securing components with grub screws.
Installation Recommendations: Maintain a safe distance of at least 2 meters from the roof edge during installation, with specific spacing guidelines for support legs.

Standards and Compliance:

Components and assembly processes comply with international safety standards, ensuring reliability and safety.

Key Components and Their Functions:

Collar (74-7): Connects the cantilever tube to the counterweight.
Two Socket Cross (26-7): Joins two counterweights together.
Wall/Ladder Clamp (SL109C): Used to terminate the system against a façade or clamp to a structure.
Self-Closing Gates: Available in various sizes and finishes, spring-loaded and adjustable on-site.

Assembly Stages:

Stage 1: Position support legs at a safe distance from the roof edge.
Stage 2: Insert main rail tubes into saddle clamps and secure with grub screws.
Stage 3: Form corners using 90º elbows and position additional support legs.
Stage 4: Lift and position the assembled bay, ensuring stability with counterweights.
Stage 5: Finalize the positioning of intermediate support legs and counterweights.

Specifications and Procedures:
The document outlines assembly and installation procedures for a guardrail system, focusing on PVC Counter Weights and Cantilever Tubes, ensuring compliance with standards like EN 13374, EN 14122-3, and OSHA regulations.

Standards and Recommendations:
Details configurations for roof types and pitches, with guidelines for restrained and unrestrained roof types.

Inspection and Maintenance:
Periodic inspections by a competent person are recommended every 12 months to ensure system integrity.

KeeGuard System Overview MEMBRANE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Each system is installed with rubber matting bonded to the underside of metal components which come into contact with the roof membrane. In some cases the counter weight and base foot have sacrificial pads placed between the edge protection components and the roof membrane. This protects the roof membrane from damage via heat transfer or direct contact with components. On warm deck roof construction specifications pedestrian tiles are recommended to be placed where base feet and counter weights are in contact with the roof membrane. Where KeeGuard...
