Page 4: Application
2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 2.1 The RoofGuard Classic system is designed to be used on flat roofs (up to 5% grade) where the baseplate can sit flat on the roof surface. Depending on the roof surface, a rubber pad or ultra-light paving stone may be used under the baseplates to facilitate safe/stable contact with the roof surface, as freestanding systems rely on friction between the baseplates and the roofing materials. -

3.0 COMPONENTS 3.1 Baseplates are cast steel and hot dip galvanized for long-term outdoor use. These baseplates only weigh 40 lbs and are designed to stack together, making them easy to move and ship. Cone point stainless steel set screws secure the guardrail into the baseplates. Figure 1: Baseplate with set screws and assembly tool 3.2 Vertical posts are supplied with fittings and caps for a variety of configurations:... - Page 6 3.3 Horizontal rails are available in two standard sizes, 9-ft leading edge, and 6-foot return sections. For other sizes, the aluminum pipe is easily cut-to-fit on-site. The 6-ft sections of rail are used for the tie-backs to provide the counter weight for the system. This may also be used along the leading edge where a 9-ft section is too long.

4.0 SYSTEM LAYOUT 4.1 Install baseplates and rails on a flat, clean and dry surface. Clean the area where baseplates will be installed, to ensure good contact with the roof surface. 4.2 If curb or parapet is 4” or more above the top of the baseplate, then bases can be positioned against the parapet. -

5.3 The RoofGuard baseplate has 3 holes, and for RoofGuard Classic, any of the 3 holes is acceptable. Use of the center hole is typical, but for tight areas, or for convenience, an outside hole may be useful. - Page 9 5.5 Use a 3/16” hex drive bit or Allen wrench (provided), and torque baseplate screws to 25ft-lbs. All set screws for stacked plates must be secured against the wall of the vertical posts. 5.6 Once torqued, the set screw can be ‘marked’ with the blue crayon (provided) to provide a visual indicator that the screw has been secured and warn of tam- pering.
