Product Specific Applications

Fall Prevention: SSMR G-Rail Bases may be used as a component in Fall Prevention
applications ONLY. Fall Prevention Systems are placed around the leading edges of any and all
fall hazards to prevent a worker from going over an edge, and may be used in substitute of
Fall Protection or safety netting systems. Installation requirements for SSMR G-Rail Bases set
forth in this manual MUST be adhered to. Personal Fall Arrest, Work Positioning, Climbing,
Rescue, and any other systems must NEVER be connected to Fall Prevention Systems.

Components and Specifications

Materials: powder-coated steel.

Installation and Use

Prior to installation, plan your system:
Always ensure that complete G-Rail System, of which SSMR G-Rail Base is a component, is fully compliant
with all applicable OSHA regulations. Always adhere to all instructions provided with equipment. G-Rail
equipment instructions provided separately.
1. Ensure SSMR G-Rail Base is compatible with applicable standing seam roof (see pgs. 5-7). If standing seam
roof is not listed, do not install SSMR G-Rail Base.
2. Ensure compatible seam attachment points exist between 9.5" to 25" apart.
3. Maximum substrate slope is 4/12. This supersedes the 1/12 maximum slope for the G-Rail, which applies
to freestanding systems only.
Assembly and use:
1. Adjust SSMR clamps to fit applicable roof seam spacing. To adjust, loosen clamp bolt, slide clamp to proper
position, and tighten bolt until snug. Repeat for all necessary clamps.
2. Install Guardrail Knuckles (part # 15186) onto SSMR G-Rail Base in accordance with Guardrail Knuckle
instructions.
