Application

For use on new and existing buildings with working platforms, roofs or technical terraces having slopes between 0°and 4° and no public access.

Description

Fixed safety guardrail system for use on new and existing buildings with working platforms, roofs or technical terraces having slopes between 0° and 4° and no public access. Comprising straight, curved or inclined aluminium uprights, with hand and kneerails, all connected via EZ-FIX clamping system to allow fast assembly and accurate level adjustment. Can be fixed to various roof or platform types; fixing is dictated by whether parapet is present, and weatherproofing methods used on the building.


Features and benefits:

  • Complies with requirements of EN 13374 and EN ISO 14122-3, section 8.2.
  • Conforms to European Directive 2001/45/CE.


Mounting plates:

Fixing is dependent on whether parapet exists and weatherproofing of building; consult Latchways. For fixing plates to structure use M10 or M12 diameter fixings, preferably with chemical plugs. Strength of receiving structure must be checked against traction forces generated by VersiRail®.

  • 200 mm slab mounting, for direct fixing to slab if no parapet or if mounting set back from edge. Sealing collar 22070-00 is recommended.
  • 250 mm slab mounting, for fixing to slab where fixing needs to pass through insulation on the upper surface. Sealing collar 22072-00 is recommended. Minimum parapet width 120 mm.
  • Wall mounting, for use on parapet 200 mm minimum high, i.e. where there is sufficient height to avoid drilling through weathersealing of structure. Minimum parapet width 120 mm. Can also be fixed to façade of building.
  • Cutout wall mounting, for use with parapet with top covers and allows fixing to interior parapet wall. Minimum parapet width 120 mm.
  • Parapet mounting, for mounting on top of parapet. Minimum parapet width 120 mm.
  • Steelwork mounting, for fixing to structural frame.
  • Steelwork mounting, folding. As above but allows handrail to fold.
  • Z-type mounting, fixes to top of parapet for use when height of parapet prevents use of wall fixing, or where drilling through weathersealing of structure must be avoided, or where the aesthetic effect is preferred over parapet mounting. Minimum parapet width 120 mm. Compatible with installation of wall coping.
