OSHA Compliant
The Kee Klamp safety components, and specially designed KeeGuard
safety components, when used to construct the KeeGuard railing system,
using a 42’’ high guard railing, will meet or exceed the requirements of the
OSHA Safety Standard of a single 200 lb. load applied at any location and
in any direction along the top of the rail when the correct specication of
pipe is used and the correct method of design is employed. The integrity
of the structure to which the system may be xed and the xings used
will need to be inspected to ensure that they are capable of meeting the
imposed load requirements.

Kee®Guard Termination
The beginning and end of every continuous run must have
one of three possible congurations:
Option 1: (shown in Fig. 1 - Option 1) A CB7 PVC assembly
spaced 8’ from the following CB1
Option 2: (Shown in Fig. 1 - Option 2) A KGU with a CB4 PVC
assembly and a KGU with a CB3 PVC as¬sembly 3’ 3’’ from the
CB4 PVC assembly or A KGU with a CB7 PVC assembly unless
fastened to a structural member.
Option 3: (Shown in Fig. 2 - Option 3) Fasten the KeeGuard
rail into brickwork or steel using two Kee Klamp Type 61-8
(Wall Flange) OR two Kee Klamp type v (ange). The closest
upright should be placed no further than 8’ from the
wall or steel.
*Be sure to verify with your company representative
which ending option your system was provided with.
If you purchased shop drawings please follow the
layout on the drawings exactly.
Corners
At corners greater than or less than 90° where a run is
continuous, use Kee Klamp Type BC53-88 (Swivel Elbow).
Be sure the spacing is no greater than 8’ between the
uprights, with one upright being no further than 20’’ from
the corner. See Fig. 1.

CB1 PVC
Counterbalance Assembly
CB1 PVC assemblies consist of one counterbalance and one
42” long 1-1/4” pipe. CB3 PVC assemblies consist of three
counterbalances and one 42” long 1-1/4” pipe. CB4 PVC
assemblies consist of four counterbalances and one 66’’
long 1-1⁄4’’ pipe. CB7 PVC assemblies consist of seven
counterbalances and one 66” long pipe.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: Only one (1) Kee Klamp TYPE 74-7 (Collar)
should be used each one (1) KeeGuard Type 440-7 (PVC Counter-
balance). The use of more than one Collar will result in not having
enough Collars to complete the job. Only one collar is necessary per
each PVC Counterbalance to create a safe and compliant system
saving you time and money.

Installation Instructions
1. Be sure the locations for all uprights and counter-
balances are free from stone and debris. Kee Safety advises
that KeeGuard should not be installed during snowy or icy
weather unless all snow and ice is cleared rst.
2. Position a KGU (KeeGuard Upright). Angle of uprights are
adjustable between 90° and 79° from the horizontal. Connect
a CB4 PVC counterbalance assembly* (see IMPORTANT NOTE
below), to the KGU with the 66’’ long 1-1⁄4’’ pipe and tighten
the set screws to 29 lbs/ft (39 Nm). Install plug on end of
tube.
3. Position a KGU at 4’ from the rst upright and connect a
CB3 PVC assembly with the 42’’ long 1-1⁄4’’ pipe and tighten
the set screws to 29 lbs/ft (39 Nm).
4. Position a KGU at 8’ from the previous upright and connect
a CB1 PVC assembly with the 42’’ long 1-1⁄4’’ pipe and tighten
the set screws to 29 lbs/ft (39 Nm).
5. Set the 1-1⁄2’’ galvanized pipe into the Kee Klamp Type
135-8 at the top and at the mid section of the uprights to
form two rails and tighten the set screws. Connect the
lengths of handrail together using Kee Klamp Type 14-8
(Straight Coupling) and tighten the set screws to 29 lbs/ft
(39 Nm). Be sure to stagger the joints of the horizontal rails.
Ideally the Type 14-8 (Straight Coupling) connections on the
mid rail and top rail should be offset by 8’.
6. Continue along the roof edge repeating steps 4 & 5.
7. At 90° corners, use Kee Klamp Type 15-8 (90°Elbow).
Ensure that an upright is located less than 20’’ from the
corner. The total length between uprights around the corner
must be no greater than 8’.
