| New open-style fitting for KeeGuard® roof edge railing systems  Kee Industrial Products, Inc. announces the introduction of a new open fitting, model #135-8, to make the installation of its KeeGuard® roof edge fall protection railing systems faster and easier. The new fitting allows the guardrail to be placed into the saddle of the fitting instead of being fed through the upright. This saves time and labor costs, according to the company, while also providing design flexibility and heightened aesthetics for circular roof configurations. KeeGuard is a freestanding, counterbalanced modular guardrail system for flat and low-sloped roofs that installs without welding, drilling or penetrating the roof membrane.The new model #135-8 open fitting is designed for use with 1-˝" schedule 40 standard pipe and, as part of the KeeGuard system, it is galvanized for corrosion resistance. Kee Industrial says that the new fitting also makes KeeGuard easier to disassemble and re-install as needed. The new fitting is now standard on all specified KeeGuard products including models with 90-degree or 11-degree raked uprights and configurations for skylights, and stair railings. The original crossover fitting is still available as a design preference, or to use when expanding current KeeGuard installations. The company states that the new model #135-8 fitting for KeeGuard installs up to twice as fast as conventional systems and is part of four easy-to-assemble, pre-fabricated modular components utilizing Kee Klamp® slip-on, structural pipe fittings. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
