1. Be sure the locations for all uprights and counter balances are free from stone and loose debris.

2. Position a KeeGuard upright (KGU) at the start of the run, leaving 18" for a "D" return (see "TERMINATION" below). Note: uprights are adjustable from 90 to 79 degrees from the horizontal. Connect a CB4 PVC counter balance assembly (to make the counter balance assembly, see below) to the KGU with the 66" long 1 1/4" pipe (1.66" OD) and snug the set screws.

3. Position a KGU at 3' 3" from the first upright and connect a CB3 PVC assembly with the 42" long 1 1/4" pipe (1.66" OD) and snug the set screws.

4. Position a KGU at 6' 6" from the previous upright and connect a CB1 PVC assembly with the 36" long 1 1/4" pipe (1.66 OD) and snug the set screws.

5. Position two more KGU at 6' 6" from the previous uprights and connect a CB1 PVC assemblies with the 36" long 1 1/4" pipe (1.66 OD) and snug the set screws.

6. Set the 1 1/2" pipe (2" OD) into the Kee Klamp type 135-8 fittings to create the top rail. If the run is longer than 21', cut a section of 1 1/2" pipe (2" OD) in half and set this section to create the mid rail. Cutting the pipe in half will stagger the couplings. Plumb the uprights and snug the set screws.

7. Position three more KGU at 6' 6" from the previous uprights and connect a CB1 PVC assemblies with the 36" long 1 1/4" pipe (1.66" OD) and snug the set screws.

8. Set the 1 1/2" pipe (2" OD) into the Kee Klamp type 135-8 fittings, connecting the the rails with the Kee Klamp type 14-8 coupling. Snug the set screws.

9. Continue installing the KeeGuard at 6' 6" intervals.

10. At 90 degree corners, use Kee Klamp type 15-8 fitting. Ensure that an upright is located no more than 20" from the corner. The total running length between uprights at the corner must be no greater than 6' 6".

11. IMPORTANT: Once the railing is installed, go back and install the 77-7 plastic plugs in all open pipe ends, plumb all uprights and make sure all counter balances are perpendicular the the railing. TIGHTEN ALL SET SCREWS to a torque of 29 foot pounds. We strongly suggest putting a tick mark next to each set screw with a marker as you tighten them. This assures that you don't miss any.

TO MAKE COUNTER BALANCE ASSEMBLIES

For the CB1 PVC, insert the 75-7 collar fitting into the slot closest to the square edge of the counter weight and insert the 36" 1 1/4" pipe (1.66 OD) completely into the counter balance weight thru the 75-7. Tighten set screw.

For the CB3 PVC and CB4 PVC, use the 26-7 cross fitting to connect the perpendicular counter balance weights to the 1 1/4" pipe (1.66" OD). Make sure on the CB4 PVC that the counter balance weights are at the end of the pipe and that the 4 weights butt together. See images below.

CORNERS THAT ARE NOT 90 DEGREES

At corners that are not 90 degrees or where there is a turn in the straight run, use Kee Klamp type BC53-88 swivel fitting. Be sure there is no more than 6' 6" between uprights.

TERMINATION

At the beginning and end of a KeeGuard run there must be a KGU with a CB4 PVC assembly and a KGU with CB3 PVC assembly 3' 3" from the CB4 PVC assembly, unless the termination is fastened to a wall with Kee Klamp type 61-8 fittings. The closest upright must be no more than 6' 6" from the wall.

"D" returns are used at the free end of the termination and must extend no greater than 20" from the first upright.
