Model F - Corrugated Fiberglass


			Model F

The Model F FallGuard® Skylight Screens PREVENT falls through corrugated fiberglass (CF) skylights. They are simple to install and will prove to be cost effective in view of the exposure in time and dollars expended as a result of a fall through a CF skylight. Being at the same level and having the same profile as the corrugated metal roof panels, they are at times difficult to detect by persons on the roof.

Installation Instructions:

Do not place body weight on skylight during installation. Use extreme caution when installing the FallGuard® Skylight Screens.

Wear gloves when handling skylight screens.

The FallGuard® Skylight Screen channel is to be mounted on the highest corrugation nearest to the center of the skylight.
On the high end, the fiberglass skylight should be under the corrugated metal. Clean and install the 3' x 3' adhesive/sealant pads on the corrugated metal approximately 1” from the edge. Be sure to remove the release liner from the adhesive/sealant pads.
Position the FallGuard® channel so that the three mounting holes in the channel are positioned over the 3" x 3" adhesive pads.
Fasten the high end of the FallGuard® channel to the corrugated metal using the self-drilling screws.
Proceed to lower end of the FallGuard® channel. Clean area under the three holes in the channel and install the 3" x 3" adhesive/sealant pads. Fasten the lower end of the FallGuard® channel to the corrugated metal.
Center the FallGuard® Skylight Screen over skylight and insert the FallGuard®Skylight Screen under the tabs. Bend tabs over the FallGuard®Skylight Screen.
