General safety information

Please note that our general mounting instructions must be followed at all times and can be viewed online at k2-systems.com.

  • The equipment may only be installed and operated by qualified and adequately trained installers.
  • Prior to installation, ensure that the product complies with on-site static loading requirements. For roof-mounted systems, the roof load-bearing capacity must always be checked.
  • National and local building regulations and environmental requirements must be adhered to.
  • Compliance with health and safety regulations, accident prevention guidelines and applicable standards is required.
  • Protective equipment such as safety helmet, boots and gloves must be worn.
  • Roofing works must be in accordance with roofing regulations utilising  fall protection safeguards when eaves height exceeds 3 m.
  • At least two people must be present for the durationof the installation work in order to provide rapid assistance in the event of an emergency.
  • K2 mounting systems are continuously developed and improved and the installation process may thereby change at any time. Prior to installation consult our website at k2-systems.com for up-to-date instructions. We can send you the latest version on request.
  • The assembly instructions of the module manufacturer must be adhered to.
  • Equipotential bonding/grounding/earthing between individual parts is to be performed according to country specific standards, as well as national laws and regulations.
  • At least one copy of the assembly instructions should be available on site throughout the duration of the installation.
  • Failure to adhere to our general safety and assembly instructions and not using all system components, K2 is not liable for any resulting defects or damages. We do not accept liability for any damage resulting in the use of competitor’s parts. Warranty is excluded in such cases.
  • German law shall apply excluding the UN Convention on CISG. Place of venue is Stuttgart. Our General Terms of Business apply.
  • If all safety instructions are adhered to and the system is correctly installed, there is a product warranty entitlement of 12 years! We strongly recommend reviewing our terms of guarantee, which can be viewed at k2-systems.com. We will also send this information on request.
  • ismantling of the system is performed in reverse order to the assembly.
  • K2 stainless steel components are available in different corrosion resistance classes. Each structure or component must be carefully checked for possible corrosion exposure.

The following guidelines apply

The MiniRail MK2 system can be used without further testing by K2 Systems in the following standard conditions. The system is also suitable for higher requirements. However, if a value exceeds the standard conditions, please contact K2 Systems.

Planning with K2 Base
We recommend our free online software K2 Base for the planning. In five steps, you can plan the right assembly system and get a construction recommendation, parts list and the structural analysis report. Simply register and start planning: base.k2-systems.com

Roof requirements

  • Trapezoidal sheet metal thickness
  • Aluminium ≥ 0,5 mm (with a tensile strength of 165 N/mm²)
  • Steel ≥ 0,4 mm (S235 acc. DIN EN 10025-1)
  • Min. 22 mm crest width (The project-specific minimum high crest width dimension can be found in the Base report. It depends on the crest distance.)
  • High crest distance 101 - 350 mm
  • Flush area surrounding the bore hole: ≥ 20 mm
  • Roof pitch regularly: 5 - 75°

Structural requirements

  • The static verification of components is automatically calculated for each location using our Base planning software
  • Sufficient holding force of the roof covering on the support or substructure

Important mounting instructions

  • On-site general standards and regulations for lightning protection must be observed and consultation with a specialist to create a lightning protection concept is recommended (use lightning protection clamp if necessary).
  • MiniFive elevation: The exact mounting angle deviates slightly from 5° depending on the module width. This angle decreases with higher module widths.
  • We recommend a thermal separation after maximum of 17.6 m.
  • If the trapezoidal sheet is fastened with storm washers, please do not fasten the MiniRails on the storm washers! Spacing must be measured beforehand.
  • Module frame heights
  • K2 Clamps: 25 - 40 mm
  • OneMid/OneEnd: 30 - 42 mm
  • Adhere to module manufacturer recommendations for clamping area and module installation (see module manufacturer instructions) – tightening torque 14 Nm with M8 screw.
  • Fasten the MiniRail to trapezoidal sheets with building approved self-tapping screws.
  • No pre-drilling required! Predrill only with over- lapping sheets to reduce spacing.
