General safety information
Please note that our general mounting instructions must be followed at all times and can be viewed online at www.k2-systems.com/en/technical- information
- 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 roofmounted 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 3m.
- At least two people must be present for the duration of 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 www.k2-systems.com/en/technical-information
- for up-to-date instructions. We can send you the latest version on request.
- The assembly instructions of the module manufacturer must be adhered.
- 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 www.k2-systems.com/en/technical-information We will also send this information on request.
- Dismantling 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 generally applies:
The K2 standing seam system can be used routinely for most wind and snow loads. We recommend using our K2 Base measurement tool for calculating the effective span. Even if the system is capable of meeting higher demands through the integration of safety standards, please get in touch with your contact at K2 Systems if the specified values are exceeded.
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:

Requirements for the roof
- Adequate roof cover holding force on the support structure or substructure.
- Roof incline: 5- 75°
Static requirements
It is important to ensure that the roof cover and support structure can absorb
the forces transmitted from the clamp to the seam.
Important assembly information
-
The standing seam clamp may impede thermally induced changes in length under some circumstances. A distance of 17.5cm between the standing seam clamp and the roof cover brackets (mounting bracket, clip, sliding cleat) must be taken into account to ensure the linear expansion of the roof cover.
-
The installation company must initially check that the standing seam clamps are suitable for the intended purpose.
-
If the roofing material is made of copper, standing seam clamps made of aluminium must only be used in combination with a stainless steel inlay in order to prevent electrochemical corrosion.
-
Pre-position the standing seam clamps and slightly tighten the grub screw. Only tighten the standing seam clamps with the specified tightening torque after mounting the rails.
-
For all clamp fixtures it is important to ensure that the first rail position is installed so that it runs transversely to the seam and, where applicable, with cross bracing.
-
After a maximum of 6.6 m, the components must be thermally separated. For titanium zinc already after a maximum of 3.3 m!
-
The general standards and regulations for lightning protection must be observed on site and,
where appropriate, a specialist must be consulted in order to draw up a lightning protection concept (use a lightning protection clamp if necessary). Country-specific regulations must be observed. -
The tightening torque of all module clamps is 16Nm.
-
A minimum mounting distance of 50mm from the end of the rail/rail joint to the module frame.
-
Observe the manufacturer’s specifications for the clamping range of the module clamps and for mounting the modules (see the manufacturer’s module data sheet)
-
The mounting components are not climbing aids!
-
The system must be checked by a specialist company after exceptional events, such as storms, heavy rain, earthquakes etc. If deformed or loose components or other damage is determined when checking the system, these must be replaced with new components.
