How King Klamps Work |
 |
|
King Klamps can be easily and quickly installed by one person. They are also fully adjustable to accommodate different edge thicknesses and the two types of Klamp allow for use of either scaffolding or timber rails as horizontals. The six steps laid out below demonstrate the installation process. Alternatively check out our 3D animation to see the Klamp in action. |
 |
Step 1 |
The two parts of the Klamp are separated by sliding them apart to create an opening to fit the thickness of the edge to be protected. |
 |
|
Step 2 |
The Klamp is then positioned so that the exposed edge slots into the opening between the two parts of the Klamp. The base of the upright support rests on the top surface of the exposed edge and the slotted adjustment piece is lifted vertically until it comes into contact with the under surface of the edge. |

|
Step 3 |
While holding the Klamp in place, insert the wedge into the adjustment slot nearest the floor. |
 |
|
Step 4 |
Use a mallet to drive home the wedge to tighten the Klamp against the edge. |
 |
|
Step 5 |
Scaffold tube guard rails are then attached horizontally to the upright supports using standard scaffold clips, or with the Square Rail Klamp, timber guard rails are slotted in place and secured with nails or screws. |
 |
|
Step 6 |
Finally a timber toe board is slotted in place at the base and secured with nails or screws. |
