Stainless steel permanent roof anchorage connectors for fall protection on wood or metal decking. Supports 310 lb

Stainless steel permanent roof anchorage connector

The Peakworks permanent roof anchorage connector is a rugged anchor point designed for the fall protection of workers at heights. Fitted with two D-rings and made of stainless steel, it offers lasting corrosion resistance, making it ideal for a permanent installation exposed to the weather. It installs on both wood and metal decking surfaces.

The choice of stainless steel matters: it lets this connector stay in place under shingles or on a metal roof for years without rusting away, unlike a temporary anchor. According to the manufacturer, the anchor is designed to withstand static forces of 5000 lb (22 kN), in compliance with the ANSI Z359.1-2007 and CSA Z259.15-12 standards. The maximum worker weight is 310 lb (140 kg), including clothing, tools and equipment. Peakworks manufacturer code: V8229104, model RB-9900. Built for harsh environments, it withstands temperatures from -40 °F to 130 °F (-40 °C to 54 °C). Dimensions: thickness 1/16 in (2 mm), length 17 ¾ in (45.1 cm), width 1 ¾ in (42 mm). Sold individually.

About the anchorage point and its installation

For installation on a wood frame, position yourself on the gable, less than 5 ft (1.5 m) from the edge, and first check the condition of the materials you are tying off to. Use nails (not included) to connect the device to a plywood sheet. Installed directly on wood (under the shingles), it can be left in place and reused until the part is damaged by rust. On a 24-gauge metal roof, use 10 #8 screws of ¾ in (19 mm); the other screws must be fixed to studs or structural members, distributing the load along the length of the anchor. The anchor point should preferably be located above the level of the harness dorsal D-ring; the worker must stay below this point within an angle of no more than 45 degrees.

Anchorage connector inspection

Before each use, inspect the connector for any sign of corrosion, cracking, deformation, wear or loose fasteners. Check the integrity of the D-rings and the fixing points to the structure. Any connector that is damaged, deformed or has been subjected to a fall must be taken out of service immediately. A qualified person should also carry out a periodic inspection. Sylprotec offers a fall protection equipment inspection service; to learn more, see the Services tab.

Anchorage connector maintenance

Stainless steel requires little maintenance, but clean the connector with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh abrasive or chemical products. Dry thoroughly and store sheltered when the connector is not installed. Regularly check for corrosion at the contact points with the structure.
