Hot work fall protection: the double-leg Y Kevlar fibre energy-absorbing lanyard
3M purchase code: 7012817359, model: 1340186C
The Protecta 3M 1340186C hot work shock absorbing lanyard is a double-leg Y 4 ft (1.22 m) 100% tie-off lanyard built for fall protection during welding, grinding and hot work. Its flame-resistant Kevlar fibre web withstands sparks and molten metal splatter, while its energy absorber, housed in a heat-resistant cover, deploys progressively during a fall to reduce the arresting forces transmitted to the worker.
It connects by means of one steel spring-loaded snap hook at the harness attachment point and two large steel rebar hooks at the anchorage ends. Its double-leg Y configuration enables 100% tie-off: the worker anchors one leg before releasing the other, staying attached at all times while moving at height. A fall indicator lets you quickly spot a lanyard that has already arrested a fall.
The maximum supported worker weight is between 121 and 310 lb (54.9 to 140.6 kg), including clothing, tools and equipment. This product is certified to CSA Z259.11.
Understanding the fall clearance window
Before using this energy-absorbing lanyard, calculate the fall clearance, that is, the free space required below the anchorage point to arrest a fall before the worker strikes the ground or an obstacle. This clearance window adds up from several elements: the length of the lanyard, the deployment of the energy absorber, the height of the worker, the dorsal D-ring slide and a safety margin. A miscalculation is one of the most common causes of serious injuries at height, even with compliant equipment.
Example for this 4 ft lanyard: the lanyard (4 ft) plus the absorber deployment (4 ft) plus the worker height (6 ft) plus a safety margin (1.5 ft) give a total clearance of about 15.5 ft (4.7 m) below an overhead anchorage. In low-clearance situations, choose a self-retracting lifeline instead.
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about the hot work lanyard
Why choose a Kevlar fibre lanyard for hot work?
Kevlar fibre is flame-resistant: it does not melt or ignite on contact with sparks or molten metal splatter. It is the right choice for welding, grinding and all hot work where a standard polyester web would be damaged.
What is the capacity of this lanyard?
This lanyard is designed for a worker whose total weight, including tools, is between 121 and 310 lb (54.9 to 140.6 kg).
What is 100% tie-off with a double-leg Y lanyard?
The double-leg Y lanyard has two legs. When moving at height, the worker first anchors the free leg to a new point before releasing the first one, so they always remain connected to at least one anchor, hence the term "100% tie-off". This is the recommended configuration for repeated transitions between several anchor points.
What is the required fall clearance with this 4 ft lanyard?
Adding the lanyard (4 ft), the absorber deployment (4 ft), the worker height (6 ft) and a safety margin (1.5 ft), you need about 15.5 ft (4.7 m) of clearance below an overhead anchorage.
What happens if my anchor is at foot level?
This is the most dangerous scenario, fall factor 2: the free fall can reach twice the lanyard length. This energy absorbing lanyard is designed to dissipate the energy of a severe fall and reduce arresting forces, making it suitable when the anchor is at foot level.
Complementary suggestions for the lanyard:
Beyond fall arrest, equip the worker from head to toe: protect their hands with cut-resistant gloves (G100), their eyes with safety eyewear (YA12E90801), and their hearing in noisy areas with earplugs (O1100) or earmuffs (OPH10B); on a traffic worksite, add a high-visibility vest (VV53).
To complete your fall protection system, combine your lanyard with reliable anchors: a connector (FPA826), a secondary anchor (FPAF075N) or a fitting (FPA822). Connect it to an ExoFit harness (FPH140201XCALP) or the model (FPH140200XCA), and post the mandatory-use sign (ECO130).
