DESCRIPTION

The FallTech® roof anchors covered in this manual are designed to provide an easily mounted anchorage for persons working at height on wood structures and subject to fall hazards.
For purposes of this manual, the anchors are designated as Type A, B, and C, and may be referred to as the anchor, the equipment, or the unit. See Table 1 and Figure 1-A, 1-B, and 1-C in Appendix A (henceforth, all table and figure references are to Appendix A). A list of acronyms for Fall Protection and Fall Arrest is provided in Appendix A.
Type A consists of a heavy-duty plated, forged alloy steel D-ring, mounted to plated steel base plates with pre-drilled holes. The outer rows are for nails and the countersunk center holes are for wood screws.
Type B is available in two configurations, double D-ring and single D-ring. The rings are mounted to a stainless steel base plate, with predrilled holes to accommodate stainless steel nails.
Type C consists of a pre-bent alloy steel base with pre-punched nail holes. The user bends the anchor at creased points, two large holes line up to form the attachment ring.
Type A and B anchors are ANSI Z359.1-2007 compliant and meet all applicable OSHA regulations. The Type C meets all applicable OSHA regulations.

APPLICATION

1. Purpose: Anchor Types A, B, and C are designed for use as an anchorage for a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS). Anchor Type A may also be utilized in restraint systems.
   The Type A anchorage is for use as a temporary, reusable anchorage on the ridge or the field of wood frame roof structures.
   The Type B, double and single D-ring anchor is designed to be used as a permanent anchorage connector on the roof ridge or the roof field of wood framed structures.
   The Type C bent roof anchor is designed for use as a temporary single-use anchorage connector on the ridge of wood frame roof structures.
   A minimum thickness of 7/16” is required for sheathing material.
   1. Personal Fall Arrest System Application: Fall Arrest systems typically include a Full Body Harness (FBH) and a deceleration device such as a Shock Absorbing Lanyard (SAL), a Self-Retracting Device (SRD), or a Fall Arrestor Connector Subsystem (FACSS) when used with a rope grab/SAL. Maximum permissible free fall is six feet. See Figure 2.
   2. Restraint Application: In this application, all anchors may be used as part of a complete restraint system. Such systems typically include an FBH and a lanyard in conjunction with a VLL, or restraint line used to restrain or tether the user from reaching a fall hazard (i.e. leading edge roof work). Restraints are of two types; a restraint lanyard on a manual rope grab or one equipped with a parking feature, or a short tether attached to the anchorage. No vertical free fall is permitted. See Figure 3.
   3. Application Limits: Take action to avoid sharp edges, abrasive surfaces, and thermal, electrical and chemical hazards.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

1. Capacity: The capacity of the anchors in Specifications is listed as 425 lbs. (193 kg). To maintain ANSI Z359 compliance, limit total user weight to no more than 310 lbs. (140.6 kg).
   NOTE: Any use by any worker exceeding a total user weight of 310 lbs. (including tools and equipment) must utilize a PFAS designed for such weight. No more than one PFAS may be connected to one anchorage at one time.
2. Compatibility of Connectors: Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Contact FallTech if you have any questions about compatibility. Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage. Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self-closing, self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI and OSHA.
3. Compatibility of Components: Equipment is designed for use with approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may affect the safety and reliability of the complete system.
4. Making Connections: Only use self-locking snap hooks and carabiners with this equipment. Only use connectors that are suitable to each application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Visually ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked. Connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specified in each product’s user’s instructions. See Figure 4.
5. Personal Fall Arrest System: PFAS components used with this equipment must meet ANSI Z359 requirements and applicable OSHA requirements. A FBH must be worn when this equipment is used as a component of a PFAS. As required by OSHA, the personal fall arrest system must be able to arrest the user’s fall with a maximum arresting force of 1,800 lbs., and limit the free fall to 6 feet or less. If the maximum free fall distance must be exceeded, the employer must document, based on test data, that the maximum arresting force will not be exceeded, and the personal fall arrest system will function properly.
   When a free fall greater than 6 feet is possible, to a maximum of 12 feet, ANSI requires using a PFAS designed for a greater free fall.
   1. PFAS Anchorage Strength: An anchorage selected for PFAS must have a strength able to sustain a static load applied in the direction permitted by the PFAS of at least:
      a) Two times the maximum arrest force permitted when certification exists, or
      b) 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) in the absence of certification.
6. Restraint System: Restraint systems are typically utilized to prevent the user from reaching a fall hazard area, and must meet OSHA regulations and ANSI standards.
   1. Restraint Anchorage Strength: Anchorages selected for restraint, and travel restraint systems, shall have a strength able to sustain static loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least:
      a) 3,000 lbs. (13.3 kN) for non-certified anchorages, or
      b) two times the foreseeable force for certified anchorages.
7. Definitions: The following are definitions of terms as defined in ANSI Z359.0-2007.
   1. Authorized Person: A person assigned by the employer to perform duties at a location where the person will be exposed to a fall hazard (otherwise referred to as “user” for the purpose of these instructions).
   2. Certified Anchorage: An anchorage for fall arrest, positioning, restraint, or rescue systems that a qualified person certifies to be capable of supporting the potential fall forces that could be encountered during a fall or that meet the criteria for a certified anchorage prescribed in the standard.
   3. Competent Person: One who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.
   4. Qualified Person: A person with a recognized degree or professional certificate and with extensive knowledge, training, and experience in the fall protection and rescue field who is capable of designing, analyzing, evaluating and specifying fall protection and rescue systems to the extent required by the standard.
   5. Rescuer: Person or persons other than the rescue subject acting to perform an assisted rescue by operation of a rescue system.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Installation of anchorages must be under the supervision of a Competent Person trained in their design and use.
NOTE: Approved fall protection may be required during installation of all Anchorage units discussed in this manual.
DO NOT use any anchorage discussed in this manual until the system has been completely installed, inspected, and approved for use by a Competent Person.

1. Anchorage Location: Select a suitable anchorage point that will support the strength requirement and minimize free fall and swing hazards. See Section 3 of this manual for anchorage strength requirements. See paragraph 4.4 for additional anchorage location information.
   DO NOT work above the anchorage point.
2. Fall Clearance Distance: Take action to reduce the danger of falls. Ensure sufficient clearance in the fall area to arrest the fall before striking the ground or other objects. The actual clearance required is dependent upon the type of connecting subsystem used (energy absorbing lanyard, self-retracting device, etc.). Refer to connecting subsystem manufacturer’s instructions for fall clearance information.
3. Swing Fall: Swing falls occur when the anchorage point is not directly above the point where a fall occurs. The total fall distance may be greatly increased during a swing fall. The force of striking an object in a swing fall may cause serious injury. Minimize swing falls by installing anchors at least six feet from exposed roof edges and by working as directly below the anchorage point as possible. The user must be positioned within 30 degrees of the roof anchor. Move the anchor as required or install additional anchors no more than 8 feet apart. See Figure 5 and Figure 6.
4. General Installation Requirements: The Type A, B, and C Anchors are designed for roof installation on wood frame structures, on top of the sheathing. Install the anchors at least six feet from any exposed roof edge. If necessary, install additional anchors, a maximum of eight feet apart. On very small roof areas, locate the roof anchor as far from the roof edge as possible. Place at least one anchor per hip roof.
   See paragraph 3.5.1. See Figures 7 and 8.
   DO NOT
   • mount an anchor directly onto a truss with no sheathing substrate.
   • mount the anchor on unsupported roof areas such as eaves, gables and overhangs.
   • use an anchor mounted downslope on the opposite side of the ridge. Install a separate anchor.
   • use the anchorage until the system has been completely installed, inspected, and approved for use by a Competent Person.
     NOTE: The requirement for approved fall protection during installation of this anchor applies to all anchor models covered in this manual.
5. Install the Type A Temporary Reusable Anchor for Fall Protection and Restraint: This anchor is designed as a temporary anchor, for multiple installation arrangements. The Type A may be installed, utilized then removed and reinstalled and reused at another location, on the ridge or the field, through the sheathing into a truss, or through the sheathing only. See Figure 8.
   Location is determined by fastener type, nails or screws.

If the fastener choice is nails, place the anchor on the sheathing with one outside row of holes centered on the truss. Drive in five #16d x 3.5” nails on each plate, through the sheathing, into the truss. Drive in five more on the other outer row of each plate. This row will not engage the truss.

DO NOT install the Type A anchor onto the ridge or field into sheathing only with nails. All installations with nails must engage a truss.
If the choice is wood screws, place the anchor on top of the sheathing at the chosen location. Drive in six #14 flat head wood screws in each leg. Each screw must penetrate the truss a minimum of 1-1/2”

The Type A anchor may be installed with screws onto the field or ridge through the sheathing and into the truss if the sheathing is a minimum 3/4” CDX plywood. DO NOT install the Type A anchor into sheathing only on any other substrate or onto any CDX of less than 1-1/2”.

WARNING Do not re-use fasteners. If the anchor is removed and reinstalled provide new fasteners at each installation.

1. Install Type B Dual-Ring and Single-Ring Roof Anchor: Type B anchors are designed to be permanently installed and used as a fall protection anchorage on a wood frame structure. The mounting plate is shingled over and left in place, leaving the rings exposed for attachment of a PFAS. Type B anchors are not designed to be removed, reinstalled and reused.
   1. Install The Type B Dual D-Ring Roof Anchor: The Dual-Ring Type B is designed for permanent installation on the roof ridge, on top of the sheathing, over a truss. Drive in ten 16d x 3.5” stainless steel nails. See Figure 8.
   2. Install The Type B Single D-Ring Roof Anchor: The Type B Single-D Ring Roof Anchor is designed for permanent installation on a wood frame structure, just below the ridge, under the ridge cap, or on the roof field. Drive in fourteen #16d x 3.5” stainless steel nails. Use all holes. The base plate is capped and/or shingled over, leaving the D-ring exposed for attachment of a PFAS. The Type B Single D-Ring Roof Anchor is not designed to be removed, reinstalled and reused. See Figure 8.
2. Install the Type C Single-Use Roof Anchor: The Type C Single-Use Roof Anchor is designed for a single use. The Type C anchor is shipped as a pre-shaped unit. Grasp the base plates firmly and bend at the crease to bring the D-ring faces into alignment. See Figure 9. Position the base plates onto the sheathing, over the ridge, directly over a rafter or truss. Drive in eight #16d x 3.5” vinyl coated nails.
3. Connect To The Roof Anchor: Connect to the roof anchor using an approved PFAS or restraint system.
   WARNING Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the fall protection equipment of choice.
4. After a Fall: Any equipment subjected to fall arrest forces or exhibiting damage consistent with the effect of a fall event must be removed from service immediately.
5. At Job Completion: Anchor Type A is designed as a temporary reusable anchor, to be removed and reinstalled. If nailed, pry loose the anchor. Exercise caution, do not bend or deform the base plate. Do not pull on the D-ring to detach the anchor. If attached with screws, remove the screws. The user must make any necessary roof or structural repairs that result from installation, use and de-installing the anchor.
   Anchor Type B Dual and Single D-ring are designed as a permanently installed anchor, left in place, with the base plate shingled over leaving the D-ring(s) exposed for attachment of a PFAS or restraint system.
   Anchor Type C is designed as a single-use anchor. At job completion, hammer the upright ring faces flat to one side and shingle over it, or remove it. The user must make any necessary roof or structural repairs that result from installation, use and de-installing the anchor.
