FallTech 7425 2' Concrete Pour-In-Place Anchor – 6-Pack for Rebar Attachment
The FallTech 7425 2' Concrete Anchor is a heavy-duty, pour-in-place safety solution designed for high-strength attachment to embedded rebar before a concrete pour. Engineered specifically for the aggressive environments of concrete formwork and reinforced deck construction, these disposable straps provide a 2026-compliant tie-off point that is both secure and cost-effective. Sold in a convenient 6-pack, the 7425 is the industry standard for maintaining safety during the critical phases of high-rise and commercial concrete construction.
Abrasion-Resistant jacketed Webbing for Harsh Environments
Built to survive the friction of rebar cages, the FallTech 7425 features a unique dual-layer jacketed polyester web construction. This outer jacket acts as a sacrificial shield, protecting the inner load-bearing webbing from the sharp edges of rebar and the abrasive nature of wet concrete. The anchor is capped with a plated alloy-steel D-ring, providing a corrosion-resistant and dependable connection point for energy-absorbing lanyards and personal fall-arrest systems.
Secure Choker-Style Installation for Permanent Anchorage
The FallTech 7425 is designed for simple, error-free installation via a choker-style loop around structural rebar. Once the concrete is poured and has reached its full structural set, the strap forms a permanent 5,000-lb-rated anchorage point. Because the connection is established deep within the reinforced concrete, it provides unmatched stability for workers on leading edges. When the project phase is complete, the strap is simply cut off at the concrete surface and disposed of, leaving a clean finish.
Performance Specifications and OSHA Compliance
Every anchor in the FallTech 7425 6-pack meets or exceeds OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.140 regulations. It is engineered to support an ANSI user capacity of 130 to 310 lbs and an expanded OSHA capacity of up to 425 lbs (including tools and equipment). With a 5,000-lb minimum static strength rating, these pour-in-place anchors deliver the highest level of security for 2026 concrete construction sites, ensuring your team is protected by hardware that meets all federal safety thresholds.

FallTech 7425 Concrete Anchor FAQ
1. Can the 7425 anchor be reused after the concrete work is done?
No. The FallTech 7425 is a disposable, single-use anchor. Once the concrete has set and the anchor is used for fall protection during the deck work, it must be cut off and discarded. It is never to be re-embedded or used on a second project. The Falltech 7451C Rotating Concrete Anchor can be installed in existing concrete for secure worker anchorage.
2. How much rebar embedment is required for safety?
The strap must be wrapped around structural rebar that is part of the reinforced structure. For specific details on minimum concrete depth and rebar sizing to achieve the 5,000 lb rating, please see the FallTech 7425 Instruction Manual linked above.
3. Will the concrete chemicals damage the polyester webbing?
The FallTech 7425 is designed with an abrasion-resistant outer jacket specifically to shield the load-bearing core from the alkaline and abrasive environment of wet concrete, ensuring it maintains its strength during the critical cure time.
4. Can I use this for a horizontal lifeline system?
Using the 7425 as an end-point for a horizontal lifeline requires approval from a Qualified Person. The forces on a horizontal lifeline often exceed 5,000 lbs, so structural calculations for the rebar and concrete strength are mandatory.
5. Is this anchor suitable for use in post-tensioned concrete?
Yes, provided it is attached to structural rebar and not the PT cables. Care must be taken during installation to ensure the anchor strap does not interfere with the layout of the post-tensioning tendons.
6. What is the static strength of the 7425 strap?
The FallTech 7425 is rated for a minimum static strength of 5,000 lbs, meeting the 2:1 safety factor required for all OSHA-compliant fall arrest anchorage points.
7. How do I avoid common mistakes with the FallTech 7425?
- 1. Improper Embedment: Ensure the D-ring is positioned high enough above the pour so that it doesn't get buried in the concrete.
- 2. Choking on Non-Structural Wire: Only attach to heavy structural rebar; never anchor to tie-wire or thin mesh that cannot support 5,000 lbs.
- 3. Premature Loading: Never tie off to the anchor until the concrete has reached the minimum compressive strength specified by the project engineer.
