FallTech Rotating Swivel D-Ring Concrete Anchor
The FallTech Rotating Swivel D-Ring Concrete Anchor mounts to concrete (and, with the bushing version, to steel) and provides a forged alloy steel D-ring that swivels a full 360 degrees. The swivel lets the connection follow the worker so the lifeline does not twist or bind.
It is built from a zinc-coated steel bracket with an integrated forged alloy steel D-ring on a zinc-coated flanged bushing. Choose the fastener that matches your substrate: bushing only (7451AC, also fits steel), concrete screw (7451A), or expansion bolt (7451C). Certified to ANSI Z359.18-2017, for one worker up to 310 lb (ANSI) or 425 lb (OSHA).
Who Needs This Product
This product is a rotating swivel D-ring concrete anchor, the anchorage component of a personal fall arrest system. Crews bolt it to a concrete deck or wall (or steel, with the bushing version) to give a swiveling tie-off point that tracks the worker. Choose the fastener for your substrate. You still need a certified full-body harness and a compatible connecting device.
Features
360-degree swivel
The forged D-ring rotates fully so the lifeline follows the worker without twisting.
Choose your fastener
Bushing only (also for steel), concrete screw, or expansion bolt to match the substrate.
Zinc-coated steel
Corrosion-resistant bracket and hardware for durable service.
Forged alloy D-ring
Strong connection point for an SRL or lanyard.
Low-profile mount
Bolts flat to a deck or wall for a compact anchor point.
ANSI Z359.18-2017
Certified anchorage connector.
Match the fastener and torque to the substrate. Use the correct fastener version for concrete or steel, install into a sound substrate per the manual, and set the fastener to the specified torque. Confirm fall clearance and swing-fall with the Fall Protection Calculator below.
Compliance Standards
ANSI Z359.18-2017
American National Standard for anchorage connectors.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502
Federal construction fall protection anchorage requirements.

Swivel D-ring
360-degree rotation reduces lifeline twist and side loading.
Typical Applications
How to Install
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check the bracket, swivel, D-ring, and fastener before each use.
- Pick the fastener. Select the bushing, concrete screw, or expansion bolt version for your substrate.
- Drill and clean. Drill the correct hole in sound concrete (or prepare the steel) per the manual and clear debris.
- Fasten to torque. Install the anchor and set the fastener to the specified torque so the bracket is tight and the D-ring swivels freely.
- Connect and check. Attach your SRL or lanyard, then confirm fall clearance below.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least annually. Remove the anchor from service for any of the conditions below.
- Bracket and welds: cracks, bending, or corrosion.
- Swivel and bushing: a D-ring that binds or will not rotate.
- D-ring: deformation, sharp edges, or corrosion.
- Fastener and substrate: a fastener that will not hold torque, or cracked concrete.
Remove the anchor from service immediately after any fall-arrest event, and destroy retired equipment so it cannot return to service.
