FallTech Single-D Permanent Roof Anchor for Wood
The FallTech Single-D Permanent Roof Anchor installs permanently on a wood roof to provide an always-ready tie-off point with a single D-ring. It is designed to stay with the building for ongoing roof access and maintenance. Choose the 8 in or 17 in length for your framing.
It meets OSHA fall protection requirements, rated to a 5,000 lb anchorage requirement, for one worker up to 310 lb, and fastens with corrosion-resistant stainless nails.

Who Needs This Product
This product is a permanent single-D roof anchor, the anchorage component of a personal fall arrest system for wood roofs. Builders install it to give owners and service crews a permanent tie-off point, then a worker connects an SRL or lanyard for ongoing roof access. You still need a certified full-body harness and a compatible connecting device.
