RPA091TB Tie Back Single Leg Web 9 ft SRL with Tie Back Hook End

The Frontline RPA091TB is a compact, lightweight single leg aramid-web self-retracting lifeline: a 9 ft UHMWPE and polyester webbing lifeline in a small thermoplastic housing that hangs close to the body and locks in inches if a fall starts. The tie-back hook lets each leg wrap rated structure and clip back onto itself - the SRL is its own anchor connector.

Stainless steel and non-corrosive components run throughout, the connector strength is 5,000 lbs, and the device carries a 310 lb max capacity and a 42 in maximum arrest distance. Built to ANSI Z359.14, aligning with OSHA 1926 Subpart M and 1910.

Who Needs This Product

This product is a self-retracting lifeline (SRL) - a fall arrest connecting device that pays out and retracts automatically, locking in inches if a fall starts. Steel erectors, deck crews, and maintenance workers clip in for hands-free protection with minimal fall distance. You still need a full body harness and a rated anchor to complete the system.

Features

Compact and light

The aramid web and small thermoplastic housing keep weight and bulk off the harness.

Aramid webbing lifeline

High-strength UHMWPE and polyester web retracts and locks in a fall.

Stainless internals

Non-corrosive components for long service life.

Tie-back rated

Wrap rated structure and clip the hook back on its own leg - no separate anchor strap.

Quick lockup

Short arrest distance keeps clearance demand low.

42 in arrest

Fast lockup per the spec sheet.

Mind the anchor height and the edge. Standard SRLs are rated for overhead anchorage; foot-level or leading-edge use requires an LE-rated device. Confirm anchor placement, swing-fall, and clearance below the work surface before each use - run the Fall Protection Calculator below, and rig per the Frontline manual.

How to Use the RPA091TB

Follow the manufacturer's manual. The sequence below is an overview only.

  1. Inspect. Check the aramid webbing, braking, housing, and hooks before each use.
  2. Anchor. Connect to a rated anchor per the manual.
  3. Tie back or anchor. Wrap rated structure and clip the hook back on its leg, or connect to a rated anchor.
  4. Check the gates. Confirm every hook is closed and locked.
  5. Verify clearance. Confirm fall clearance and swing-fall below - run the calculator below.

Inspection and Retirement

Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least every 6 months. Pull the equipment from service for any of the conditions below.

  • Lifeline webbing/cable: cuts, fraying, abrasion, burns, or chemical damage.
  • Braking: lifeline must lock sharply on a quick pull test.
  • Housing: cracks, loose fasteners, or damaged lifeline exit.
  • Energy absorber: deployment or torn cover.
  • Hooks and swivels: deformation, corrosion, gates that fail to lock.

Retire the equipment immediately after any fall arrest event or if any inspection point fails. Destroy retired equipment so it cannot return to service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Frontline RPA091TB tie-back aramid SRL?
The RPA091TB is a single-leg, 9 ft self-retracting lifeline (SRL) built on aramid-reinforced webbing with a UHMWPE and polyester core, in a compact thermoplastic housing that locks in place if a fall starts. Its leg ends in a tie-back hook, and the aramid web resists abrasion and heat better than standard polyester. It carries a 5,000 lb connector strength, a 310 lb capacity, and ANSI Z359.14-2021 certification.
How does the tie-back hook work - do I need a separate anchor?
The tie-back hook wraps a rated structural member - a beam, column, or rebar - and clips back onto its own leg, so the SRL anchors directly to structure without a separate anchorage connector. Only use a tie-back-rated hook this way, and choke onto a member strong enough for the load. Confirm the anchor point per the Frontline manual before trusting the connection.
Single-leg RPA091TB or twin-leg RPA092TB - which do I need?
Choose the single-leg RPA091TB when you work from one fixed tie-off position. Choose the twin-leg RPA092TB for 100% tie-off while moving, since you clip the second leg before releasing the first and are never unhooked at height. Both share the same aramid web, ratings, and tie-back design.
What is aramid webbing and why does it matter?
Aramid is the heat- and abrasion-resistant fiber family used in high-performance protective gear; here it reinforces a UHMWPE and polyester web core. The lifeline resists abrasion, heat, and edge wear better than standard polyester while staying light and flexible - an advantage for welders, steel erectors, and crews working around sparks or rough structural steel.
What weight capacity and connector strength does it have?
It is rated for one worker with a combined weight - body, clothing, tools, and equipment - of up to 310 lb, in line with ANSI Z359.14, and its connectors carry a 5,000 lb minimum strength. It is not rated for two workers or for lifting or lowering materials.
Is the RPA091TB rated for leading-edge or foot-level use?
No - it is a standard overhead-anchorage SRL meant to be tied off at or above the dorsal D-ring. For foot-level tie-off or work over a sharp or leading edge, use a leading-edge (LE / Class 2) rated device such as a Frontline RPG-series LE cable SRL. Running a non-LE lifeline over an unprotected edge can cut it in a fall.
Is the RPA091TB OSHA compliant and third-party tested?
Yes - it is built and certified to ANSI Z359.14-2021 and supports compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M for construction and 29 CFR 1910 for general industry. Independent third-party test results are available in the test report linked in the Submittals section.
