VLTP34 Rope Termination Plate, 2-Pack
The Frontline VLTP34 is the hardware that turns a length of rope into a terminated vertical lifeline: a lightweight aluminum end termination plate with six 5/8 in diameter holes, sized for 7/16 in to 3/4 in (11-19 mm) rope.
Thread the rope through the hole pattern to form a secure, adjustable termination at the anchor end - no splice required. The aluminum body weighs just 0.53 lbs and measures 10 in long, built to ANSI Z359.18-2017 and A10.32 and aligning with OSHA 1926 Subpart M and 1910.
Who Needs This Product
This product is lifeline termination hardware - it forms and tensions the end of a vertical lifeline rope at the anchor. Riggers and lifeline installers use it to terminate field-cut rope without a sewn or spliced eye. It is a component of a vertical fall protection system, not a complete system on its own.

Terminate it per the manual. A rope termination plate only holds if the rope is threaded and dressed exactly as the Frontline manual specifies, on rope within the 7/16 in to 3/4 in range. A bad termination can slip under load - have a competent person verify it before the lifeline carries anyone.

Typical Applications
How to Use the VLTP34
Follow the manufacturer's manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check the plate for cracks, deformation, and hole wear before use.
- Select the rope. Confirm rope diameter is within 7/16 in to 3/4 in (11-19 mm).
- Thread the plate. Weave the rope through the six-hole pattern exactly as the manual specifies.
- Dress and set. Pull the termination tight and dress the tail per the manual.
- Verify. Have a competent person confirm the termination before loading the lifeline.
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.
- Ladder webbing and rungs: cuts, fraying, abrasion, or broken rungs.
- Carabiner: deformation, corrosion, gate and lock function.
- Rope grab / belay (RLA18B): positive grab and release function.
- Deployment bag: tears or failed roll-top closure that would slow deployment.
- Markings and instructions: present, legible, and packed with the kit.
Retire the lifeline immediately after any fall arrest event or if any inspection point fails. Destroy retired equipment so it cannot return to service.
