SSRA1 Seam Anchors For Standing Seam Metal Roofs
The Standing Seam Roof Anchor SSRA1 is a next-generation fall protection product that allows homeowners, building owners, and contractors to work safely on standing seam roofs without penetrating the panels. It revolutionizes fall protection anchorage attachment on standing seam roofs! The SSRA1 Nylon version of this product is intended for use on 24-gauge or 22-gauge steel roofs.
The SSRA1 was recently subjected to ultimate failure testing at an independent ISO 17025/ANSI Z359.18 certified materials testing facilities recently subjected the SSRA1 to ultimate failure testing. The results far exceeded our expectations AND our competitor's strengths. The maximum testing protocol for OSHA and ANSI is 5,000 lbs.; however, the SSRA1 tested to 14,500 lbs. loading. This incredible strength is due to the patented structural design of the anchor body. The SSRA1 is in a class of its own!
This life-saving device's patented, non-penetrating design is unlike anything currently available. It consists of a solid aluminum body with 12 stainless steel set screws. The standard assembly also includes a 5,000 lb.-certified D-ring for single-man attachment. It arrives ready to use as a single-seam, single-user anchor. The patented shape of the SSRA1 body allows this one product to fit about 95% of today's standing seam profiles.
SSRA1 Set Screw Advantage
Direct set screw attachment is superior to compression-type anchors that use bolts to squeeze the seam between the metal plates. The set screws do not allow the device to slide during impacts, like weaker compression designs are prone to doing. Users must use an inline shock absorber or shock pack when using the SSRA1.
22 Gauge Panels: Use either the included cupped tip or optional nylon tip set screws.
24 Gauge Panels: Use nylon tip set screws only.
SSRA1 Compatibility Overview
The Panel Compatibility Chart is provided only as a reference for what the SSRA1 will physically mount to. This list makes no determination as to the structural integrity of any roof system or seam. It is the Competent Person's ultimate responsibility to determine that a roof system and seam are structurally capable of withstanding an impact in the event of a fall. The SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor fits over 95% of today's standing seam panels. It is tested and approved for use only on 24-gauge and 22-gauge steel. It is not compatible with aluminum, zinc, copper, or other soft metals. Do not install on curved, tapered, or batten-cap profiles.
Nailstrip Panel Warning
Nailstrip-style panels are a hit-or-miss proposition (roughly 50% compatibility) because some seams are too wide at the base, which can cause the anchor to slide upward during installation. A detailed compatibility list is available, but panel dimensions vary between roll formers and manufacturers, so treat it as a guideline, not a guarantee.
Installer Responsibility
It's solely up to the installer or specifier to confirm that the SSRA1 is suitable for the specific panel and application.
Test Fit Recommendation
To avoid delays or surprises, perform a test fit with an RCT seam clamp or SSRA1 anchor well before the scheduled install. Test-fitting the SSRA products helps confirm proper fitment with your exact panel profile. It's solely up to the installer or specifier to verify that the SSRA1 is suitable for the specific panel and application.
Set-Screw Options
- Cupped-tip: 22 gauge steel panels, torque to 90 in-lbs
- Nylon-tip: 22/24 gauge steel panels, torque to 180–200 in-lbs
Surface Impact
As with all seam anchors, both screw types will create a small dimple in the seam to ensure a secure, non-slip connection. Minor paint abrasion may occur on coated panels. The installer can easily touch up scratches with a matching paint pen.
SSRA Adapter Plates
The SSRA1 Anchor is the base product of the system, allowing for adapter plates to be added for expanded versatility. The removable D-ring allows for the attachment of various adapter plates that can add roof jacks and temporary horizontal lifelines to standing seam roofs.
SSRA1 Advantages For Homeowners, Building Owners, and Contractors:
- Only 4.5 lbs! The SSRA1 is the world's lightest OSHA 5,000 lbs. certified anchor for temporary or permanent attachment. It installs in minutes with basic hand tools.
- The patented, universal fit design works on over 500 Standing Seam Panel Profiles with no reassembly required! It fits T-seams, bulb seams, SnapLok, single lok, double lok, MR-24, etc. No other anchor fits as many profiles. A list of compatible profiles can be found on the Panel Compatibility Tab.
- ANSI ASTM B-117 Salt Spray tested, non-corrosive aluminum and stainless steel components.
- Made in the USA with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
- Clean, low-profile attachment to the seam minimizes tripping hazards and is less obtrusive on permanent attachments.
- OSHA tested to 5,000 lbs. in ALL directions of pull. Workers can access both sides of the roof without repositioning the anchor. The SSRA1 test report can be reviewed on the Test Report Page.
- This is the only certified component system for mounting just about anything to a standing seam roof. The interchangeable mount allows for the attachment of devices from various fall protection manufacturers. It can be used for attaching roof jacks, walk boards, SRLs, horizontal lifelines, ladder anchoring, etc.
Proper installation requires a torque wrench that reads down to in/lbs and a 3/16" hex bit socket. This kit includes a torque wrench with a 3/16" socket bit.
