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 facility. 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 was 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 tipset screws.24 Gauge Panels: Use nylon tip set screws only.
▶ SSRA1 Compatibility Overview
This Panel Compatibility Chart is provided only as a reference for what the SSRA1 will physically mount to. It does not determine the structural integrity of any roof system or seam. It is the Qualified person's responsibility to verify structural suitability in the event of a fall. The SSRA1 fits over 95% of standing seam panels. It is approved only for 22- and 24-gauge steel and is not compatible with aluminum, zinc, copper, or other soft metals. Do not install on curved, tapered, or batten-seam profiles.
▶ Nailstrip Panel Warning
Nailstrip-style panels are approximately 50% compatible. Some seams are too wide at the base, which can allow anchor movement during installation. Treat compatibility lists as guidelines, not guarantees.
▶ Installer Responsibility
It is solely the installer's or specifier's responsibility to confirm SSRA1 suitability for the specific panel and application The employer and the designated Competent Person are solely responsible for evaluating, determining, and documenting the structural suitability of the supporting structure, including its ability to withstand all loads that may occur during a fall or related event. The manufacturer does not review, verify, or warrant the structural capacity of any building, roof system, or attachment surface and assumes no responsibility for structural assessment, adequacy, or performance under fall-arrest or fall-restraint conditions.
▶ Test Fit Recommendation
Perform a test fit with an RCT seam clamp or SSRA1 anchor well before installation to confirm proper engagement with your exact panel profile.
▶ Set-Screw Options
- Cupped-tip: 22-ga steel—torque to 90 in-lbs
- Nylon-tip: 22/24-ga steel—torque to 180–200 in-lbs
▶ Surface Impact
Minor seam dimpling and paint abrasion may occur. Scratches can be touched up 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 lb. 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.
- A 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.
