SSRA1 Deluxe Kit including cupped and nylon-tipped screws, plus a torque wrench and socket bit for out-of-the-box worker tie-off.
The Ultimate Professional Solution for 22-gauge and 24-gauge steel roofs.
The SSRA1 Deluxe Kit is our most popular package for professional contractors and solar installers. It revolutionizes fall-protection anchorage attachment on standing-seam roofs! By bundling the SSRA1 anchor with the required micro-torque wrench and a backup set of nylon-tipped screws, you ensure a safe, mark-free, and code-compliant installation while saving significantly compared to the cost of individual components.
The Standing Seam Roof Anchor SSRA1 is a next-generation fall-protection product that enables homeowners, building owners, and contractors to work safely on standing-seam metal roofs without panel penetrations. It enables secure work on standing-seam roofs without damaging the panels or voiding watertight warranties.
▶ SSRA1 Compatibility Overview
This Panel Compatibility Chart is provided only as a reference. It is the Competent Person's responsibility to verify structural suitability. The SSRA1 fits over 95% of panels and is approved only for 22- and 24-gauge steel. Not compatible with aluminum, zinc, copper, or other soft metals.
▶ Nailstrip Panel Warning
Nailstrip-style panels are approximately 50% compatible. Treat compatibility lists as guidelines, not guarantees.
▶ Installer Responsibility
The employer and the designated Competent Person are solely responsible for evaluating structural suitability. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for structural assessment or performance under load.
▶ Test Fit Recommendation
Perform a test fit with an RCT seam clamp well before installation.
▶ Set-Screw Options
- Cupped-tip: 22-gauge 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.

Engineering Marvel: SSRA1 Ultimate Failure Testing
Engineering marvels don't just happen; they're created with purpose and precision. The SSRA1 was recently subjected to extreme ultimate failure testing at an independent ISO 17025/ANSI Z359.18-certified facility. While OSHA and ANSI require anchors to withstand 5,000 lbs., the SSRA1 managed an astonishing load of 14,500 lbs.—a figure that speaks volumes about its strength. The test concluded only when the Grade 8 top bolts sheared, leaving the one-piece aluminum anchor body completely intact and unbent. This incredible strength is due to the patented structural design, putting the SSRA1 in a class of its own!
Patented Design For Non-Penetrating Fall Protection
The SSRA1's patented, non-penetrating design is unlike anything currently available. It consists of a solid 6061-T6 aluminum body with 12 stainless steel set screws. The set screws prevent the device from sliding during impacts, unlike weaker compression-style anchors that rely on plates to squeeze the seam. This direct-attachment method provides a rock-solid tie-off point without damaging the seam. Users must use an inline shock absorber or a shock pack with the SSRA1.
The SSRA1 is the industry's only complete safety system for standing seam roofs. The removable D-ring allows attachment of various adapter plates. Contractors can attach SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jacks for 10-foot walkboards or SSRA3 Anchor Plates for temporary horizontal lifeline systems.

SSRA1 Deluxe Kit Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a torque wrench required for the SSRA1?
Precision torque is essential to ensure a 5,000 lb. certified hold without crushing the roof seam. Impact drivers are strictly prohibited. The included micro torque wrench ensures a safe, compliant install every time.
What is the difference between the set screws in this kit?
Cupped-tip screws are recommended for 22-gauge steel for a mechanical bite. Nylon-tipped screws are required for 24-gauge steel panels and provide a non-marring hold that prevents the thinner metal from tearing while providing a superior non-slip grip.
Is the SSRA1 anchor OSHA- and ANSI-compliant?
Yes. The SSRA1 meets and exceeds OSHA 1926 Subpart M and ANSI Z359.18 standards. It is the industry's strongest non-penetrating anchor, having been tested to an ultimate failure load of 14,500 lbs.
Does this anchor fit commercial profiles like MR-24?
Yes. The patented universal-fit body fits over 500 profiles, including SnapLok, T-seams, bulb seams, and specialized industrial trapezoidal panels like the Butler MR-24 without modifications.
Can I use this kit on copper or aluminum roofs?
No. The SSRA1 is engineered specifically for 22 and 24-gauge steel only. Soft metals like copper and aluminum are too malleable for the set-screw pressure. For those materials, we recommend the Ridge Pro Steep Assist.
Does the unboxing video above show all the Deluxe Kit components?
Yes. As shown in the unboxing video above, the Deluxe Kit arrives as a complete turnkey solution with the anchor, two types of set screws, the calibrated wrench, and the custom hex bit.
How do I avoid common installation problems?
Follow these protocols to ensure a safe installation:
- Precision Torque: Always use the included torque wrench; avoid impact drivers.
- Gauge Verification: Confirm you are on 22 or 24-gauge steel.
- Check Consumables: Replace nylon-tipped screws every 3-5 uses to maintain the necessary grip.
