SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor—The Industry's Most Versatile Non-Penetrating Tie-Off Solution

The SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor weighs just 4.5 pounds and installs in approximately two minutes using a micro torque wrench. This device provides 5,000-lb certified fall protection without requiring any panel penetrations. Contractors, solar installers, maintenance crews, building owners, and even DIY homeowners trust the SSRA1 to deliver safe, code-compliant tie-off points while preserving the warranties and watertight integrity of the standing seam roof systems.

SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor Third-Party Testing

Independent ISO 17025/ANSI Z359.18 testing confirmed the SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor's unmatched strength and reliability.

While OSHA and ANSI require anchors to withstand 5,000 lbs., the SSRA1 endured an astonishing 14,500 lbs. before the Grade 8 top bolts sheared—leaving the solid aluminum body completely unharmed. This performance not only exceeds industry standards but also surpasses those of competitors, proving that the SSRA1 is in a league of its own.

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.

SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor Patented Non-Penetrating Design

The SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor features a patented design with a solid 6061-T6 aluminum body secured by 12 stainless steel set screws.

This system provides a rock-solid attachment without damaging the seam. Unlike compression-style anchors that rely on plates to squeeze the seam with high torque, the SSRA1's set screws prevent sliding during impact and deliver consistent holding power at much lower torque settings.

Each SSRA1 comes standard with a 5,000-lb certified D-ring for single-worker tie-off. The universal-fit SSRA1 anchor body adapts to more than 500 standing seam panel profiles—including T-seams, bulb seams, SnapLok, MR-24, single lok, and double lok—without requiring reassembly.

SSRA Compatible Seam Styles for Fitment

The SSRA1 has a unique removeable D-ring making it compatible with adapter plate components. The SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jack Adapters mount on top of the SSRA1 to support 10-foot walkboards. Contractors can use the SSRA3 Anchor Plates connected to SSRA1 anchors to create temporary 100-foot horizontal lifeline systems. Together, these options make the SSRA1 the only certified component system for mounting multiple tools and safety solutions on standing seam roofs.

SSRA1 Frequently Asked Questions

No, the SSRA1 Seam Anchors lock onto the seams without drilling, cutting, or penetrating the metal panels. Workers torque the stainless steel set screws to inch-pounds, not foot-pounds. When installed correctly, the SSRA1 provides a reliable OSHA- and ANSI-compliant tie-off point without crushing the seams like compression-style clamps can do.

The SSRA1 features a patented, one-piece, universal-fit design compatible with over 500 standing seam profiles. Some of these panel styles include Snap-Lok, MR-24-style trapezoidal, T-seams, bulb seams, mechanical single, double, and triple locks, as well as most nail strips.

SSRA1 Seam Anchor compatible standing seam profiles

Owning an SSRA1 Seam Anchor gives you the confidence that you can work safely on about 95% of today's 22 and 24-gauge standing seam roofs. We maintain an SSRA1 Seam Anchor Compatibility Chart for easy reference. You can also try searching our website for the manufacturer's name of your roof to see if we have written any blogs discussing their panels and our product recommendations.

OSHA and ANSI standards require anchors to withstand loads ranging from 3,600 to 5,000 pounds. The SSRA1 met those requirements in testing on both 22-gauge and 24-gauge steel panels at ISO 17025-accredited independent materials testing laboratories. Professional product testing engineers evaluated the SSRA1 in both parallel and perpendicular loading to the seams, unlike many other seam anchors.

In addition, ultimate strength testing to catastrophic failure reached 14,500 lbs—nearly three times the OSHA requirement. The test ended only after a Grade 8 D-ring top bolt sheared, with the SSRA1 anchor body remaining completely intact.

The SSRA1 Seam Anchors install in about two minutes using a micro torque wrench and a 3/16" hex bit socket. It can be helpful to have a flex bit attached to your screw gun for shorter seam installations. Removal of the SSRA1 anchors is even easier and only takes about one minute.

Yes! The SSRA1 is the flagship product of the industry's only certified component system made exclusively for the standing seam roof industry. The removable D-ring allows you to use it as a traditional single-worker tie-off and in various other configurations. It supports 10-foot walkboards by simply mounting a pair of SSRA Roof Jack Adapters on top of two SSRA1 Seam Anchors.

You can also mount a 100-foot temporary horizontal lifeline onto standing seam roofs by securing an SSRA3 Anchor Plate to two SSRA1 Seam Anchors at each end of the lifeline. We offer the SSRA HLL kit, which includes everything needed to deploy a 100-foot horizontal lifeline onto a standing seam roof without requiring any penetrations.

Absolutely, the SSRA1 performs perfectly for both temporary and permanent installations. If the safety stickers ever become illegible, contact us for a new set. The SSRA1 Seam Anchors use corrosion-resistant aluminum and stainless steel set screws and are proudly manufactured in the USA. The SSRA1 meets ANSI/ASTM B-117 Accelerated Salt Spray standards and performs reliably in all weather conditions. 

The SSRA1 features two types of stainless steel set screws to accommodate various panel gauges and maintain roof integrity.

Cupped tip screws are used only with 22-gauge steel panels, and workers must torque the set screws to 90 in/lbs.

Nylon-tipped screws are intended for use with 22-gauge or 24-gauge steel panels and require 180–200 in-lbs of torque.

Softer materials, such as aluminum, copper, or zinc, should not be used with seam-mounted anchors. The Ridge Pro Steep Assist Anchor is a good alternative solution, as it doesn’t rely on seam attachment. Likewise, curved panels and panels with batten strip seam covers should avoid using seam-mounted anchors and instead require alternative fall protection solutions.

About Standing Seam Roof Anchor

In 2015, the Standing Seam Roof Anchor System began providing specialized fall protection solutions for standing seam roofs. It all started with the SSRA1 seam anchor, designed to lock onto 95% of all standing seam profiles without penetrating the panels or violating warranties. This patented innovation was the first one-piece design in the industry that used six pairs of opposing set screws for seam attachment.

A couple of months later, the SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jack adapter was released, making walkboards possible on standing seam roofs. The adjustable height side legs stabilize the roof seams and create a stable walkboard surface. After that, we introduced the SSRA3 Anchor Plate, which allows for the deployment of temporary horizontal lifelines on standing seam roofs without penetrations. This comprehensive product line offers unmatched safety and reliability across multiple industries in the U.S. and Canada. All Standing Seam Roof Anchor products are proudly designed and fabricated in the U.S.A.
