Super Anchor ARS Vertical Wall Permanent Overhead Anchor for Wall Trades
The Super Anchor ARS Vertical Wall anchor is a permanent overhead anchorage for exterior wall trades that is nearly invisible from the ground. Fabricated from 11 gauge 430 stainless steel, it installs at the wall plate and top chord junction with a single bolt and four 16d vinyl sinkers that are supplied with each anchor. It gives siders, window installers, and painters a fall arrest point without needing access to the roof.
Two models cover common roof slopes. The 1004 fits roof pitch up to 7/12, and the 1004-A fits pitch from 7/12 up to 12/12. Both meet ANSI Z359.18-17 Type D with a 5,000 pound minimum breaking strength, are rated for one worker, and can be painted for minimum visual effect.
This product is sold as a 3-pack.
