Super Anchor E-Vac Evacuation Temporary Roof Anchor for Production Builders
The Super Anchor E-Vac, short for Evacuation, is a temporary roof anchor for production home builders. It mounts to the truss at framing and sticks up through the sheathing to give a tie-off point during construction. When the home is finished, the roofer removes the bolt, hammers the anchor down into the attic, and patches the hole, so no permanent anchor is left for the homeowner.
Choose the model that matches your truss: the 1062 for 2x4, the 1063 for 2x6, and the 1064 for 2x8. It meets ANSI Z359.1 and OSHA 1926.502 with a 5,000 pound minimum tensile strength.
Who Needs This Product
The E-Vac is a temporary roof anchor for production builders who need fall protection during construction but do not want to leave a permanent anchor behind. It suits tract and multifamily roofing where the anchor is removed at completion. Choose the model for your truss size and complete the system with a full-body harness, an energy absorber specified for the user weight, and a connecting device.
Features
Evacuated at completion
Remove the bolt and hammer the anchor into the attic when the home is finished, then patch the hole.
Will not fall into the attic
A zip tie keeps the anchor from falling into attic insulation or sheetrock.
Truss size specific
The 1062 fits 2x4, the 1063 fits 2x6, and the 1064 fits 2x8.
Removes homeowner liability
No permanent anchor is left for the homeowner to tie off to.
Quick and easy install
A fast temporary anchor that installs at framing and evacuates with a hammer.
Optional inverted mount
Can also mount inverted over equipment such as HVAC units for permanent attic access.
This is a temporary anchor, not a complete system. An energy absorber specified for the user weight is required. Install onto a truss capable of the load, use a full-body harness with a connecting device, and confirm fall clearance. Run the Fall Protection Calculator below before you tie off.
