Super Anchor APEX RidgeTop Roof Anchor, Box of 10 with Stainless Steel Fasteners
The Super Anchor APEX RidgeTop is a low cost permanent roof anchor built for production builders and roofing crews. It installs directly over the roof decking and nails down flush, so the next course of roofing installs over the top and leaves only the tie-off tab exposed. Crews roof under and over the anchor without cutting or notching shingles.
Each box contains 10 anchors with stainless steel fasteners. The APEX is powder coated brown to blend with most roofing colors and can be painted to match. It is the RidgeTop style, with two connector holes at the ridge so a worker can tie off toward either roof slope. Space the anchors about 10 feet on center along the ridge for full coverage.
Who Needs This Product
The APEX RidgeTop is a permanent residential roof anchor for production builders, roofers, and trades that need a compliant tie-off point installed during the roofing stage. Because it courses under the roofing material, it suits shingle roofs where a low profile finished look matters. Pair it with a compatible full-body harness, energy-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline, and a competent-person anchor layout.
Features
Roof under and over design
The roofer courses roofing under the tab and over the anchor, so there is no cutting or notching of the shingle.
Low profile finished look
Only the tie-off tab stays exposed, which keeps the ridge line clean on the finished roof.
Powder coated brown
The brown finish blends with most roofing colors and can be painted to match the roof.
Stainless steel fasteners
Each box of 10 ships with corrosion resistant stainless steel fasteners.
Dual connector holes
The RidgeTop design has two connector holes at the ridge for tie-off toward either roof slope.
Simple layout
Space anchors about 10 feet on center along the ridge, or send a roof plan for a specified layout.
This anchor is a fall arrest anchorage, not a complete system. You still need a full-body harness, a connecting device such as an energy-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline, and adequate fall clearance below the work surface. Confirm anchor placement with a competent person and run the Fall Protection Calculator below before you tie off.
Compliance Standards
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502
Federal construction fall protection anchorage requirements.
Competent-person layout

Typical Applications
How to Install the APEX RidgeTop
Follow the Super Anchor Safety instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Plan the layout. Space anchors about 10 feet on center along the ridge, starting 6 to 10 feet in from each gable end, or follow a specified roof plan.
- Position the anchor. Set the anchor over the decking at the ridge or hip location.
- Fasten. Nail or screw the anchor down securely with the supplied stainless steel fasteners.
- Course over. Install the next course of roofing over the anchor, leaving the tie-off tab exposed.
- Verify. Confirm the tab is accessible, then connect your harness and lanyard and confirm fall clearance.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least annually. Remove the product from service for any condition below.
- Anchor body: cracks, deformation, corrosion, or elongated holes.
