Super Anchor ARS Tile and Slate Permanent Roof Anchor Kit with Dual Flashing
The Super Anchor ARS Tile and Slate anchor is a permanent roof anchor built for high profile concrete and clay tile roofs. It shares the ARS design criteria but adds a taller 8 inch stem so the connector hole clears the tile profile. Each kit ships with everything needed for a complete waterproof installation, including a 20 by 20 inch aluminum and EPDM flashing base that conforms to S-tiles and high profile tiles.
Choose your stem cover color at checkout to match the roof: black, light gray, or terra cotta. The anchor is fabricated from 14 gauge 430 stainless steel and meets OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.18-17 Type D. The tile roof instruction manual includes a 10 page flashing specification guide for high and low profile tile penetrations.
Who Needs This Product
The ARS Tile and Slate anchor is a permanent fall arrest anchor for roofers, solar installers, and service trades working on concrete or clay tile roofs. The taller stem and dedicated tile flashing base make it the right ARS model where standard 2x8 flashing cannot seal a high profile tile. Complete the system with a full-body harness, a connecting device, and a competent-person anchor layout.
Features
Taller 8 inch tile stem
The extended stem keeps the connector hole accessible above high profile concrete and clay tiles.
Dual flashing system
A 20 by 20 inch aluminum and EPDM base conforms to S-tiles for a 100 percent waterproof seal.
Color matched stem covers
Choose black, light gray, or terra cotta to complement popular roof tile colors.
14 gauge 430 stainless
Corrosion resistant stainless steel construction rated to a 5,000 lb minimum breaking strength.
Complete kit
Each kit ships with the anchor, flashing, stem cover, and attachment hardware for a full install.
10 page flashing guide
The instruction manual details practical high and low profile tile penetration methods.
This anchor is a fall arrest anchorage, not a complete system. Install onto framing capable of supporting 5,000 lb or two times the intended load, use a full-body harness with a connecting device, and confirm fall clearance. Teko nails alone do not arrest a fall; the attachment bolt is required. Run the Fall Protection Calculator below before you tie off.
Compliance Standards
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502
