The industry standard in permanent anchorage devices, the ARS Series anchor has been providing fall protection for the residential and commercial building industry for over 25 years. They are typically installed during the framing stage and then they are flashed into the roofing material as a permanent fixture for the structure. They provide a fall protection tie off point for all tradesmen and maintenance workers.
This anchor is available in 2 models – the ARS 2×4 and ARS 2×8. The ARS 2×4 is designed for 2×4 trusses and installs with the grade 8 bolt and teko nails. No additional blocking is necessary, and the anchor is less expensive than our ARS 2×8 strictly based on less material being used in manufacturing. The ARS 2×8 is designed for 2×4, 2×6 and 2×8 trusses and has a corresponding attachment hole to accommodate the truss. Both the ARS 2×4 and 2×8 can be used on 2×10 and 2×12 trusses/rafters using the drill-through attachment method. These anchors are supplied with a PVC flashing base for use on all asphalt shingle and wood shake roofs. The anchor is made from stainless steel and includes mounting hardware.
