Advanced Hinge-2 Design and Fastener Versatility
This advanced Hinge-2 Roof Anchor provides unmatched versatility by accommodating both nail and screw installations. Each 3-pack is supplied with 36 duplex nails for rapid temporary deployment on roof slopes up to 12/12 pitch. For steeper applications up to 20/12, the anchor is compatible with WS-Series reusable screws, which can be used up to 20 times for maximum cost-effectiveness. The heavy-duty forged D-ring is proof-tested to 3,600 lbs, ensuring seamless integration with standard snap hooks and carabiners in any fall arrest or restraint configuration.
Corrosion Resistance and Safety Compliance
The Dacromet-coated 11-gauge steel construction is designed to resist corrosion, providing years of reliable service in harsh environmental conditions. Featuring dual-size fastener holes (7/32" and 5/16"), the 3013-D adapts to varied job site requirements while maintaining full compliance with OSHA 1926:502 and ANSI Z359.18 Type D standards. Whether you are building new residential frames or performing commercial maintenance, this reusable anchor delivers a 5,000 lb minimum breaking strength to keep your crew safe and compliant.

Super Anchor 3013-D Reusable Anchor FAQ
1. Can this anchor be installed on a metal roof?
The 3013-D is designed for wood-framed structures. For temporary or permanent applications on standing seam metal, we recommend Standing Seam Roof Anchors to avoid damaging the metal panels with fastener penetrations.
2. How many times can I reuse the 3013-D anchor?
As long as the anchor passes a daily inspection by a competent person and has not been subjected to a fall, it can be reused indefinitely. However, the WS-Series screws are rated for approximately 20 uses before they should be replaced to maintain structural integrity.
3. Why are duplex nails used for installation?
Duplex (double-headed) nails allow for high-strength attachment while making removal effortless once the project is complete. This prevents damage to the anchor during the "tear-down" phase, preserving it for the next job site.
4. Can I use this anchor for a Horizontal Lifeline system?
Yes, the Hinge-2 design is frequently used in HLL setups. Because HLL rigging involves complex tension forces, we recommend submitting an HLL Quote Request Form above so our engineers can verify your specific layout.
5. Is this anchor suitable for steep 12/12 or 20/12 pitches?
Yes. The adjustable hinge allows it to fit perfectly over the ridge of a steep roof. When working on pitches between 12/12 and 20/12, you must use the approved WS-Series screws rather than nails to meet OSHA safety standards.
6. What happens if the anchor is involved in a fall?
If the anchor is subjected to fall arrest forces, it must be removed from service immediately and destroyed. Even if no visible damage is present, the steel and fasteners may have suffered stress fatigue that compromises their 5,000 lb rating.
7. How do I avoid common installation mistakes?
- 1. Center on Rafter: Always ensure the fasteners penetrate through the sheathing and into a structural rafter or top chord.
- 2. Correct Fastener Count: Use all required fastener holes as specified in the Super Anchor 3013-D Instruction Manual. Partial fastening is a major safety violation.
- 3. Inspection: Check for any cracks in the Dacromet coating or deformation in the D-ring before every shift.
