The Super Anchor 2813 Single D-Ring Roof Anchor is a highly versatile, low-profile solution for fall protection on residential and commercial structures. Engineered for installation at ridges, hip ridges, or directly in the field, this anchor can be deployed as a permanent fixture or a temporary tie-off point. Fabricated from 20-gauge 430 stainless steel, the 8.5" RS-10 anchor is designed to be installed directly over shingle roofing materials, providing a secure 5,000 lb-rated connection for 2026-compliant safety. For projects requiring a specialized retrofit over existing ridges, we also carry the Super Anchor 2815 Retrofit Anchor.

Low-Profile Design for Shingle and Wood Shake Roofs
The centerpiece of the Super Anchor 2813 is its compact, aesthetic-focused design that blends seamlessly into the roofline. When used as a permanent installation, the kit includes 3-1/4" stainless steel nails and a specialized butyl strip to ensure a 100% waterproof seal. This allows the anchor to stay in place for the life of the structure, providing ongoing access for gutter cleaning, chimney maintenance, and future roofing repairs without detracting from the building's curb appeal.

Super Anchor 2813 Single D-Ring FAQ
1. Can the 2813 anchor be installed over existing shingles?
Yes. The Super Anchor 2813 is designed to be surface-mounted directly over asphalt shingles. When using as a permanent anchor, ensure the butyl strip is applied to the underside of the anchor to maintain a watertight seal.
2. How is this different from the ARS Series anchors?
The Super Anchor 2830 ARS is installed during the framing stage and utilizes a PVC flashing base. The 2813 RS-10 is a simpler, surface-mounted D-ring that can be installed at any time during or after construction.
3. Is this anchor suitable for use on metal roofs?
The 2813 is optimized for shingle, wood shake, and simulated slate. For standing seam metal roofs, we recommend using specialized Standing Seam Roof Anchors to prevent penetrating the metal panels.
4. Can I use this for temporary applications?
Absolutely. For temporary use, you can skip the butyl flashing and install the anchor using hex head screws. Once the task is finished, simply remove the anchor. Note that the anchor should be inspected for damage before being reused.
5. How many anchors are required for a standard roof?
This depends on the roof geometry and the need for fall restraint. Safety professionals often use these in a series to create a perimeter system. For complex layouts, consider requesting a layout through our HLL Quote Request Form above.
6. Does the 2813 support more than one user?
No. The Super Anchor 2813 is a single-user fall arrest anchor. It is rated for one person with a total weight of 310 lbs. Connecting multiple lifelines to a single RS-10 anchor violates OSHA safety standards.
7. How do I avoid common mistakes during installation?
- 1. Fastener Depth: All nails or screws must penetrate into a structural truss or rafter. Nailing into the plywood sheathing alone will not meet the 5,000 lb requirement.
- 2. Waterproofing: For permanent installs, never skip the butyl strip. This prevents water from traveling down the fastener holes into the roof deck.
- 3. D-Ring Orientation: Ensure the D-ring is oriented in the direction of a potential fall to minimize leverage on the fasteners.
