Retro-Fit Anchor
Many older and recently constructed homes do not have roof anchors. The Retro-Fit Anchor provides an economical and efficient solution that can be installed over existing roofing without having to access the framing. The anchor is designed to be installed by removing only a portion of the ridge and does not require a conventional flashing system. Use over asphalt shingle, wood shake or metal roofing. The butyl flashing strip attached to the under side of the anchor will provide a water resistant installation. Compatible with standard and vented type ridge-cap systems, the low profile strap anchor is aesthetically pleasing and can also be painted to match the roof color.
Made from two layers of 20 gauge stainless steel, this strap type anchor has two D-Rings allowing tie-off on both sides of the roof when installed over the ridge. Each anchor is supplied with stainless steel spiral shank nails, factory installed flashing strip, and instruction manual. Optional powder coated custom colors are available upon request.

2013-A Replacement fastener package. Includes 8 stainless steel spiral nails.

RS-20 Rooftop Application
Anchor is centered over top chord through roof sheathing. Installed over the ridge and on top of the tile head-lap.
How about an anchorage device for high and low profile roof tiles that does not require a flashing system and can be retro-fitted onto existing roofing? The RS-20 is the solution. Using two layers of 20 gauge stainless steel, the anchor attaches at the ridge, the hip or in the field and is easily conformed to the pan or barrel section of the tile. By penetrating under an overlapping course the need for a flashing system is eliminated. Attachment to the framing is easily accomplished using factory supplied stainless steel spiral shank nails. A minimum of two anchors are required to provide fall protection for both sides of the roof.
The RS-20 is also compatible with asphalt shingles, wood shake, metal, slate, copper and "simulated tile" metal roofs.

Super Z-Purlin Anchor
(Above) The Super Z-Purlin fits 8"x2.5" up to 9.5"x2.75" Purlins

Developed specifically for the metal building industry, the Super Z-Purlin provides an easy to install anchorage device that includes attachment bolts. The stem height of the anchor is compatible with high rib roofing panels and blanket type insulation. Waterproofing is achieved using a high quality E.P.D.M. gray colored flashing boot and matching stem cover that has an aluminum flange allowing it to be configured easily to any shape panel. The anchor stem features a collapsible design that will arrest a fall and also reduce the shock load to the Z-Purlin by several hundred pounds.
The anchor is engineered to fit all common size Z-Purlins, with custom sizes available upon request. Fabricated using 14 gauge stainless steel, the Super Z-Purlin anchor can be installed onto a purlin before or after erecting and will provide a safe tie-off during the construction period. But the real benefits are realized by workers who have to perform service or maintenance. Few surfaces are as dangerous as a high rib metal roof panel when it is icy or wet, or has an accumulation of algae. A cost effective solution to one of the industries most dangerous hazards. Supplied without caulking or flashing fasteners.

Vertical Wall Anchors
(Above) On the left, # 1004-A 45º is attached to a 2x6 top plate. On the right, # 1004 is attached to a 2x4 top plate shown above a low pitched roof.

Siding and related external wall construction, such as window installation and painting, expose workers to an even greater risk than working on elevated surfaces such as roofs. Fall from scaffolding and especially ladders accounts for more serious injuries than any other job site hazard. Vertical Wall Anchors provide an easy cost effective way to provide protection that can be left in place or removed from service. The low visibility anchor stem comes in two standard configurations allowing a wide range of installation options. Attaches by drilling through the top chord and securing to the wall plate using 4 16d sinkers. The anchor is supplied with all necessary fasteners. Designed to accommodate the bird blocking component on low or steep slopes and fabricated using 1/8" thick stainless steel.
