1/0 - APPLICATIONS:
1/1 PURPOSE: Tie Down's Parapet Wall Anchor is a portable anchorage connector designed for fall arrest applications and
was developed to be used in locations where a low parapet wall provides an anchor site. Do not hang, lift or support
tools or equipment from this device.
A. FALL ARREST: In this application, the parapet wall anchor is used as part of a complete fall arrest system. Such
systems typically include a full body harness, and must include either a shock absorbing lanyard or self retracting
lifeline. Maximum permissible free fall is 6 feet (1.8 m).
1/2 LIMITATIONS: The following application limitations must be recognized and considered before using this product:
A. ANCHORAGE: This anchorage connector system is intended to be installed on a parapet wall up to 16 inches
(40.64 cm) thick and the wall must meet the anchorage strength requirements as set forth in section 2.4.
B. CAPACITY: This anchorage connector system is designed for use by persons with a combined weight (person,
clothing, tools, etc.) of no more than 310 lbs. (141 kg). Only one personal protective system may be connected to the
anchorage connector.
C. FREE FALL: Personal fall arrest systems must be rigged in such a way as to limit the free fall to a maximum of 6 feet
(1.8 m) (Ref. ANSI Z359.1).
D. FALL CLEARANCE: Make certain that enough clearance exists in all potential fall paths to prevent striking an object.
The amount of clearance needed is dependent upon the type of connecting subsystem used (ie. shock absorbing lanyard
or self retracting lifeline), and the anchorage location. Refer to manufacturer's instructions of the connecting subsystem
or component for more information on fall clearance.
