CONNECTOR COMPATIBILITY LIMITATIONS
Malta Dynamics equipment must be coupled only to compatible connectors that
are suitable to your application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size,
shape and strength. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked. OSHA 29
CFR 1926.502 prohibits the use of snap hooks to engage to objects unless the
following requirements are met:
• Snap hook must be a locking type snap hook.
•Snap hook must be explicitly designed for such a connection. “Designed
for” means that the manufacturer of the snap hook specically created the
snap hook to be used to connect to the equipment in question.
Use of a non-locking snap hook can result in rollout (a process by which a snap
hook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or object to
which it is coupled. ANSI Z359.0- 2007). Malta Dynamics connectors (snap hooks
and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specied in each product’s user’s
instructions. See Illustration 1 for inappropriate connections.

instruction manual based upon date of manufacture.
Avoid the following types of connections:
• Connection of two (or more) snap hooks/rebar hooks or carabiners to one
D-ring.
• Connection of a snap hook/rebar hook back to its integral lanyard.
• Direct connection of a snap hook/rebar hook to horizontal lifeline.
• Connection in a manner that results in a load on the gate. NOTE: Large
throat opening snap hooks should not be connected to standard size D-rings
or similar objects, as such use will result in a load on the gate if the hook or
D-ring twists or rotates. Large throat snap hooks are designed for use on
structural elements such as rebar or cross members that are not shaped in
such a way that they may capture the gate of the hook.
• False engagement connections, where protruding features of the snap
hook/rebar hook or carabiner may catch on the anchor and seem to be fully
engaged to the anchor point. Always conrm engagement.
• Connection to snap hooks or carabiners.
• Do not connect a snap hook/rebar hook into a loop or thimble of a wire rope
or attach in any way to a slack wire rope.
• Direct connection to webbing lanyard, webbing loop, rope lanyard or tie-back
(unless the manufacturer’s instructions for both the lanyard and connector
specically allow such a connection).
• Connection of a snap hook to a D-ring, rebar, or other connection point of
improper dimensions in relation to the snap hook dimensions or congurations
that could cause the snap hook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion
of the snap hook, or such that snap hook or carabiner will not fully close and
lock, or that roll-out could occur.
• Snap hook/rebar hook must be free to align with applied load as intended.
• Carabiner may be connected to a loop or ring connector already occupied
by a choker style connector. This type of connection is prohibited for snap
hooks/rebar hooks.
