Sheathing:
Sheathing over top chords must be a minimum of 7/16” OSB or plywood and installed
over the anchor shoulders as shown in Fig. 1 to allow the attachment bolt to be installed
under the top chord. If sheathing is already in place or if anchors are to be evacuated
after use, cut a 3”x 3” opening through the sheathing centered over the top chord.

Connectors:
Connecting hardware must comply with current standards.
Attach only through the “Connector Attachment Hole” shown
at Fig. 2. See Fig. 10a,b pg.3 for connector types.
Cutting/Severing Hazard! Prevent lifelines/lanyards from
intersecting anchor stems.
Blocking 2x4 Top Chords:
2x8 anchors installed over 2x4 top chords or rafters
require a 24” length of 2x4 blocking. To prevent movement
attach blocking to the underside of the top chord as shown
in Fig. 3. 2x8 anchors will provide greater resistance
to force loads than a 2x4 anchor.
Personal Protection Equipment/PPE:
PPE refers to the common types of personal safety
equipment typically required for fall protection: Harness,
Lanyard, Lifeline, Shock Absorber, and Rope Grab. The
use of a shock or energy absorbing device is required
anytime there is exposure to a free fall when
using SAS anchorage devices.
Component Compatibility:
SAS anchorage devices are factory ensured for
compatibility with PPE manufactured by SAS. Users
must ensure component compatibility when using
equipment supplied by other manufacturers.
Framing Requirements:
Install onto top chords that are 2x4 or greater dimension.
Framing must be capable of supporting a 5,000lb (2,260kg)
load or 2 times the intended fall protection load.** Do not
install onto framing that is damaged or has spliced top chords.
11 Gauge and 14 Gauge:
14 ga. anchors have a strength test rating of
more than 6,000lb (2,721kg). 11 ga. anchors
have a strength test rating of more than 7,500lb
(3,400kg), to provide greater resistance to static
loading. Use for steep roofs or situations when
the anchor will be subjected to live loading.
Installation:
Anchors are supplied with (SAS) certified
grade 8 x 5/16” attachment bolts of sufficient
length to allow a lock nut to be installed as
shown in Fig. 3.Use 6 ea. 1-1/4” teko nails
to stabilize the anchor position and prevent
movement during use.
Drill Through Method:
2x4/2x8/2x12/ I-Joist and Wall anchors may
be installed by drilling through the top chord or
rafter as shown in Fig. 1. Use a 5/16” (9mm)
drill. DO NOT modify anchor by drilling additional
bolt holes and do not enlarge factory bolt or teko
nail holes.
Materials Specifications:
Fabricated from 304 grade stainless steel. Engineered to attach over wood truss top chords, rafters and
I-Joists with a single grade 8 bolt. Designed as a permanent or temporary fall protection anchorage
device and compatible with all flashing systems supplied by Super Anchor Safety(SAS)
Specification of Use:
Fall Arrest or Fall Restraint for one person with a maximum body weight of 340lb (154kg ) including
tools and equipment. Horizontal Lines or Multiple Users on a single anchor: use only ARS
2x8/2x12-11 ga. anchors, workers must not be exposed to a free fall, and the system designed by a
“Qualified Person”*.
* “Qualified Person” as defined by industrial safety standards. **As specified by OSHA 1926:502(d)(15)(i)(ii) or equal industrial standard.
WARNING TO USER:
Use Only Super Anchor Safety (SAS) Instruction/
Specification manuals for SAS equipment. You
must read this manual before you use this device.
Improper use can result in serious injury or
death. Consult SAS-07 or 2010 manual for more
information about fall protection.

Wall Mount™Anchors:
11ga. 2.0” wide SST Wall Mount anchors are designed to attach to the juncture of the top plate and truss or
rafter as shown in Fig. 4a or similar floor joist intersection. Drill a 5/16” hole through the framing and secure
factory lock nut and grade 8 attachment bolt. Attach back of anchor with 4ea. 16d sinkers. Do not use galvanized
nails. Notch top plates for flush interior. Space anchors along top plate at intervals that will prevent swing fall
hazards. Rafter Slope: Under 30° use model 1004. Use 1004-A for slopes greater than 30°.
Z-Purlin™ Anchors #1016:
14ga. SST fits most standard Z metal
purlins. 8”x 2-1/2” up to 9-1/2 x 2-3/4”
Available in custom sizes. Attaches
with two factory supplied grade 8 bolts
shown at Fig. 5a-5b. Designed as a
permanent anchor for use during and after
construction. Use Gray EPDM flashing
pkg. #2810 aluminum rim base. Install
flashing shown at Fig. 5c. Anchor package
includes gray stem cover and tether. Does
not include flashing fasteners. Z anchor
positioning guide on request.
Visual Inspection:
Anchors and the supporting structure
should be inspected before each use.
Underside: The attachment bolt
and lock nut must be installed as
shown at Figs. 3,4,5 & 6. for each
anchor type. For ARS series, 3 teko
nails must be installed through each
anchor leg. If the anchor has shifted
position as shown at Fig. 7c, inspect
to determine the cause. Anchors
subjected to a free fall or other force,
must be removed from service.
Topside: Inspect the anchor stem
and connector hole. If evidence of
damage as shown at Fig. 7a, or 7b,
or subjected to a fall impact, remove
from service.
I-Joist™ Anchors:
I-Joist widths 1-1/2” use #2801.
For 2-1/2” width use #1003. Order
custom sizes for wider widths.
Installation requires plywood or
OSB web filler shown at Fig. 6a,b,c.
Leave a 1/2” margin between
the web filler and truss flange.
Secure filler to truss web to prevent
movement. Position anchor and
drill a 5/16” d. hole through the
truss web and filler. Secure SAS
supplied grade 8 bolt and lock nut.
Engineering from truss mfg. may
be required for anchor installation
or drilling.
Modification/Non-Specified Use/Replacement:
Do not re-form, cut, bend, weld, drill, modify or repair anchors. Do
not use to secure scaffolding, guy lines warning lines, materials,
hoisting or tether for large animals. Remove From Service:
anchors subjected to non specified use, damage, alteration or in
service loading (free fall). Inspection: Ensure by inspection that the
anchor point framing subjected to a free fall or other force load, has
not been damaged.

ARS Moveable/Temporary Anchor:
11 ga. sst, powder coated red. Fitted with a sst ball
lock detent pin. May be used on open framing that
is partially sheathed and capable of supporting
the intended fall protection load. For 2x4 top
chords cut an 18.0” 2x6 trimmed to allow
1/8” gap between the detent pin and top
chord. (Fig. 8d). Fix anchor to blocking w/
deck screws. Cross bracing or sheathing
is required on the down-slope side,
(Fig. 8c) to prevent the blocking from
movement. Perform detent pin function
test before each use. Inspect Pin to
ensure that both ball locks are intact.
(Fig. 8e) Do not use if test fails, pin is
bent, handle is broken, or evidence of
other damage. Do not substitute pin with
other types. Make sure the detent pin
is in the locked position through both
anchor leg attachment holes.
Anchor Service Zones:
Circular Service Zones are plotted using a compass between the ridge and
Free Fall Line. At Fig. 11 a worker standing at the leading edge is allowed to
free fall 72” (1.8m) before his PPE begins to arrest the fall. Note the D-Ring
is 52” above the leading edge, allowing an additional 20” of length in the
lifeline, lanyard or SRL. The Free Fall Line used for plotting service zones is
located 20” from the leading edge. Adjustment Zones: Leading edges at
roof gables create a swing fall hazard. Slack in the Lifeline must be adjusted
as the worker moves up-slope in order to limit the free fall to 6ft. Zone
Margins: Areas outside the (SZ) radius line, such as hip corners, may
require additional anchors.
