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.
