INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
The following requirements outline the proper installation procedures to be followed.
Location: Select a location on an appropriate strength anchorage that will provide overall safety and proper loading. The
anchorage must be free of deformities, weather deterioration, or defects that may weaken the structure. WA-Anchor is for
use on a 7/12 pitch or less.
Structure: The structure to which the anchorage connector is attached must be void of any cracks, corrosion, and defects
that may weaken the structure. Do not install anchor to gable ends, facias, rake ends, overhangs, bottom cords, collar boards,
spliced sections, damaged framing, or framing that is not structurally capable of withstanding anticipated loads in the
direction of the pull.
Installing the WA-Anchor Roof Anchor
:
Step 1. Select a mounting location for the WA-Anchor Roof Anchor that meets or exceeds the strength
requirements. Installation sites must be selected to minimize the swing fall hazard and to limit the free
fall distance to less than 6ft. WA-Anchor fits up to 7/12 pitch.
Step 2. Place the inspected WA-Anchor anchor at the desired approved location and drill the rafter for
installation of the provided WA-Anchor Grade 8 Bolt.
Step 3. Install the provided Grade 8 Bolt and nut through the WA-Anchor and the pre-drilled rafter.
Step 4. Install the 4 provided 3.5” 16d nails through the pre-drilled holes in the back of the WA-
Anchor, securing each nail into the top of the wall.
DO NOT USE WITHOUT THE PROVIDED GRADE 8 BOLT & LOCK NUT!
Installed 3.5” 16d nails (qty. 4) and
provided Grade 8 bolt and nut.
