Type 1 is a cable Tie-Off Adapter. Type 2 is a twin-ring cable Tie-Off Adapter. Type 3 is a twin-ring cable Tie-Off Adapter that
contains a flemish eye splice. Type 4 is a web Tie-Off Adapter. Type 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all types of single point Tie-Off Adapters
that are designed to be secured around a structural beam or support. Tie-Off Adapters may be used as anchorage connectors for
a horizontal lifeline if the system is designed, installed, and used under the supervision of a Qualified Person.
Type 5 is an Anchorage Extender and is only to be used to attach onto an existing anchorage connection point. Type 5 is not
designed to wrap around a structure.
Figure 2 illustrates components of the Tie-Off Adapters and the Anchorage Extender. See Table 1 for Component Specifications
and Connector Specifications. The Tie-Off Adapters and Anchorage Extender are comprised of either a Cable Lifeline (A) or a
Web Lifeline (B). The Tie-Off Adapter is secured about a structural beam or support with the action of its end connectors. End
connector options include Snap Hooks (F), O-Ring Connectors (C), Carabiners (D), and D-Rings (E).
