SPECIFIC GLOSSARY REFERENCE BOXES: Black Glossary Reference Boxes on the front
cover of this instruction reference the following items:
1 : Concrete Wedge Anchor
Termination
11 : Vinyl
DESCRIPTION: The Saflok
or overhead concrete applications. The anchor's End Termination (1E) expands Wedges (1F) to secure the anchor
in a 20 mm (or 3/4 in.) mounting hole. A spring-tensioned Trigger (1C) and Retractor Cables (1J) release the
Wedges to allow immediate removal and relocation to another hole. A Swivel Ring (1A) serves as the connection
for Fall Arrest, Work Positioning, Restraint, or Personnel Riding systems.
PURPOSE: The Concrete Wedge Anchor is designed for use as a component of a Personal Fall Arrest System
(PFAS). PFASs are used where free fall is possible before the fall is arrested and typically include: a Self Retracting
Lifeline (EN 360) or Energy Absorbing Lanyard (EN 355); connector (EN 362) to attach to the anchor; and a Full
Body Harness (EN 361).
REQUIREMENTS: Installation and use of this equipment is restricted to the following limitations:
• Capacity: The Concrete Wedge Anchor is designed for use by persons with a combined weight (clothing, tools,
etc.) of no more than 141 kg. No more than one personal protective system may be connected at one time.
NOTE: For emergency rescues it may be acceptable to connect more than one system if the anchorage will
support the anticipated loads.
• Maximum Arresting Force: PFAS used with this equipment must meet applicable EU CE requirements. The
PFAS must be capable of arresting the user's fall with a maximum arresting force of 6 kN.
WARNING: Mark or label the Concrete Wedge Anchor with the intended application. Use of this equipment
for an application that does not meet the anchorage strength requirement stated above may result in
serious injury or death.
• Connections: When using a hook to connect to the Concrete Wedge Anchor, ensure roll-out cannot occur.
Connecting hardware must be a Carabiner or 16kN (3,600 lbs) Self-locking Snap Hook.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS: The following requirements must be observed to ensure safe effective
installation of the Concrete Wedge Anchor:
A. Concrete: The concrete in which the anchor is secured must have a compressive strength of 20.7 MPa
(3,000 psi). The Concrete Wedge Anchor is not intended for use in lightweight concrete, hollow block, grout,
stone, wood, steel, or any other substrate. The concrete base material must be at least 12.7 cm thick.
B. Mounting Hole Location: The allowable distance from an edge or corner for mounting the
Concrete Wedge Anchor will vary with the thickness and width of the concrete. Mounting hole location
requirements are as follows:
Concrete Thickness:
30.5 cm
25.4 cm
20.3 cm
12.7 cm
NOTE: Drill bits for drilling mounting holes must conform to CE requirements.
