manufacturer’s instructions for all components and subsystems in your PFAS.
Not following this guidance may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and
possibly affect the safety and reliability of the system.
· Connectors are compatible with connecting elements when they have been
designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not
cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they
become oriented.
· Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at
least 5,000 lbs. (22 kN).
· Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components.
· Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may
unintentionally disengage (Figure 1).

FIGURE 1: UNINTENTIONAL DISENGAGEMENT
1. Non-Compliant Part
2. Gate Presses Against
Non-Compliant Part
3. Gate Opens
4. Parts Disengage
Using a connector that is undersized or irregular in shape (1) to connect a snap hook or carabiner could allow the connector to force open the gate of the snap hook or carabiner. When force is applied, the gate of the hook or carabiner presses against the non-compliant part (2) and forces open the gate (3). This allows the snap hook or carabiner to disengage (4) from the connection point.
9.0 MAKING CONNECTIONS
Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be double locking and/
or twist lock. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape, and
strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all connectors
are fully closed and locked.
Safewaze connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) are designed to be used
only as specified in each product’s manual. See Figure 2 for examples of
inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:
· To a D-ring to which another connector is attached. · In a manner that would
result in a load on the gate (with the exception of tie-back
hooks). · In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap
hook or
carabiner catch on the anchor, and without visual confirmation seems to be
fully engaged to the anchor point. · To each other. · By wrapping the web
lifeline around an anchor and securing to lifeline, except as allowed for tie-
back models. · To any object which is shaped or sized in a way that the snap
hook or carabiner will not close and lock, or that roll-out could occur. · In
a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
FIGURE 2: INAPPROPRIATE CONNECTIONS
Large throat snap hooks must not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with ANSI Z359.12-2019 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb. (16 kN) gate.
