Reusable Temporary Anchor

Key Specifications Powder-Coated Carbon Steel 5,000 lb D-Ring Strength Lag Screws Included

The FallTech 7493B1 is a reusable D-ring plate anchor engineered for temporary installation on wood roof structures. A single powder-coated carbon steel plate with a 2-1/4" coated alloy steel D-ring provides a compact, low-profile tie-off point for fall arrest systems. Installs with the included 3" Grade 5 lag screws into ridge or field decking—pull it when the job is done and bring it to the next site.

Overview

The FallTech 7493B1 Reusable D-Ring Plate Anchor is the simplest way to create a temporary overhead tie-off point on a wood-framed roof. A 9" x 3" steel plate distributes fall arrest loads across the decking while the 2-1/4" D-ring provides the connection point for your lanyard, SRL, or vertical lifeline system. Installation is straightforward: drive the included 3" Grade 5 lag screws through the pre-drilled holes into structural framing at the ridge or in the field. When the project is finished, back the screws out and move the anchor to the next job. The powder-coated finish resists corrosion between uses, and the flat-plate design keeps the profile low so it doesn't interfere with shingle installation or other roofing work happening around it.

Key Features

Reusable Plate Design

Powder-coated carbon steel plate withstands repeated installation and removal cycles. Move the anchor between jobsites to spread the cost across multiple projects.

5,000 lb Rated D-Ring

2-1/4" coated alloy steel D-ring with 5,000 lb minimum static strength. Connects to lanyards, SRLs, and vertical lifeline systems for single-worker fall arrest.

9" x 3" Anchoring Plate

Compact footprint distributes fall arrest loads while keeping the anchor low-profile. Pre-drilled fastener holes for repeatable installation.

3" Grade 5 Lag Screws Included

Heavy-duty Grade 5 lag screws ship with every anchor. Drive them through the plate into ridge framing or field decking—no separate hardware purchase needed.

Ridge or Field Installation

Mount at the roof ridge for overhead tie-off, or in the field for lateral positioning. Flexible placement for different roof layouts and work positions.

Powder-Coated Corrosion Protection

Powder-coated carbon steel finish resists rust and weathering between installations. Extends reusable service life across multiple projects and storage cycles.

Standards & Compliance Notice

OSHA Compliant — CSA Z259.15 Not Third-Party Certified

The FallTech 7493B1 is compliant with OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.66 for anchorage connectors, with a 5,000 lb minimum static strength rating. The manufacturer does not list CSA Z259.15 (Anchorage Connectors) third-party certification on the product specifications. Canadian provincial OHS codes generally require anchor points to either meet CSA Z259.15 or be rated by a qualified professional engineer to support 22.2 kN (5,000 lbs) per worker for fall arrest. The 7493B1 meets the strength requirement, but acceptance for Canadian fall arrest use is the responsibility of the installing party, a qualified professional engineer, or the site safety officer. For projects specifically requiring CSA Z259.15 certified anchors, choose a CSA-certified alternative from our catalogue.

Applications

Residential roof framing, shingling, and re-roofing
Commercial wood-deck roofing projects
Temporary fall protection during new-build roof construction
Maintenance and inspection work on wood-framed structures
Multi-site roofing crews needing portable anchor solutions
Low-profile tie-off where hinged or chain-style anchors are bulkier than needed

How to Choose the Right Wood Roof Anchor

The 7493B1 is the flat-plate reusable option in FallTech's wood anchor line. If you need a hinged anchor that conforms to both flat and sloped roofs up to 12:12 pitch, choose the FallTech 7410 Hinged Reusable Wood Roof Anchor. For heavy-duty jobs where a chain-style wood anchor gives more flexibility, the FallTech 7493A Reusable Heavy Duty Chain Anchor is a step up. For standing seam metal roofs, see our SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor. Pair any roof anchor with a CSA Z259.10 full-body harness and a CSA Z259.11 shock-absorbing lanyard or CSA Z259.2.2 SRL.

Compliance & Standards

Primary: OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.66 (Anchorage Connectors)

Static Strength: 5,000 lb minimum — meets OSHA / ANSI fall arrest load requirements

CSA Status: Not third-party certified to CSA Z259.15. Canadian users must verify acceptance with a qualified professional engineer or site safety officer before use in fall arrest applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 7493B1 CSA certified?

No. FallTech lists the 7493B1 as compliant with OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.66 only. It is not third-party certified to CSA Z259.15. The D-ring meets the 5,000 lb static strength requirement common to both standards, but final acceptance for use on a Canadian jobsite should be verified with a qualified professional engineer or your provincial OHS authority.

How is the 7493B1 different from the 7410?

The 7493B1 is a single flat plate with a D-ring, installed with 3" Grade 5 lag screws. The 7410 is a hinged two-plate anchor that conforms to sloped roofs up to 12:12 pitch and installs with 16D nails. Choose the 7493B1 when you want a low-profile fastened anchor on flat or low-slope wood decks; choose the 7410 when you need an anchor that flexes to match the roof angle on steeper pitches.

Can I reuse this anchor on multiple jobsites?

Yes. The 7493B1 is designed for repeated installation and removal. Back out the lag screws when the job is complete, inspect the plate and D-ring for damage, and reinstall at the next site. Always perform a visual inspection before each use and retire the anchor if the plate is bent, cracked, welds are compromised, or the D-ring shows deformation.

How many workers can tie off to this anchor?

One worker per anchor point. For multiple workers, install separate anchors at each work position or use an engineered horizontal lifeline system. The D-ring is rated at 5,000 lbs minimum static strength for single-person fall arrest.

What type of wood substrate does this work on?

The 7493B1 is designed for standard wood roof decking and framing. The 3" Grade 5 lag screws require solid wood substrate — plywood sheathing over rafters, trusses, or dimensional lumber at the ridge is the typical application. Do not install on rotted, damaged, or structurally compromised wood. Always drive the screws into structural framing members, not just sheathing.

Is the anchor reusable after a fall?

Like any fall arrest component that has arrested a fall, the 7493B1 should be inspected by a competent person following any fall event. If the plate, D-ring, or fastener holes show any deformation, elongation, cracking, or damage, the anchor must be retired and the wood substrate re-evaluated before a replacement is installed.
