FallTech C8242Y3 6' WeldTech Twin Leg Lanyard, Rebar Hooks | CSA Z259.11
FallTech C8242Y3 6' EAL Y-Leg Twin Leg WeldTech with Rebar Hooks Lanyard
CSA Z259.11-2017The FallTech C8242Y3 is the premium all-welded twin-leg shock-absorbing lanyard designed for 100% tie-off protection on structural steel and concrete jobsites. CSA Z259.11-2017 certified with the WeldTech™ series all-welded construction, this Y-leg lanyard combines a steel snap hook on the harness end with forged steel rebar hooks on both leg ends. Move safely between structural elements while maintaining continuous fall protection. All-welded design eliminates stitching vulnerabilities. Perfect for traversing structural work where anchor points are concrete, rebar, or steel columns and 100% tie-off is mandatory.
Overview
The FallTech C8242Y3 WeldTech 6-foot twin-leg shock-absorbing lanyard is purpose-built for structural steel and concrete construction requiring 100% tie-off protection. The Y-leg configuration provides two independent 6-foot legs from a single harness connection point, allowing you to alternately tie off to successive structural elements without disconnecting. The snap hook on the harness end connects to your dorsal D-ring. The forged steel rebar hooks on both leg ends wrap securely around #4–#18 rebar, concrete anchors, or structural columns—no modification needed. Each leg features its own integrated energy absorber limiting arrest forces to a maximum of 1,800 lbs per leg. WeldTech™ all-welded construction means every critical joint is fused, eliminating stitching vulnerabilities. This is the lanyard for crews working on structural sites where continuous fall protection while traversing structural elements is non-negotiable.
Key Features
All-Welded WeldTech™ Construction
Premium all-welded design eliminates stitching failures and weak points. Every critical joint is fused for maximum durability. Superior to stitched designs across high-wear, structural traversing applications.
Twin Leg Y-Configuration for 100% Tie-Off
Two independent 6-foot legs from a single harness connection. Alternate legs between anchor points to maintain continuous fall protection while moving. Meets all Canadian OHS requirements for 100% tie-off work on structural sites.
Forged Steel Rebar Hooks (Both Legs)
Premium forged steel rebar hooks rated for #4–#18 rebar and structural elements on both leg ends. Wrap securely around concrete, rebar, and steel columns without modification. Complies with CSA Z259.15 anchorage standards.
Steel Snap Hook (Harness End)
Plated alloy steel snap hook with 5,000 lb minimum tensile strength and 3,600 lb gate strength. Secure connection to harness dorsal D-rings and standard anchor points.
Integrated Energy Absorbers (Both Legs)
Each leg features its own polyester tear-away energy absorber, limiting maximum arrest force to 1,800 lbs per leg with an average arrest force of 900 lbs. Full impact protection on both legs simultaneously during a fall.
Heavy-Duty Polyester Web
1-inch polyester webbing with 5,000 lb minimum static strength per leg. UV-resistant and durable across Canadian construction seasons and demanding structural jobsites.

CSA Certification Details
CSA Z259.11-2017 — Energy Absorbers and Lanyards
CSA Z259.11 governs shock-absorbing lanyards used as part of a fall arrest system in Canada. The standard requires that each leg limit maximum arrest force to 8 kN (1,800 lbs) during a 6-foot freefall with a 100 kg (220 lb) test mass. The C8242Y3 meets this requirement with integrated polyester tear-away energy absorbers on each leg. The forged steel rebar hooks comply with CSA Z259.15 anchorage connector standards for tie-off to structural elements. Twin-leg Y-configuration with rebar hooks complies with all Canadian provincial OHS codes (Ontario O. Reg. 213/91, Alberta OHS Code Part 9, BC OHS Regulation Part 11, Quebec CNESST) for 100% tie-off protection on structural sites. The C-prefix confirms this is the Canadian-certified variant. WeldTech™ all-welded construction exceeds baseline CSA requirements, delivering premium durability for high-wear structural applications.
Applications
- Traversing work along structural steel beams and columns
- Concrete construction and rebar tie-off with sequential anchor points
- Bridge and highway construction requiring 100% tie-off protection
- Structural steel erection and assembly with continuous fall protection
- Industrial structures and maintenance requiring movement between rebar anchors
- Any structural application requiring both 100% tie-off and rebar/column tie-off
- Canadian jobsites where all-welded, dual-rebar-hook construction is mandated
Structural Work Requirements: Twin Leg with Rebar Hooks
Structural sites often demand both 100% tie-off protection (continuous connection while traversing) and rebar/column anchor points (securing to structural elements rather than pre-installed anchor rings). The C8242Y3 delivers both: twin legs for continuous protection, rebar hooks for structural element tie-off. For structural work requiring 100% tie-off but with pre-installed anchor rings or D-ring connectors, see the C8242Y twin leg lanyard with snap hooks. For single-leg structural work, see the C82423 single leg with rebar hook.
