00510 Ridge-It roof anchor questions and CSA status
Is the Guardian 00510 Ridge-It roof anchor CSA certified?

How does the Guardian 00510 sit on the ridge?
It is bent at its centre and the plate centre goes directly over the roof peak; ridge cap or shingles cover the plate and the D-rings stay uncovered.
