1 Designers. Manufactures and Professional Advisors in Height Safety, Controlled Access and Retrieval Systems, Accredited to International Safety Standards L4544 Roof Anchor For Timber Truss Roofs with Tile or Metal Roofing Fitting Instructions This Roof anchor complies with the requirements of AS/NZS It is able to sustain a load of 22kN and will distort if a load such as may occur during a fall is applied. Notes: Capital Safety Group cannot warrant the roof structure. If in doubt, consult an engineer or the strut/roof frame manufacturer to verify structural adequacy prior to installation. It is recommended that all anchors only be fitted by competent persons. All roof anchors are required by law to be inspected and recertified annually. Further details can be obtained from AS/NZS :2000, or contact Sala on THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ IN FULL BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION Head Office and Manufacturing 20 Fariola Street Silverwater NSW 2128 Australia Telephone 61 (0) Facsimile 61 (0) sales@capitalsafety.com.au A Division of the Capital Safety Group (Australia) Pty Ltd A.BN

2 Sala Roof Anchors can be installed during roof construction, or retrofitted after the building is completed. The roof anchors can be installed by a single person, however two people working together can decrease the time taken for installation. Preparation The Threaded Eye Bolt Assembly (200mm) is made up of 3 components: (a) an eye bolt with 16mm threaded bar (b) a 25 mm x 140mm stainless tube (c) 1 x M16 relieved nut Assemble these components as shown in diagram one, ensuring the relieved side of the nut is located within the stainless steel tube, and tighten by hand. Diagram One Trim a hole in the conical end of the weather seal to ensure a tight fit to the stainless steel tube. Now slide the weather seal onto the assembly from the bottom and position on the stainless steel tube. The roof anchor is now ready for installation.

3 Installation for Tile Roofs Step One: Remove the roof tile where the roof anchor is to be located. Step Two: Position the flat stainless steel plate with elongated nut welded to it, level with the top of the timber. Mark the location for the holes to be drilled through the timber truss using the steel plate as a template. Drill the holes in the truss with a 9mm drill. Step Three: Fit the 8mm bolts through the drilled holes. Now position the stainless steel backing plate to the opposite side of the truss and attach the washers and Nylock nuts to the bolts. Tighten the assembly to the truss to ensure a tight fit. Step Four: Determine the location for the hole to be made in the roof tile. Use an appropriate hole saw to drill the hole in the roof tile to a diameter of 32mm. Once the hole is drilled in the tile, it should be refitted to the roof, whilst ensuring the hole is directly located above the threaded nut. Step Five: Insert the threaded eye bolt assembly through the roof material and screw the assembly into to the threaded portion of the stainless steel truss plate in a clockwise direction. Tighten the eye nut assembly to a torque of approximately 140Nm. To facilitate the correct orientation of the anchor, tighten the eye bolt using a bar. Diagram Two Note: Ensure that the eyelet is oriented correctly during final tightening (see Diag. 3).

4 Step Six: Ensure that the roof tile is free of all dust and contaminants. Step Seven: Push the weather seal down the body of the assembly and form the lower portion to the contour of the tile. Use an appropriate sealant on the underside of the weather seal as required. Note: Alternative flashings may be used as long as a waterproof seal is attained around the tube of the anchor and the surface of the tile. Diagram Three Step Eight: Secure the data tag to the stainless steel tube above the top of the weather seal using the plastic ties. All roof anchors are required by law to be inspected and recertified for use annually. Further details can be obtained from AS/NZS :2000. Alternatively, contact Sala on if you require any details regarding the certification of anchor points. Additional inspection data tags can be purchased from your local Sala distributor.

5 METAL ROOF INSTALLATION Fitting Option 1 Prior to roof sheeting installation. Step One: Position the flat stainless steel plate with elongated nut welded to it, level with the top of the timber. Mark the location for the holes to be drilled through the timber truss using the steel plate as a template. Drill the holes in the truss with a 9mm drill. Step Two: Fit the 8mm bolts through the drilled holes. Now position the stainless steel backing plate to the opposite side of the truss and attach the washers and Nylock nuts to the bolts. Tighten the assembly to the truss to ensure a tight fit. Diagram Two Step Three: Determine the location for the hole to be made in the roof sheet. Use an appropriate hole saw to drill the hole in the roof sheet to a diameter of 32mm. Once the hole is drilled in the sheet it can be fitted to the roof. Ensure the hole is located directly above the threaded nut. Step Four: Insert the threaded eye bolt assembly through the roof material and screw the assembly into to the threaded portion of the stainless steel truss plate in a clockwise direction. Tighten the eye nut assembly to a torque of approximately 140Nm. To facilitate the correct orientation of the anchor, tighten the eye bolt using a bar. Step Five: Push the weather seal down the body of the assembly and form the lower portion to the contour of the sheeting (if applicable). After ensuring that the roof sheeting is free of all dust and contaminants, use an appropriate sealant on the underside of the weather seal as required. Diagram Three Note: Ensure that the eyelet is aligned correctly before final tightening.

6 Step Six: Secure the data tag to the stainless steel tube using the plastic ties. All roof anchors are required by law to be inspected and recertified for use annually. Further details can be obtained from AS/NZS :2000. Alternatively, contact Sala on if you require any details regarding the certification of anchor points. Additional inspection data tags can be purchased from your local Sala distributor. Diagram Four Fitting Option 2 Retrofitting to an existing roof. Step One: Drill a 32mm hole from underneath the roof using a 32mm hole saw/drill. Step Two: Position the flat stainless steel plate with elongated nut welded to it, level with the top of the timber and in line with the hole in the roofing material. Mark the location for the holes to be drilled through the timber truss using the steel plate as a template. Drill the holes in the truss with a 9mm drill. Step Three: Fit the 8mm bolts through the drilled holes. Now position the stainless steel backing plate to the opposite side of the truss and attach the washers and Nylock nuts to the bolts. Tighten the assembly to the truss to ensure a tight fit. Diagram Five Step Four: Insert the threaded eye bolt assembly through the roof material and screw the assembly into to the threaded portion of the stainless steel truss plate in a clockwise direction. Tighten the eye nut assembly to a torque of approximately 140Nm. To facilitate the correct orientation of the anchor, tighten the eye bolt using a bar. Step Five: Push the weather seal down the body of the assembly and form the lower portion to the contour of the sheeting (if applicable). After ensuring that the roof sheeting is free of all dust and contaminants, use an appropriate sealant on the underside of the weather seal as required.
