Facade Access Anchorage Points
Super Anchor Safety offers anchor points for attaching suspended scaffolding to. Specific strength requirements are set forth for façade access equipment including a 4-to-1 safety factor. We offer a 5,000-pound, zero deformation, 3rd party certified anchors for such applications. Zero deformation at a 5,000-pound load requires special consideration in the engineering, design and manufacturing of the anchor. The supporting structure needs additional attention in order to sustain these loads as well. Super Anchor Safety has a full plethora of engineering documents that allows us to manufacture façade access anchors in heights up to 36” tall. The extensive 3rd party, pre-engineered anchors follow very strict designs to make sure that you are provided finished products that exceed the strict IWCA window washing safety anchor standards.

ANSI Anchorage Connectors Notes:
ANSI and OSHA publish definitions for what are commonly referred to as “Roof Anchors” in the fall protection industry. And there is some confusion about roof anchor types and the supporting structure/substrate they are attached to. The following definitions are explained in two parts:
ANSI Z359.0-2012 and Z359.18-2017 definitions and SAS use of those terms in our instructions. Some of the definitions are cited partially as they pertain to fall protection. E= ANSI marginal explanations.
Note: SAS will specify ANSI type A, T or D in our manuals and PID labels only when the device has been certified by a 3rd party to comply with that standard. That does not mean that our anchors do not comply with the testing requirement of the ANSI standard. All SAS anchors comply with OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.1-07. Following are explanations of the ANSI definitions for anchor connectors:
- ANSI 2.5 Anchorage:
- A secure connecting point or a terminating component of a fall protection system. E2.5 typically a fixed structural member such as a beam, post, column, floor or wall. SAS: Structural supporting member= I-Beams, wood beams, concrete substrates wood framing, top chords, vertical walls, floor joists.
- ANSI 2.6 Anchorage Connector:
- A component or sub-system that functions as an interface between the anchorage and a fall protection system. E2.6…temporary or permanently installed on anchorages such as beams, etc. SAS: Any type of roof anchor used for PPE, window washing or HLL systems.
- ANSI Z359.18 (2.2.1) Type A Anchorage Connector:
- Designed for an active fall protection system. SAS: an anchor that is not rated for suspended work such as window washing and is not specified to be proof loaded. Typically specified for PPE tie-off, HLL systems, and SRL’s fall arrest and work positioning.
- ANSI Z359.18 (2.2.2) Type T Anchorage Connector:
- Designed to support a suspended component/tie-back line or an active fall protection system. SAS: Commercial type anchors that are used to support window washers, work positioning, HLL systems or may be used the same as a type A. PPE fall arrest/fall restraint and attachment of SRL’s.
- ANSI Z359.18 (2.2.3) Type D Anchorage Connector:
- Allows permanent or temporary deformation or movement when arresting a fall. May not be suitable for work positioning, rescue, rope access or suspended component/tie-back. Note: can be certified for less than 2,700lb tensile strength. SAS: does not presently define our anchors as type D.
- Type A vs Type T
- This is strictly an ANSI term. Both type A and T may be identical in appearance, structural design, and materials. How do they differ? Both types have a 5,000lb min tensile strength requirement.
- Type A:
- Not Specified for proof loading (typically 2,500 lbs.)
- In not manufactured with stainless steel or HDG requires a 25 hour salt spray test
- Type T:
- Specified for 2,500lb or 2x the service load proof load. No permanent deformation in any direction the load is applied.
- If not mfg. with stainless steel or HDG requires 500hr salt spray test.
- CRO anchors specified for CAL-OSHA have no permanent deformation when a 5,000lb load is applied in any direction.
- Type A:
- This is strictly an ANSI term. Both type A and T may be identical in appearance, structural design, and materials. How do they differ? Both types have a 5,000lb min tensile strength requirement.
Summary:
The primary difference between type A and T is the proof loading requirement for type T. IWCA requires a 2500lb proof load for window washing anchors that are rated 4-1 design load or 1,250lb for 5,000lb min. tensile strength anchor. The same anchor design type A may not sustain the proof load without permanent deformation. SAS will always specify if our anchors can be subjected to proof loading.
Proof Loading Definition: A static force is applied to the anchors connector attachment point. This is a D-ring, loop top, or connector hole.
