• It is necessary to protect the snap hook gate with locking gear. - See drawing.

• The length of the snap hook should be taken into account when used in any fall arrest system as it will influence the length of a fall.

• It must be taken into consideration that some situations during use may reduce the strength of the snap hook, e.g. connecting to wide straps.

The following conditions can result in rollout* when a non-locking snap hook is used. Avoid the following connections:

Direct connection of a snap hook to horizontal lifeline.

Two (or more) snap hooks connected to one D-ring.

Two snap hooks connected to each other.

A snap hook connected back on its integral lanyard.

A snap hook connected to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.

Improper dimensions of the D-ring, rebar, or other connection point in relation to the snap hook dimensions that would allow the snap

hook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snap hook.

* Rollout: A process by which a snap hook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or object to which it is coupled.

Compatibility of components and subsystems

This equipment is designed for use with ANSI approved components and subsystems. Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved

components or subsystems may be incompatible, and may jeopardize the safety and reliability of the complete system.

Compatibility of connectors

Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a

way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become

oriented.

Contact the manufacturer if you have any questions about compatibility.

Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lb. (22 kN).

Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible.

Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage.
