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. Connectors

(hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (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 (see Figure 2). Connectors must

be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI

Z359.1 and OSHA.

2.10 MAKING CONNECTIONS: Use only self-locking snap hooks and carabiners with this equipment. Only use

connectors that are suitable to each application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and

strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.

DBI-SALA connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as speciﬁ ed in each

product's user's instructions. See Figure 3 for illustration of the inappropriate connections stated below. DBI-

SALA snap hooks and carabiners should not be connected:

To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.

In a manner that would result in a load on the gate.

n a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or carabiner catch on the

anchor and without visual conﬁ rmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point.

o each other.

irectly to webbing or rope lanyard or tie-back (unless the manufacturer's instructions for both the

lanyard and connector speciﬁ cally allow such a connection).

o any object which is shaped or dimensioned such that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and

lock, or that roll-out could occur.

NOTE: Other than 3,600 lb. (16 kN) gated hooks, large throat opening snap hooks should not be connected

to standard size D-rings or similar objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists

or rotates. Large throat snap hooks are designed for use on ﬁ xed structural elements such as rebar or cross

members that are not shaped in a way that can capture the gate of the hook.

Figure 2 - Unintentional Disengagement (Rollout)

If the connecting element to which a snap hook (shown) or carabiner

attaches is undersized or irregular in shape, a situation could occur

where the connecting element applies a force to the gate of the snap

hook or carabiner. This force may cause the gate (of either a self-

locking or a non-locking snap hook) to open, allowing the snap hook

or carabiner to disengage from the connecting point.
