Q: Where should the FormIt Anchor be installed, and what does it need to be fastened into?
A: Place it as high as practical above the work area and fasten directly into a structural member (rafter or truss), never just roof sheathing. Use only the fasteners and patterns specified in the installation instructions.
Q: Is it compatible with different roof coverings (shingle, tile, metal)?
A: It’s intended for wood-framed roofs. For shingles, mount through the covering into framing; for tile, remove the tile in the work zone and restore weatherproofing after; for metal systems, use a manufacturer-rated anchor designed for that substrate.
Q: How do I manage fall clearance and swing-fall risk with this anchor?
A: Install the anchor above the work position to reduce pendulum (swing) risk, connect at or above D-ring height when possible, and calculate required clearance considering lanyard/SRL deceleration, harness stretch, D-ring shift, and a safety margin.
Q: What should I do after removing the anchor at the end of the job?
A: Fill all fastener holes and restore the roof’s weather seal using compatible roofing materials/sealant per the instructions, then inspect from inside (if accessible) and outside to confirm there are no leaks.
