Super Anchor Safety 2811 - Super Z-Purlin Single Pack Anchor, Stem, Flashing, Bolts and Manual

A permanent roof anchor engineered for pre-engineered metal buildings that use Z-purlins. The Super Z-Purlin Anchor provides a discreet, code-compliant tie-off point for routine access and service work. The single pack includes everything needed for a watertight install—anchor, stem, EPDM flashing with vulcanized aluminum strip, Grade 8 bolts, and the installation manual—so crews can achieve a clean, reliable finish in one visit. Rated to 5,000 lb for one user, it’s built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel to deliver long service life in demanding environments.

Features

• Purpose-built for industry-standard Z-purlin roof structures on pre-engineered metal buildings
• Permanent single-user anchorage for fall arrest or fall restraint (when installed and used as directed)
• 11-gauge 430 stainless steel anchor/stem for corrosion resistance and durability
• EPDM flashing base with vulcanized aluminum strip conforms to metal profiles for a tight, weather-resistant seal
• Injection-molded stem cover helps shed water and protect the penetration
• Performance: minimum tensile/breaking strength 5,000 lb; maximum user 340 lb including tools and equipment
• Temperature rating: −30 °F to 120 °F
• Installation hardware included: 5/16"-18 × 2-1/4" Grade 8 bolt with locknut (use only the pattern in the manual)
• Discreet, low-profile finish that blends into the roof once installed
• Compliance: OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.66; ANSI Z359.1-07 and A10.32-2012; CSA Z259.11-05 (for applicable products)

• Q: Where should I mount the anchor on a metal building, and how should it be oriented?
  A: Install it directly to an industry-standard Z-purlin (not just roof sheet metal). Place it as high above the work area as practical so the load follows the roof slope, and keep the lifeline aligned with the expected fall path to minimize swing-fall. Avoid side- or back-loading.
• Q: How do I keep the installation watertight on a ribbed metal roof?
  A: Use the EPDM flashing base with the vulcanized aluminum strip, formed to the panel profile per the instructions. Seal all penetrations, tighten hardware to spec, and inspect after the first significant rain. Re-roofing requires lifting the panel in the work zone, replacing/resealing the flashing, and re-torquing hardware.
• Q: What systems and connectors can I use with this anchor?
  A: Connect one user at a time (up to 340 lb including tools) using ANSI-compliant locking snap hooks or carabiners with an energy-absorbing lanyard or SRL, and verify required fall clearance. Horizontal lifeline use is allowed only when a qualified person has engineered and approved the system.
• Q: What inspections and removal-from-service rules apply?
  A: Perform a pre-use check each shift and periodic competent-person inspections. Remove the anchor from service after any fall event or if you find deformation, corrosion, loose/damaged hardware, compromised flashing/stem cover, or other damage. Verify all fasteners are tightened to spec within the operating temperature range (−30 °F to 120 °F).
