Super Anchor Safety 1017A 2x4 Floor Joist Safety Bar

A temporary, reusable anchorage designed specifically for open-framing work over 2x4 floor joists. The 1017A spans across joist bays and locks in with quick-release detent pins—no nails or screws into the joists—so crews get a safe, stable tie-off point before the subfloor goes down. Rugged steel construction, a low-profile center tie-off, and jobsite-friendly handling make it a dependable solution for interior framing and deck-edge tasks.

Features

• Purpose-built for 2x4 floor joists; installs during the open-framing phase and removes before sheathing/subfloor installation
• Fast, tool-light setup with stainless detent pins—no fasteners driven into joists
• Spans common on-center spacing to create a centered, predictable tie-off location
• 5,000 lb minimum anchorage strength when installed and used as directed
• Single-user tie-off (typical max 310 lb including tools) as part of a complete PFAS; verify required fall clearance
• Compatible with locking snap hooks or carabiners; use with energy-absorbing lanyards or SRLs
• Powder-coated steel bar resists abrasion and jobsite abuse; bright finish improves visibility
• Keeps walking/working surfaces clear compared with makeshift anchorage methods
• Clear limitations: personal fall-protection anchorage only—do not use for bracing, alignment, hoisting, or lifting
• Inspection friendly: perform pre-use checks and periodic competent-person inspections; remove from service after any fall event or if damage is found
• Standards alignment when installed and used as directed (OSHA 1926.502; ANSI Z359.1/A10.32)

• Device: temporary, reusable floor-joist anchorage bar for single-user fall protection
• Structure attachment: clamps across 2x4 wood floor joists; no nails/screws into joists (locking detent pins)
• Materials: powder-coated mild-steel bar; stainless-steel locking detent pins; forged steel center D-ring
• Dimensions (overall bar): approximately 48 in length; low-profile center tie-off
• Dimensions (seating saddles): sized to seat fully on nominal 2x4 joists (≈1.5 in × 3.5 in)
• Span/gauge: designed to span and capture three adjacent joists; typical joist spacing 16–24 in on-center
• D-ring opening: ~2.0 in inside diameter (smooth radius for hooks/carabiners)
• Weight: approximately 15–17 lb per bar (with pins)
• Strength rating: minimum 5,000 lb anchorage strength when installed and used as directed
• User capacity: one user, up to 310 lb including tools and equipment (as part of a compliant PFAS)
• Compatible connectors: ANSI-compliant locking snap hooks or carabiners
• Finish: durable powder coat for corrosion and abrasion resistance; high-visibility colorway
• Use limitations: personal fall-protection anchorage only—do not use for bracing, alignment, hoisting, or lifting
• Compliance: OSHA 1926.502; ANSI Z359.1 / A10.32 (when installed and used as directed)
• Inspection/retirement: inspect before each use; remove from service after any fall event or if deformation, corrosion, pin damage, or other defects are found

• Position the safety bar across three 2×4 joists spaced 24″ O.C.
• Engage the locking detent pins to secure the bar to the joists.
• Adjust using the bump bar if necessary to ensure snug fit.
• Tie off up to two workers using lanyards or SRLs connected to the bar.
• After use, de-lock the detent pins and remove the bar from service.
