Things To Know:
AA402 is designed for installation in concrete and structural steel. It has been specifically developed for applications in rope access
(abseiling) and it can be also used to support a fall arrest load of 15 kN provided a suitable personal shock absorber is used.
Anchor Rating:
The AA402 eyebolt has been independently tested in accordance with AS/NZS 5532:2025 and verified as a 15 kN rated rope access/
fall arrest anchorage device.
Fixing Options:
Use only approved chemsets or M12 mechanical anchors meeting the required performance criteria.
• Suitable for cracked and non-cracked concrete
• Minimum embedment 110mm for chemical anchors
Examples Include:
- Chemical HILTI HVU M12 (Hole 14 Dia) using SRA Setting Tool
- Chemical HILTI HIT or HILTI RE 500 (Hole 14 Dia) or equivalent
- Hilti HSL 3 M12 and HSL 3B M12 (Hole 18 Dia)
- Through bolt M12 (Hole 14 Dia)
Concrete Specifications:
- Min. concrete strength: 25 Mpa
- Min. slab thickness: 150 mm
- Min. distance to edge: 200 mm
- Min. distance to another anchor: 200mm
Note:
Edge distances less than stated minimum may be permitted where verified by an anchor manufacturer design (eg. HILTI). Verification must be based on project-specific parameters including concrete strength, embedment depth, anchor size and edge condition, with documented capacity calculations.
The Benefits of using a AA402 Eye Bolt Anchor
- Energy Absorbing Anchors: Some comparable anchors incorporate built-in energy absorbers. While the AA402 requires a separate shock absorber, ensuring a personal shock-absorbing lanyard is equally effective.
- Rotating/Pivoting Eye Bolts: Certain eye bolts allow rotation to reduce rope wear. The AA402’s fixed eye is robust, and a swiveling connector can be added if required.
- Markings and Identification: Similar anchors often include laser-etched identification, batch numbers, or QR codes for simplified traceability. The AA402 also offers complete traceability to help with inspections.
- Multiple Roof Profiles: On metal roofs with purlins, specialized roof anchors (e.g., top-fix or surface-mount anchors) might be more appropriate. The AA402 is primarily designed for concrete or steel substrates.
