2.14  COMPATIBILITy OF COMPONENTS:

 Unless otherwise noted, Capital Safety equipment is designed for use with Capital 

Safety approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non approved components 

or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may affect safety and reliability of the complete system.

i

IMPORTANT:

 Read and follow manufacturer’s instructions for associated components and subsystems in your 

personal fall arrest system.

2.15  COMPATIBILITy OF CONNECTORS:

 Connectors are 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. Contact Capital Safety if you have any questions about compatibility.

  

Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2 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 7). Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and 

strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI Z359 and oSHA.

Figure 7  –  Unintentional disengagement

Figure 8  –  Inappropriate Connections

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.

Small ring or other 

non-compatibly 

shaped element

Force is applied to the 

Snap Hook.

The Gate presses against 

the Connecting ring.

The Gate opens allowing 

the Snap Hook to slip off.

2.16  MAKINg CONNECTIONS:

 Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be self-locking. 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.

Capital Safety connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specified in each product’s user’s 

instructions. See Figure 8 for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:
A.  To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.

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

i

NOTe:

 Large throat snap hooks must 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, unless the snap hook complies with ANSI 

Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your 

snap hook to verify that it is appropriate for your application.

C.  In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or carabiner catch on the anchor, and 

without visual confirmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point.

D.  To each other.
e.  By wrapping cable lifeline around anchorage and securing to lifeline except as allowed for WrapBax models.  

(See Section 4.5)

F.  To 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.

G.  In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
