MINIMUM substrate thickness: Wood: 3/4” CDX or better; Metal: 20g or better.
Applicable roof pitches: 0/12 - 12/12.
All fasteners MUST be fully embedded in substrate.
Temper Anchor MUST install flush against substrate. NEVER install onto bare rafter or truss.
All installation must be done under the supervision of a Competent Person.
1. Determine installation location for anchor; ensure location is free of debris, rot, decay, cracking, and
hazardous materials. NEVER install on gable ends, fascias, rake ends, overhangs, bottom cords, collar boards,
spliced sections, or substrate incapable of withstanding application minimum loads.
8 Per Side:
6 in center,
1 left of center,
1 right of center.
Total: 16.
5. A Competent Person must ensure all fasteners are installed correctly. Rubber gaskets on fasteners must
be compressed against Temper Anchor. DO NOT over-tighten fasteners. Fasteners are over-tightened if
gasket breaks, or is entirely squeezed out from underneath fastener.
!
WARNING
NEVER load anchor improperly.
Prior to installation, refer to
anchorage positioning chart (pg. 9)
to ensure installation location will
satisfy intended work application(s).
2. Make considerations for eliminating or minimizing swing
fall hazards.
3. Ensure all fasteners are those supplied by Guardian Fall Protection, or are deemed compatible by a
Competent Person.
4. Place Temper Anchor over roof ridge, and adjust to fit pitch. Depending on installation type, adhere to the
following requirements:
• For installation onto metal and into field: use (16) screws
(8 per side), 6 in center column of Fastener Installation Holes,
in 1 hole left of center, and in 1 hole right of center. Guardian
recommends using HILTI Kwik-Pro Self-Drilling Screws.
Fasteners must be selected and deemed compatible by a
Competent Person.
• For installation onto wood and into truss or
other compatible support beam: use (12) #12 2”
screws (6 per side) in center column of Fastener
Installation Holes, OR (12) 16d 3--1/2” nails
(6 per side) in center column of Fastener
Installation Holes.
• For installation onto wood and into field
(not positioned over truss or support beam):
use (32) #12 2” screws (16 per side).
