13.0 ROPE TERMINATION PLATE INSTALLATION
14.0 EDGE PROTECTOR INSTALLATION
If the VLL is unequipped with connecting hardware, the FS875 can be used to provide a safe connection to the anchorage. The FS875 can be used with
5/8” or 3/4” inch rope. Figure 14 illustrates the installation steps for the FS875.

018-9000 / 018-9001
Great care should be taken to ensure the lifeline does not come into contact with a sharp edge or abrasive surface. If contact with an abrasive surface is
unavoidable, the user must ensure that the lifeline is protected from damage. Safewaze recommends use of a rope protector such as our 018-9000 or
018-9001.
1. The 018-9000 / 018-9001 edge protectors are suitable for use with any type of rope lifeline.
2. The 018-9000 rope protector is 18” (45.72 cm) long. The 018-9001 rope protector is 36” (91.44 cm) long. Both sizes have sewn in hook and loop
fastener material along the entire length of the protector.
3. Place rope into the protector by pulling apart the hook and loop fastener along the length of the protector.
4. After opening up the protector, position the protector on the rope where it will be required, and enclose the rope in the protector by resealing the hook
and loop fastener. Each protector has a sewn in web loop at either end for attachment to the rope lifeline. Attachment can be performed with a small
bungee style cord, plastic zip tie, or with an alpine butterfly knot and carabiner.
5. Figure 15 indicates the 018-9000 / 018-9001 in typical installation configurations.
