Description

Our V-1 anchor is made in Virginia (ISO 9001:2015 facility). The precisely formed, TIG welded 7 gauge V-1 stainless steel anchor meets OSHA 1910 and 1926 requirements for one worker when installed through roof sheathing into a suitable roof rafter using (6) TimberLOK 4" hex-drive structural wood screws. As you will see in the video below, it installs simply and quickly with an impact driver.


It ships with 6 fasteners and the hex drive. Additional fasteners are easily available at Lowe's, Home Depot or buy a bucket of 250 fasteners via Amazon. Recommended for best use with Petzl's triact-locking Vulcan or Oxan carabiners (available for purchase through our custom packages).

There really is no better temporary roof anchor in existence than the V-1.  Although we know that, we get the same comment from our clients.  Once you begin using the V-1, you might just discard all the "butterfly" anchors you own.  Each hole in the V-1 is strategically placed for maximum holding power and minimal rafter damage.  Once the roof rafter is located, the V-1 is installed in 90 seconds with (6) 4" Timberlok screws and an impact driver using a 5/16" bit.  The V-1 is rated for 5,000 pounds parallel to the roof rafter.  In the photo below, we have installed the V-1 as temporary fall protection while we install V-18 permanent ridge anchors to replace the non-compliant cable fall protection system on the University dorm.

Use new fasteners for each installation.  We recommend our clients buy a 250 count bucket of fasteners through Amazon for about $100.  Roofers tend to use what's in their tool belt, so equipping them with an unused proper fastener for every installation is necessary.  

Approved fasteners:  TimberLOK 4" heavy duty wood screw.  Must penetrate roof sheathing and into a suitable roof rafter as determined by the job site competent person.

The V-1 meets OSHA 1910 and 1926 requirements for fall protection anchors for one person when it is loaded in a direction parallel to the suitable roof rafter in which it is attached.

The 2 video below shows how I approach fall protection utilizing Petzl's Grillon for work positioning.  This technique eliminates the fall hazard if done properly.  The user must be diligent about keeping the Grillon tight utilizing the harnesses pelvic ring attachment to remain in work positioning and not create enough length go over the eve or the rake.  Training is recommended.
What our clients are saying:

Orion Jenkins of Jenkins Slate Masters, Inc. (photo above, outside Pittsburgh):

"The V-1 anchor is strong, simple and effective and has been thoughtfully designed to save your life for a lifetime."

Mark.  Stockton, CA
"The V-1 anchors arrived Tuesday.  They are very well designed, and exquisitely made.  They are superb.  Thank you."
​Mark.  Stockton, CA


Chris Schmider, Prescott Roofing:
We sampled a few last year and really liked how these anchors can be used on both sides of the roof (and not be on the ridge in the way).  Another important factor is that they are smaller, which means you only have to screw through 2 shingles or remove less slate.  We have decided to have 2 or 3 anchors on each truck because of how great they worked out.
