Component can be used on concrete and steel
Numerous options for securing to the supporting structure (with compound anchor and threaded rod, bolts)
In the event of a fall, the anchoring device may deform without breaking, and can resist a nominal arrest load of 1200 daN
The anchoring device may be used for rescue operations only within its operational limits and if in perfect working order
Advantages of A2 (AISI 304) stainless steel:
- remains unchanged over time, being resistant to weather induced corrosion
- because of its intrinsic characteristics, the material can dissipate more energy, in the event of a fall, compared to zinc-plated steel, thereby reducing the need for maintenance operations on the attachments and on the connection structure
Composition of the anchor line (please also refer to the diagrams in the information pages):
- Single span (min. length 2 m and max. 15 m): 2 end points, 1 wall kit WLAKIT, 1 rope WLA
- Multi-span (length over 15 m and max. 60 m): 2 end points, 1 intermediate point every 15 m max. for the full length of the line, 1 wall kit WLAKIT, 1 rope WLA
Suitable for max. 3 operators simultaneously, equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE); in the event of a fall, individual PPE must not generate a load of more than 6 kN
Also suitable for use in clamping
Suitable for anchoring lines deviating from the horizontal by no more than 15°
Warranty:
10 years for materials (from the date of purchase)
Drop data:
Drop values (arrow, pull and pull angle) vary depending on anchor point and anchor line length. Drop values can be requested at the email address: linea.vita@wuerth.it
Anchorage to the load-bearing structure:
The surface must be assessed and the anchor must be sized by a qualified technician. The suitability of the surface for absorbing the stress exerted by the falling operator must always be tested (see standard UNI 11560:2022)
Certifications:
The anchoring line has undergone the tests required by standard UNI 11578:2015 and is compliant with type C. The ideal number of operators for using this device is stated in the catalogue. The certification will no longer be valid if the product is disassembled, altered, modified or improperly installed. Certifications can be downloaded from the website: www.wuerth.it/progettisti/prodotti/linea-vita/
Regular inspection:
The anchoring system is subject to regular mandatory inspection at intervals of no more than 2 years, as required by Point 9.2.3. of standard UNI 11560:2022. The regular inspections must be performed by the intermediate installer and/or qualified technician, always assuming liability for the activity undertaken. The checks to be performed refer to the table 1, 2 and 3 of UNI 11560:2022
Further information:
Please refer to the information pages, the installation and operation manual and the handbook for the system supplied with the products. These documents can be downloaded from the website: www.wuerth.it/progettisti/prodotti/linea-vita/

The mounting instructions are based on criteria similar to those used for the certification testing operations on structural steel parts, and should not replace structural load testing, which must be carried out by an authorised designer. It is the responsibility of the designer to ensure that the installation conditions are appropriate for the types of base material indicated above
