WHAT IT TAKES TO BE
THALER OR EQUAL
When specifications read Thaler or Equal, it is the responsibility of specifiers and building owners to determine what it means to be “Or
Equal”. The following data has been presented to quickly help assess the comparative merits of “competitive” products. Thaler Horizontal
Lifeline products have a number of Value Added features that should be considered when trying to equate the “Or Equal”.
CHECK THE THALER VALUE

COMPETITION ADDED FEATURES
Provides unique fall protection; new in-line Thaler Energy Absorber (TEA) assists in reducing or dissipating fall
arrest forces should users experience a fall, thereby lessening Maximum Arrest Force (MAF) the shortduration,
dynamic peak force acting for 5 to 10 milliseconds on a falling body during fall arrest.
Protects up to 4 workers simultaneously; depending on anchor spacing, and number of shuttle runners
provided, Thaler “EASY SLIDER” is designed to protect up to 4 workers from falling, on same system.
Superior cable composition; 3/8” (10 mm) diameter Type 304 stainless steel, 7 x 19 structure provides
unlimited line strength, added strength, and extra margin of safety.
Added anchor strength; all anchor posts are designed to resist without fracture a pullout force of 5400 lbs
(24.02 kN), applied in the most adverse direction.
Specify any angle for corners; in addition to common corner angles such as 45°, 90°, 135°, any angle in 1°
increments way be specified without additional cost.
Cost advantage to building owner; most Thaler “EASY SLIDER” system components are fabricated in-house
thereby eliminating middle-man suppliers which can result in significant savings. “EASY SLIDER” is one of the
most cost-efficient horizontal lifeline systems on the market. Be sure to obtain accurate cost data before making
specifying decision.
“EASY SLIDER” means hands free movement; users travel full length of horizontal lifeline without disconnect-
ing while having both hands free.
Aesthetically pleasing flashing; pre-formed Thaler STACK JACK flashing used with roof anchor posts are
arguably the best , most reliable, maintenance-free flashing product on the market today. The STACK JACK relies
on memory in the EPDM seals to prevent leaks from above and condensation from below (air barrier design). See
Thaler STACK JACK flashing literature (Section A of manual), or Thaler EPDM Flashing Seals literature.
Long distance between supports; a single line horizontal lifeline system such as the Thaler K-703 “EASY
SLIDER” reduces the number of roof penetrations by providing up to 80’-0” (24.4 m) distance between supports
using a double TEA (Thaler Energy Absorber) in the horizontal cable, or 60’-0” (18.3 m) distance using single TEA.
Maintenance-Free; except for occasional wiping of any dirt that has accumulated on the stainless steel horizon-
tal cable, and annual inspection (by others), the “EASY SLIDER” requires no maintenance. In addition the STACK
JACK flashing used for the anchor posts is simply and cleanly installed without messy vaulking seals.
20 year Warranty; guaranteed against leaks and defects in materials and/or manufacture when installed in
accordance with Thaler "Installation Instructions".
Written "Installation Instructions"; provided with every Thaler product.

INTRODUCTION THE CONCEPT OF FALL PROTECTION
A fall from elevation (the uncontrolled drop from one level to Can anyone know if a serious or fatal fall will occur in
another) is similar to winning the lottery. You never know the first few seconds of a worker’s career or 30 years later
when it is going to happen. in the last few seconds? Professionally, any safety approach
must assume the first few seconds, and building owners or

Fall protection can be profitable. At present, the losses in

similar locations.

general contractors, and building owners shouldn't be tak-

Protection is required to keep workers from striking objects
over a certain fall distance and to avoid pendulum swing,
crushing and forseable impact with any part of the body to
which injury could occur.
The objective of elevated fall protection is to convert the haz-

ard to a slip or minor fall at the very worst - a fall from
which, hopefully, no injury occurs.

minimum 9” (229 mm) above roof surface.
3.02 PREPARATION
Note: The following clauses apply to re-roofing or retrofit installations only.
A. For re-roofing or retrofit work, remove existing roof assembly as necessary to allow for installation of roof anchors.
B. In the event of structural deficiencies, deck corrosion or deterioration, ensure that a structural engineer has assessed and approved all
surfaces upon which the work of this Section depends. Institute repairs and/or reinforcement where necessary.
C. If necessary, protect building interior and contents against ingression of water, dust, debris or other material.

seal with asphalt sealer. Do not overheat (melt) EPDM Base Seal.
Single Ply
4. Set deck flange in layer of membrane adhesive and extend single ply up sleeve to highest elevation possible and clamp membrane to STACK JACK
Flashing.
Note: For PVC membrane, specify PVC coated flashing; weld roofing to deck flange using PVC torch
PVC Single Ply

5. Set deck flange in layer of membrane adhesive and extend single ply up sleeve to highest elevation possible and clamp membrane to
flashing. Weld roofing to deck flange using PVC torch.
6. Structural adequacy of [roof][wall][soffit] or other part of the building on which the support system is placed shall be verified by a
professional engineer before installing horizontal lifeline.
3.04 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

B. All anchor work to be inspected by a qualified testing agency, Professional Engineer [and Roof Consultant] upon completion of work.
Note: Field testing of roof, wall or overhead anchor products is not required. Only the field testing of adhesive fasteners is required. In
rare instances where adhesive fasteners must be tested after roof anchors have been roofed in, consult a Professional Engineer for
calculation of the load requirement prior to testing.
3.05 ADJUSTING AND FINAL INSPECTION
A. Verify that all manufactured units have been installed in accordance with specifications and details, and will function as intended.
