FallTech 836616 16-Inch D Ring Extension Lanyard with Snap Hook

A 16-inch d ring extension lanyard that clips to an existing D-ring — FallTech 836616

When the D-ring you need to reach already exists but sits somewhere awkward, a d ring extension lanyard is the simplest fix. The FallTech 836616 is a 16 inch webbing extension with a snap hook at one end — clip it onto your existing D-ring — and a fresh D-ring at the other end for your lanyard, SRL, or rope grab connector.

Shoppers searching a d ring extension strap that clips rather than wraps, or a harness d ring extender and safety harness extender for extra reach, land on the 836616.

Pros & cons

Specifications

What this extension is for

Bringing an existing D-ring — a harness's dorsal D-ring or an installed anchor point — within easier reach without wrapping new structure or swapping harnesses. It sits in our D-ring extenders guide, forms the connector link described in the fall protection equipment guide, and pairs with a lanyard from our fall protection lanyards guide and a harness from the full body harness collection, including FallTech's own 7015 contractor harness and 7007 FT Basic.

Compatibility

The snap hook end clips onto any standard rated D-ring; the far D-ring end takes a connector such as the Petzl Bm’D carabiner, the 3M DBI-SALA Saflok, or the Petzl EASHOOK open connector. Confirm your harness or anchor's D-ring style and rated capacity before ordering.

How this extension compares

For a version that wraps around a beam or post instead of clipping to an existing D-ring, see the sibling FallTech 8366L choking loop extender or the plain FallTech 8366. For a 3M dorsal D-ring extension instead, compare the 3M Protecta 1385000, the 3M DBI-SALA 1231117, or the KwikSafety Dolphin extender. Every connector and extension in stock is in the carabiners & connectors collection, harness selection is covered in our best safety harness guide, and the full field lives in the fall protection collection.

Safety note: a D-ring extension lanyard is one component of a personal fall arrest system — it must be paired with a properly fitted full body harness, a rated lanyard or lifeline, and a rated anchor meeting OSHA 1926.502. Recalculate fall clearance with the extension's length included, inspect the snap hook and D-ring before every use, and retire it after any fall arrest.

Ordering FAQ

Is the FallTech 836616 in stock and ready to ship?
Yes — this listing is active and ships through Amazon. Open the linked listing for live price, availability, and delivery speed.

How long is this extension?
16 inches — the fixed length of this listing.

What's at each end?
A snap hook at one end for clipping onto an existing D-ring, and a D-ring at the other end for connecting your lanyard, SRL, or rope grab.

How is this different from the FallTech 8366L choking loop version?
Both are FallTech D-ring extenders; this 836616 is 16 inches with a snap hook that clips to an existing D-ring, while the 8366L is 18 inches with a choking loop for wrapping around a beam or post instead.

Does this need an existing D-ring to attach to?
Yes — the snap hook end clips onto a D-ring that’s already present, such as your harness’s dorsal D-ring or an installed anchor point. It doesn’t create a new anchor the way a choking loop does.

What connects to the far D-ring end?
A lanyard, SRL, or rope grab connector with hardware rated for this D-ring’s opening and capacity — check your connecting device’s listing for compatibility.

Is this compatible with any harness?
It clips to any standard D-ring via its snap hook — confirm your harness’s D-ring style and rated capacity are compatible before ordering.

Why would I need a D-ring extension lanyard instead of a longer lanyard?
An extension keeps your existing lanyard or SRL unchanged while just adding reach at the D-ring end — useful when the lanyard itself is the right length but the D-ring position isn’t.

Is this OSHA compliant?
As a connector it forms part of a compliant rig when paired with a rated harness, lanyard or lifeline, and anchor under OSHA 1926.502 — the extension itself is one link in that chain.

How do I inspect it before use?
Check the webbing for cuts, fraying, UV damage, or chemical staining, confirm the snap hook gate opens, closes, and locks fully, and check the D-ring for deformation or wear. Retire after any fall arrest.

Does this affect my fall clearance calculation?
Yes — any added length between the anchor and the worker reduces available clearance. Recalculate your fall clearance with this extension’s length included before relying on it.

How do I reorder for a crew?
Reorder from this page — the listing and its linked Amazon ASIN stay constant, so equipping every harness or anchor point that needs it takes seconds.
