Editorial assessment by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor, based on published Elk River specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The Elk River NoPac 35374 is a slim single-leg energy-absorbing lanyard with a 1-1/4-inch web and double-locking Z-rebar hardware, OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13 compliant. The Z-hook gate requires two deliberate actions to open, exceeding OSHA's self-closing, self-locking requirement, and the shock absorber limits arrest force to 900 lb or less for workers up to 310 lb.

Why the Elk River NoPac stays slim and secure
A rebar hook that opens too easily is a rollout risk, and a bulky lanyard is a nuisance β the NoPac addresses both. Its Z-snap and Z-rebar hardware uses a double-locking gate that takes two deliberate actions to open, exceeding OSHA's self-closing, self-locking requirement under 1926.502(d)(2)(vi), while the slim 1-1/4-inch web keeps it lighter and lower-profile than the 1.5-inch Flex-NoPac. The NoPac shock absorber holds arrest force to 900 lb or less per ANSI Z359.13, all from an American maker building fall protection in Roanoke since 1966. As lanyards go, this is the slim secure-hook pick, and the best fall protection lanyards guide and fall protection equipment guide cover how the pieces fit. It is a lightweight lanyard that does not skimp on the hook.
Safety first: this lanyard is only one component of a complete personal fall arrest system β pair it with a compatible ANSI Z359.11 full-body harness at the dorsal D-ring and an anchor rated for at least 5,000 lb. The double-locking hook exceeds OSHA's self-closing, self-locking requirement, but you still must calculate fall clearance: free fall, the deployed absorber length, D-ring height, and a safety factor. It is rated to 310 lb combined weight and limits arrest force to 900 lb or less. Retire it after any fall, and confirm requirements with the OSHA 1926 fall protection guide.
What the Elk River NoPac listing documents
From the published specs: a single-leg design; a slim 1-1/4-inch polyester web; double-locking Z-snap and Z-rebar hardware; a NoPac shock absorber at or below 900 lb; a 310 lb capacity; and OSHA 1926.502 / ANSI Z359.13 compliance. These are true rebar hook lanyard credentials and a genuine single leg lanyard β a slim energy absorbing lanyard with secure hardware.
How the Elk River NoPac compares to other lanyards
For a heavier twin-leg with rebar hooks, the FallTech Ironman or 3M Protecta PRO Twin-Leg; for other single-leg options, the internal Guardian 11200 or external Guardian 01220; for tie-back, the FallTech WrapTech or 3M Protecta PRO Tie-Back; and for a premium Y-leg, the Petzl Absorbica Y. The safety harness guide pairs the harness.
Building a complete fall arrest system
A lanyard is one of three parts. For the harness, the full-body harnesses collection; for anchors, the anchor points collection and roof anchors guide; for complete sets, the fall protection kits collection and kits guide; and the full fall protection collection plus self-retracting lifelines span every category.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The NoPac suits concrete, rebar, bridge, and tower crews who want a slim, lightweight lanyard with a secure double-locking hook β compare tool-lanyard options in the tool lanyards collection for dropped-object control. Keep the worker-plus-tools weight in range, verify the anchor, and retire the lanyard after any fall. For crew orders, quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account β volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations, with the walkthrough linked in our footer.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Elk River NoPac 35374?
A slim single-leg energy-absorbing lanyard with a 1-1/4-inch web and double-locking Z-rebar hardware, from Elk River's NoPac series. It is OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13 compliant, rated for workers up to 310 lb.
Why the slim 1.25-inch web?
The NoPac's 1-1/4-inch width is slightly slimmer and lighter than the 1.5-inch Flex-NoPac, a preferred choice for workers who want a lower-profile lanyard that still provides full OSHA-compliant fall arrest.
What is the double-locking Z-hook?
The Z-snap and Z-rebar hook system uses a double-locking mechanism that requires two deliberate actions to open the gate - exceeding OSHA's self-closing, self-locking requirement under 1926.502(d)(2)(vi) and reducing the risk of accidental rollout.
What are rebar hooks for?
The large-opening Z-rebar hook clips over reinforcing bar, scaffolding, and structural members that a standard snap hook will not fit, which is why it is common on concrete and construction work.
What is the arrest force?
The NoPac shock absorber is rated to limit maximum arresting force to 900 lb or less, meeting ANSI Z359.13 requirements for workers up to 310 lb, protecting the worker and the anchor during a fall.
What is the capacity?
It is rated for workers up to 310 lb, which should include the combined weight of the worker plus tools and equipment for the shock absorber to perform as designed.
What harness and anchor do I need?
Connect the Z-snap hook to the dorsal D-ring of a compatible full-body harness and the Z-rebar hook to a certified anchor. The lanyard alone is not a complete system; the anchor must be rated and compatible.
How much fall clearance do I need?
Calculate total fall clearance before work: free fall, the deployed shock-absorber length, D-ring height, and a safety factor. Too little clearance risks striking a lower level before arrest.
Where is it made?
Elk River has manufactured fall protection in Roanoke, Virginia since 1966, and the NoPac and Flex-NoPac lines are used on commercial construction, bridge work, tower climbing, and industrial maintenance across North America.
When must it be retired?
Retire the lanyard immediately after it arrests a fall - the shock absorber is spent - or if the webbing, stitching, or hardware shows cuts, burns, corrosion, or deformation. Inspect before every use.
What work is it for?
Commercial construction, concrete and rebar work, bridge work, and tower climbing where a slim, lightweight single-leg lanyard with a secure rebar hook suits the task.
How do I order for a crew?
Quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account - volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations. The bulk-ordering walkthrough is linked in our site footer.
