The Elk River Flex-NoPac Twin-Leg 35416 is a Y-leg energy-absorbing lanyard with large-opening aluminum carabiners on each leg for 100% tie-off, so ironworkers and scaffold erectors stay clipped through anchor transitions. Made in Roanoke, Virginia, it meets OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13, with a 6-ft fixed length, a 1-1/2-inch web, a center Z-snap hook, double-locking Z-hardware, a 3,600-lb gate strength, and a 130 to 310 lb capacity.

Why the Elk River Flex-NoPac Twin-Leg suits steel and scaffold
Ironworkers and scaffold erectors clip to beams, tube, and structural members — not rebar — and they can never be off the structure while they move. The 35416 answers both: a twin-leg design for continuous 100% tie-off, and large-opening aluminum carabiners on each leg that swallow bigger members while staying lighter than steel. It keeps Elk River's double-locking Z-hardware, a 3,600-lb gate strength, and the NoPac absorber holding arrest force to 900 lb or less. As lanyards go, this is the structural-steel tie-off pick, and the best fall protection lanyards guide and fall protection equipment guide cover how the pieces fit. It keeps you connected on steel.
Safety first: this lanyard is only one component of a complete personal fall arrest system — pair it with a compatible ANSI Z359.11 full-body harness at the dorsal D-ring and anchors rated for at least 5,000 lb per OSHA 1926.502(d)(15). The twin legs give continuous connection and the double-locking hooks exceed OSHA's self-locking requirement, but you still must calculate fall clearance: free fall, the deployed absorber length, D-ring height, and a safety factor. Capacity is 130 to 310 lb and arrest force is held to 900 lb or less. Retire it after any fall. Confirm requirements with the OSHA 1926 fall protection guide.
What the Elk River Flex-NoPac Twin-Leg listing documents
From the published specs: a twin-leg (Y-leg) design; large-opening aluminum carabiners on each leg; a center Z-snap hook; a 3,600-lb gate strength; a 6-ft fixed length; a 1-1/2-inch polyester web; a NoPac absorber at or below 900 lb; a 130 to 310 lb capacity; and OSHA 1926.502 / ANSI Z359.13 compliance. These are true twin leg lanyard credentials and a genuine aluminum carabiner lanyard — a structural-steel 100% tie-off lanyard.
How the Elk River Flex-NoPac Twin-Leg compares to other lanyards
For the aluminum-rebar-hook version, the Elk River Flex-NoPac Aluminum Rebar; for the slim single-leg, the Elk River NoPac; for other 100% tie-off, the FallTech Ironman, 3M Protecta PRO Twin-Leg, or Guardian 01230; 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, the lanyards and lifelines collection, plus self-retracting lifelines span every category.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The 35416 suits ironworkers, scaffold erectors, and bridge crews who anchor to structural steel and want lighter, wide-opening carabiners — compare tool-lanyard options in the tool lanyards collection for dropped-object control. Keep the weight in range, verify each anchor, and retire the lanyard after any fall. For crew orders, quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account — 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 Flex-NoPac Twin-Leg 35416?
A twin-leg (Y-leg) energy-absorbing lanyard from Elk River's Flex-NoPac series with large-opening aluminum carabiners on each leg. It meets OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13, with a 6-ft fixed length, 1-1/2-inch web, and a 130 to 310 lb capacity.
Why aluminum carabiners on each leg?
The large-opening aluminum carabiners are lighter than steel and open wide enough to clip larger structural members, beams, and scaffold tube - suiting ironworkers and scaffold erectors who anchor to structure rather than rebar.
What is 100% tie-off?
With the twin-leg design, one leg stays clipped to the current anchor while you move the other to the next anchor before releasing the first - so you are never disconnected while moving on structure and steel.
How is it different from the 35488 aluminum rebar version?
Both are Flex-NoPac twin-leg lanyards; the 35416 uses large-opening aluminum carabiners for structural steel and scaffold, while the 35488 uses aluminum rebar hooks for concrete rebar work. Choose by what you clip to.
What is the double-locking hardware?
The center Z-snap hook uses a double-locking gate that requires two deliberate actions to open, exceeding OSHA's self-closing, self-locking requirement under 1926.502(d)(2)(vi) and reducing accidental rollout.
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 both 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 center Z-snap hook to the dorsal D-ring of a compatible ANSI Z359.11 full-body harness and each aluminum carabiner to a certified anchor or structural member. The lanyard alone is not a complete system.
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. The clearance math applies to whichever leg arrests the fall.
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.
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.
