The Elk River 35477 is a single-leg energy-absorbing lanyard from Elk River's Flex-NoPac series whose elastic bungee web retracts to roughly half length at rest to keep the lanyard out of the way, while its Z-rebar hook locks positively on rebar and pipe. Made in Roanoke, Virginia, it meets OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13, with a 6-ft full length, a 1-1/2-inch web, double-locking Z-hardware, a 3,600-lb gate strength, and a 130 to 310 lb capacity.

Why the Elk River 35477 stays out from underfoot
A fixed single-leg lanyard dangles when you work close to the anchor, snagging and underfoot as a trip hazard. The 35477's Flex-NoPac elastic web acts like a bungee, retracting to roughly half length at rest so the lanyard stays close to the body — then extends to its full 6 ft if a fall occurs. Its Z-rebar hook locks positively on rebar and pipe without a secondary latch press, and it keeps the 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 tidy rebar-hook pick, and the best fall protection lanyards guide and fall protection equipment guide cover how the pieces fit. It keeps the connection tidy on rebar.
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 an anchor rated for at least 5,000 lb per OSHA 1926.502(d)(15). The elastic reduces tripping at rest but does not reduce fall distance: calculate fall clearance from the full 6-ft extended length, plus 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 the lanyard after any fall. Confirm requirements with the OSHA 1926 fall protection guide.
What the Elk River 35477 listing documents
From the published specs: a single-leg design; an elastic bungee web retracting to ~half length at rest with a full 6-ft length; a Z-rebar hook; a center Z-snap hook; a 3,600-lb gate strength; 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 elastic lanyard credentials and a genuine rebar hook lanyard — a tidy shock absorbing lanyard for concrete work.
How the Elk River 35477 compares to other lanyards
For the non-elastic single-leg rebar hook, the Elk River 35374 NoPac; for an elastic 3M version, the 3M Protecta PRO Stretch; for the adjustable twin-leg rebar, the Elk River 35487; for aluminum rebar hooks, the Elk River 35488; and for an easy-inspect single-leg, the FallTech ViewPack or internal Guardian 11200. 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 35477 suits rebar, concrete, and bridge crews who want a single-leg rebar-hook lanyard that stays out from underfoot near the anchor — compare tool-lanyard options in the tool lanyards collection for dropped-object control. Size fall clearance to the full extended length, 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 35477?
A single-leg energy-absorbing lanyard from Elk River's Flex-NoPac series with an elastic bungee web and a Z-rebar hook. It meets OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13, with a 6-ft full length, a 1-1/2-inch web, and a 130 to 310 lb capacity.
What does the elastic web do?
The Flex-NoPac elastic web acts like a bungee, retracting to roughly half length when not loaded so the lanyard stays close to the body and out from underfoot - reducing trip and snag hazards near the anchor.
Does the elastic reduce fall distance?
No - the elastic reduces slack and tripping at rest, but the lanyard extends to its full 6-ft length during a fall. Calculate fall clearance from the full extended length, not the retracted length.
What is the Z-rebar hook?
The Z-rebar hook locks positively on rebar and pipe without requiring a secondary latch press, using a double-locking gate that requires two deliberate actions to open, exceeding OSHA's self-locking requirement under 1926.502(d)(2)(vi).
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 absorber to perform as designed.
How is it different from the 35374 NoPac?
Both are Elk River single-leg rebar-hook lanyards; the 35477 Flex-NoPac adds an elastic bungee web that retracts at rest to reduce trip hazards, while the 35374 NoPac is a non-elastic web. Choose the 35477 to keep the lanyard tidy near the anchor.
What harness and anchor do I need?
Connect the Z-snap hook to the dorsal D-ring of a compatible ANSI Z359.11 full-body harness and the Z-rebar hook 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 based on the full 6-ft extended length, the deployed absorber length, D-ring height, and a safety factor. Size the clearance to the full length, not the retracted length.
What work is it for?
Rebar and concrete work, commercial construction, bridge work, and industrial maintenance where a single-leg rebar-hook lanyard that stays out of the way improves both safety and mobility.
When must it be retired?
Retire the lanyard immediately after it arrests a fall - the absorber is spent - or if the elastic 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.
