Elk River has manufactured fall protection equipment in Roanoke, Virginia since 1966 — the NoPac and Flex-NoPac lines are trusted on commercial construction, bridge work, tower climbing, and industrial maintenance job sites across North America. Model \u003cstrong\u003e35477\u003c\/strong\u003e features 6 ft fixed length with 1-1\/2 in. polyester web and Elk River's proprietary Z-hardware connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Z-snap and Z-rebar hook system uses a double-locking mechanism engineered to prevent accidental opening during normal work movements — the gate requires two deliberate actions to open, exceeding OSHA's self-closing, self-locking requirement under 1926.502(d)(2)(vi). 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#ff9800;\"\u003eSpecifications — 35477\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;background:#222;margin:12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"color:#ff9800;padding:10px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #444;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"color:#ff9800;padding:10px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #444;\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003e35477\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eBrand \/ Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eElk River Flex-NoPac\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eLegs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eSingle-Leg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003e6 ft fixed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eWeb Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003e1-1\/2 in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eHarness Connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eZ-Snap Hook\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eAnchor Connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eZ-Rebar Hook\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eGate Strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003e3,600 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eWeight Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003e130–310 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eOSHA Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003e29 CFR 1926.502(d)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eANSI Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eANSI Z359.13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eAmazon ASIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:9px;border:1px solid #333;\"\u003eB005FMQ5A2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#ff9800;\"\u003eElk River Z-Hardware — Snap Hook vs. Rebar Hook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElk River's Z-hook system includes two primary connector styles: the Z-snaphook and the Z-rebarhook.

The Z-rebarhook is specifically designed to grip vertical and horizontal rebar, scaffold pipe, and structural members where a snap hook cannot properly seat — the hook's geometry wraps securely around round stock without the risk of roll-out that can occur with standard snap hooks on non-flat surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#ff9800;\"\u003eShop Elk River Lanyards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/products\/elk-river-35416-flex-nopac-twin-leg-shock-absorbing-lanyard\" style=\"color:#4fc3f7;\"\u003eElk River 35416 Flex-NoPac Twin-Leg Shock Absorbing Lanyard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/products\/elk-river-35487-flex-nopac-adjustable-twin-leg-shock-absorbing-lanyard\" style=\"color:#4fc3f7;\"\u003eElk River 35487 Flex-NoPac Adjustable Twin-Leg Shock Absorbing Lanyard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/products\/elk-river-35417-flex-nopac-adjustable-twin-leg-carabiner-lanyard\" style=\"color:#4fc3f7;\"\u003eElk River 35417 Flex-NoPac Adjustable Twin-Leg Carabiner Lanyard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/products\/elk-river-35488-flex-nopac-twin-leg-aluminum-rebar-shock-absorbing-lanyard\" style=\"color:#4fc3f7;\"\u003eElk River 35488 Flex-NoPac Twin-Leg Aluminum Rebar Shock Absorbing Lanyard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/products\/elk-river-35374-nopac-energy-absorbing-rebar-hook-lanyard\" style=\"color:#4fc3f7;\"\u003eElk River 35374 NoPac Energy-Absorbing Rebar Hook Lanyard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/collections\/lanyards\" style=\"color:#4fc3f7;\"\u003eBrowse All Lanyards — WC Safety\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#ff9800;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#252525;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ff9800;\"\u003eQ: What is the difference between the NoPac and Flex-NoPac series?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\"\u003eThe Flex-NoPac series uses elastic (bungee-style) polyester web that retracts to roughly half-length at rest, keeping the lanyard close to the body and reducing tripping hazards. Standard NoPac lanyards use non-elastic web and remain at their full length at rest. Both series use Elk River's Z-hook connectors and NoPac shock absorber, and both meet OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13 requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#252525;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ff9800;\"\u003eQ: What does the Z-rebar hook lock onto that a snap hook cannot?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\"\u003eThe Z-rebar hook is designed for round stock and cylindrical members — vertical rebar in concrete work, horizontal scaffold pipe, and structural tubing. Standard snap hooks can \"roll out\" from round stock under certain load angles, which is why OSHA 1926.502(d)(2)(vi) requires self-closing and self-locking connectors. The Z-rebar hook's captive geometry prevents roll-out on round members where a snap hook's gate may contact the round surface improperly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#252525;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ff9800;\"\u003eQ: How does the NoPac shock absorber work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\"\u003eThe NoPac shock absorber is a compact energy-absorbing pack containing a specially stitched sleeve of webbing. During a fall, the stitching tears in a controlled pattern, extending the deceleration time and limiting peak arrest force to below 900 lb (meeting ANSI Z359.13). Once the pack deploys, it is spent — the lanyard must be immediately removed from service regardless of whether any visible damage is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#252525;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ff9800;\"\u003eQ: Can the Elk River Flex-NoPac be used for 100% tie-off?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\"\u003eOnly the twin-leg models (35416, 35487, 35417, 35488) support 100% tie-off. Single-leg models (35477, 35374) provide fall arrest but do not allow the worker to remain clipped to two anchors simultaneously. For ironwork, scaffold erection, and other tasks requiring 100% tie-off per OSHA 1926.502(d) and ANSI Z359.13, select a twin-leg model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#252525;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#ff9800;\"\u003eQ: Is Elk River a US manufacturer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\"\u003eYes. Elk River has manufactured fall protection equipment in Roanoke, Virginia since 1966. The NoPac and Flex-NoPac lanyards are engineered and assembled in the USA using domestic and imported components.
