" Lanyards " as in positioning lanyards ? or what I assume you mean fall
arrest safety lanyards ?
The Fall arrest safety lanyard hopefully has a safety hook with a minimum
throat opening of 2 1/2 in. The will fit main virtual tubes from Rohn 25G is
5/16 DI Z brace rod !!! 45 & 55 are 7/16 , better but still iffy 65G is 5/8
better and IMHO would not fail with the 200 lb @ 6 ft shock force but I still
use the side rail :)
IMHO the Z rung is not a place to attach your life line, BTW not a place to
secure you positioning lanyard . My. 02 I am sure that someone from out
fraternity has there slide rule out and can explain the moments generated and
the shear properties of the rod OD
