3M Protecta PRO D-Ring Extension 1.5 ft Grey Fall Arrest Kit

Description

Product Overview

The 3M Protecta PRO D Ring Extension is engineered to provide a reliable, 1.5‑foot (0.46 m) increase in reach for fall arrest harnesses used across a wide range of industrial applications. Constructed from abrasion‑resistant polyester webbing, the extension offers a balance of strength and flexibility that resists wear in harsh environments while remaining lightweight enough for daily wear. One end of the extension terminates in a robust D‑ring, delivering a high‑strength tie‑off point that meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.1 standards for fall protection equipment. The opposite end features a self‑locking snap hook, designed to engage quickly and securely without the need for additional tools, reducing the time workers spend adjusting their safety gear. The product dimensions of 9 × 6 × 1 inches and a weight of 1.64 lb make it easy to store in toolboxes or attach directly to a harness without adding bulk. With a model number of 1385000 and a neutral grey color, the extension integrates seamlessly with most 3M and third‑party harness systems, ensuring compatibility and consistent performance on the job site.

Usage

This extension is intended for industrial and occupational use only, making it an essential component for workers who operate at height on construction sites, roofing projects, maintenance of elevated structures, and utility installations. By extending the dorsal harness D‑ring or an overhead anchor point, the extension allows users to maintain a comfortable working posture while still adhering to fall‑arrest protocols. The self‑locking snap hook provides a quick‑connect solution for scenarios where time is critical, such as emergency rescues or rapid repositioning on scaffolding. The extension’s durable webbing and reinforced stitching are designed to withstand exposure to chemicals, UV radiation, and abrasive surfaces, ensuring a long service life even in the most demanding conditions. When paired with a compatible full‑body harness, the extension enhances overall system flexibility, enabling workers to reach higher anchor points without compromising safety.
