Werner Co. snap hooks and carabiners should NOT be
connected
i. to a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
ii. in a manner that would result in a load on the gate. If the
connecting element that a snaphook or carabiner attaches
to is undersized or irregular in shape, a situation could occur
where the connecting element applies a force to the gate of
the snaphook or carabiner. This force may cause the gate
(of either a self-locking or a non-locking snaphook) to open,
allowing the snaphook or carabiner to disengage from the
connecting point
NOTE: Large throat opening snap hooks should not be
connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects which
will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists
or rotates. Large throat snap hooks are designed for use on
ixed structural elements such as rebar or cross members
that are not shaped in a way that can capture the gate of
the hook.
iii. in a false engagement, where features that protrude from
the snap hook or carabiner catch on the anchor and without
visual conirmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor
point.
iv. to each other.
v. directly to webbing or rope lanyard or tie-back (unless
the manufacturer's instructions for both the lanyard and
connector speciically allow such a connection).
