Ascent™ Fall Protection Post Weathering Cap
The weathering cap for
fall protection posts sits
over the top of the post
forming a “lid” to assist in
the weatherproofing of the
building.
Use of the Ascent weathering cap
Following the initial installation of the Ascent fall
protection posts, the roofing contractor will then
install the roof covering which he will dress up
the Ascent post. The weathering cap will then be
installed by the fall protection installer company
as he wires up his system. The cap is secured in
place with the set screw, fitted with both a Nylon &
Neoprene washer used to secure the fall protection
system top component.
