Malta Dynamics P-00149-3 Intermediate By-Pass Adaptor | Canada
HLL INTERMEDIATE BY-PASSFOR MD POST SYSTEMSMODEL P-00149-3
The Malta Dynamics P-00149-3 adds to any MD post so a worker keeps moving along an I-beam or concrete beam without unclipping. It holds the horizontal cable in place and lets the lanyard's snap hook pass through the adaptor while staying connected to the lifeline. Malta recommends it where there is little clearance between the walking surface and the obstruction below, usually the ground, because the extra support also reduces cable sag.

How to use the P-00149-3 adaptor on an intermediate MD post
Install the adaptor on each intermediate MD post along the cable run, following Malta's instructions, so the cable is supported at every post. The worker's lanyard snap hook rides through the adaptor as they move along the beam, keeping them tied off the whole way. Use it with the P-00147-60 cable assembly and P-00039-1 in-line shock absorber as part of a complete MD post lifeline, and have a competent person verify the layout.
