Safey Tie Back Anchor Boatswains Chair

This Revit family provides a tie-back anchor for boatswain's chair systems, designed for facade maintenance and window cleaning safety. The Safey tie-back anchor is a robust, utilitarian hardware component engineered for secure facade access. It features a cylindrical body with an integrated, arched metal loop designed to accommodate safety lines for boatswain's chairs or other rope-access maintenance equipment. The geometry is clean and simplified, prioritising functional clarity for BIM documentation. It is constructed from heavy-duty metal, suggesting the high-tensile strength required for load-bearing safety applications. The form is compact and designed for flush or surface-mounted installation on building envelopes, ensuring that maintenance access points are clearly indicated within the project's structural and architectural BIM models.

The download is a 195 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family functions as a host-based component for detailed coordination of facade maintenance systems. Load the RFA into your project and place it on vertical surfaces or structural elements where fall protection or maintenance anchors are required. Because it is a detail-oriented family, ensure it is assigned to the appropriate sub-category for visibility control. Use it to verify clearance and placement constraints relative to window systems and building cladding, maintaining consistency across your documentation sets.
