Deceleration Unit:
Overlapped nylon webbing is heavily cross-stitched
together with nylon thread and sewn into a protective break-away jacket for optimal
fall-arrest impact reduction.
Progressive tearing away of nylon stitching absorbs most of a fall-arrest
impact.
A fully released deceleration unit extends the original length of a lanyard by a
total of 3.5 ft. (1.1 m) and virtually eliminates rebound.
Deceleration units are available separately or with
permanently attached lanyards made of nylon rope, aircraft cable, or nylon webbing.
All Klein deceleration units are certified and compliant with ANSI and CSA
requirements.
On Klein deceleration units, a red warning label stitched to the overlapped nylon
webbing inside the protective break-away jacket will identify a used lanyard and
direct the disposal of the unit.
WARNING: Deceleration units are designed solely for use in fall-arrest
systems.
| Nylon Webbing |
| Exposure to Excessive Heat |
Poor resistance. Becomes brittle, has a
shriveled brown appearance. Fibers will break when flexed. Weakens at 300F
(149C). |
| Exposure to Chemicals |
Generally good resistance, except around strong
acids and phenolic compounds (phenol is present in coal tar and wood tar),
which cause it to become brittle. |
| Exposure to Molten Metal or Flame |
Poor resistance. Strands fuse together and form
hard, shiny spots. Has hard and brittle feel. Will not support
combustion. |
| Exposure to Paints or Solvents |
Generally offers good resistance. However,
paint can penetrate into the weave and dry. This can cause webbing to
become hard and brittle and can eventually break the fibers. Some solvents
may affect fibers (see "Exposure to Chemicals"). |
| Exposure near Live Electrical Lines and
Equipment |
Poor protection (no dielectric strength).
Provides no protection to exposure to live electrical lines or
equipment. |
When using any Klein Occupational Safety Equipment,
always follow the A-B-C
rule.

Decelaration Unit with Dual
Nylon-Webbing Lanyard
 |
Features:
- Designed for use in 100% tie-off
fall-arrest systems. Allows attachment to a new fall-arrest anchorage
with one lanyard leg, while staying connected to the original
fall-arrest anchorage with the remaining lanyard leg.
- Deceleration unit is attached to two
1" (25 mm) orange nylon-webbing lanyards impregnated with resin
for greater durability and abrasion resistance.
- Nylon-webbing lanyards are ideal for
situations where the worker is often turning or moving around
(webbing will not reverse-twist [hockIe]).
- Equipped with three drop-forged steel,
corrosion-resistant Klein-Lok locking snap-hooks with 11/16"
(17mm) throat opening.
- Designed solely for use in fall-arrest
systems.
