What it takes to be "Thaler or Equal"
When specifications read Thaler or Equal, it is the responsibility of specifiers and building owners to determine what it means to be “Or Equal”. The following data has been presented to quickly help assess the comparative merits of “competitive” products. Thaler Horizontal Lifeline products products have a number of Value Added features that should be considered when trying to equate the “Or Equal”.

Added Features
Provides uniqe fall protection; new in-line Thaler Energy Absorber (TEA) assists in reducing or dissipating fall arrest forces should users experience a fall, thereby lessening Maximum Arrest Force (MAF) the short duration, dynamic peak force acting for 5 to 10 milliseconds on a falling body during fall arrest.
Protects up to 4 workers simultaneously; depending on anchor spacing, and number of shuttle runners provided, “Easy Slider” is designed to protect up to 4 workers from falling, on same system.
Superior cable composition; 3/8” (10 mm) diameter 304 stainless steel, 7 x 19 structure provides unlimited line length, added strength, and extra margin of safety.
Added anchor strength; all anchor posts are designed to resist without fracture a pull-out force of 5400 lbs (24.02 kN), applied in most adverse direction.
Specify any angle for corners; in addition to common corner angles such as 45°, 90°, 135°, any angle in 1°increments way be specified without additional cost.
Cost advantage to building owner; most Thaler “Easy Slider” system components are fabricated in-house thereby eliminating middle-man suppliers which can result in significant savings. “Easy Slider” is one of the most cost-efficient horizontal lifeline systems on the market. Be sure to obtain accurate cost data before making specifying decision
”Easy-Slider” means hands free movement; users travel full length of horizontal lifeline whitout disconnecting while having both hands free.
Aesthetically pleasing flashing; pre-formed Thaler STACK JACK flashing used with roof anchor posts are arguably the best, most reliable, maintenance-free flashing product on the market to-day. The STACK JACK relies on memory in the EPDM seals to prevent leaks from above and condensation from below (air barrier design). See Thaler STACK JACK flashing literature (Section A of manual), or Thaler EPDM Flashing Seals literature.
Long distance between supports; a single line horizontal lifeline system such as the Thaler K-703 “Easy Slider” reduces the number of roof penetrations by providing up 80’-0” (24.4 m) distance between supports using a double TEA (Thaler Energy Absorber) in the horizontal cable, or 60’-0” (18.3 m) distance using a single TEA.
Maintenance-Free; except for occasional wiping of any dirt that has accumulated on the stainless steel horizontal cable, and annual inspection (by others), the “Easy Slider” requires no maintenance. In addition the STACK JACK flashing used for the anchor posts is simply and cleanly installed without messy caulking seals.
20-year Warranty; guaranteed against leaks, condensation and defects in materials and/or manufacture when installed in accordance Thaler written “Installation Instructions”.
