Product Description
## Product Features
- 8 mm temporary anchor made of a twisted aluminum plate and a steel pin for suspension and caving equipment.
- Instant setup by activating the release piston and complete extraction by pressing the piston and pulling on the plate.
- Locking wheel for prolonged use or group settings and interchangeable plate for easy maintenance.
- Design limits corrosion underground for more responsible and controllable equipment use.
- Certified resistances: shear 15 kN and pull-out 12 kN (concrete 50 MPa) with CE EN 795 certifications.
## Design and Materials
The Petzl Pulse 8 mm combines a twisted aluminum plate and a stainless steel pin (with polyamide components depending on variants) to provide a lightweight, strong, and durable anchor. The plate keeps the connector parallel to the wall, facilitating equipment use and reducing stress on connectors.
## Quick Installation and Removal
Setup is instantaneous thanks to the release piston: a simple action locks the anchor. For extraction, pressing the piston along with pulling on the plate completely removes the anchor, simplifying the operation for cavers.
## Safety and Group Use
The notched locking wheel ensures reliable holding for prolonged or group use, even when wearing gloves. The mechanical characteristics (shear and pull-out) guarantee performance suitable for loads encountered in caving.
## Maintenance and Responsible Use
The design minimizes corrosion underground, allowing visual inspection of the anchor's condition and simplified maintenance thanks to the interchangeable plate, contributing to a more respectful use of underground environments.
## Key Technical Specifications
Lightweight (45-60 g depending on sources), drilling diameter 8 mm, recommended drilling length 5 cm, main materials aluminum and stainless steel, shear resistance 15 kN and pull-out 12 kN, CE EN 795 and UKCA certifications depending on versions.
