50’ of Sterling’s most popular Personal Escape Rope. Sterling’s 8mm nylon PER offers NFPA-P certification and high strength in an 8mm diameter rope. You can count on this durable, high tensile lifeline to provide the right balance of strength, abrasion resistance, and handling—and perform flawlessly the moment it’s needed. The Sterling PER is designed with a tough but flexible 40-carrier sheath and the proper elongation in the core to help absorb impact force during a bail out. Iits high-visibility yellow sheath makes it easy to see, even in low light and smoky conditions.

Kong Tango Auto-locking Snap Hook—one of the fastest, safest, most innovative NFPA-P carabiners we’ve ever seen. This ultra-light, high-strength aircraft aluminum-alloy snap hook provides the safety of a locking-gate carabiner with the one-hand operating convenience of a simple snap hook. Plus it offers the secure connection and rope protection of a captive eye. The Kong Tango’s unique key-lock double gate design allows the hook to be easily opened—or simply snapped onto its attachment point—in an instant, even with heavy firefighting gloves.

Lever-action double gate design offers safety and the one-handed convenience of a simple snap hook. Yet it locks automatically. And stays locked, thanks to its patented double-gate KEY-LOCK™ system. While both the rear lever and gate must be squeezed simultaneously to unlock the gate, it’s done in a completely natural gripping action.

Sewn loop and captive eye provide a secure, tangle-free connection. The Sterling PER is permanently attached to the captive eye loop of the Kong Tango with sturdy, static polyester stitching that, like the rope sheath, is heat resistant to 420° F. The entire stitched area is then covered with heavy duty shrink tubing to protect the threads and sewn connection from dirt and abrasion. The Tango’s closed, captive eye, and patented Key-Lock design prevent the rope from becoming entangled in the lever or carabiner shell when it is being connected or released.
