{"product_id":"rothco-rescue-figure-8-ring-rappelling-descender","title":"Rothco Rescue Figure 8 Ring Rappelling Descender","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Rescue Figure 8 Ring is a rappelling descender built for rescue-grade use, accommodating two ropes up to 5\/8 inch in diameter. Constructed from hard-coated 6061-T6 aluminum and rated to a breaking strength of 10,000+ pounds, it is designed for operators who need a reliable, industry-standard device for rope descent and rescue operations. Available in black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Two-Rope Loads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Figure 8 Ring's oversized upper ring is sized to run two ropes simultaneously at diameters up to 5\/8 inch. In rescue scenarios where a second rope serves as a safety or haul line, the device handles both without requiring a separate piece of hardware on the harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExtended Horns for Controlled Tie-Off\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper ring's extended horns prevent the rope from sliding up and locking off unintentionally during a tie-off. The geometry gives the operator a more deliberate, controlled lock: a meaningful difference when working under load or in awkward positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDual Attachment Points Prevent Loss\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo holes on the tie-in end allow the Figure 8 Ring to stay connected to the harness while the operator threads the rope. In high-angle or extreme-condition environments, keeping the device tethered during rigging eliminates the risk of dropping it before the descent begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-rope capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e accommodates two ropes up to 5\/8 inch in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreaking strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e rated to 10,000+ pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6061-T6 aluminum with hard coat for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 211 grams (approximately 0.47 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended horns:\u003c\/strong\u003e prevent rope from sliding up and locking off during tie-off\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual tie-in holes:\u003c\/strong\u003e keep the device attached to the harness during rope threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6061-T6 aluminum, hard coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e211 grams (0.47 lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRope Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUp to 5\/8 inch diameter; two ropes simultaneously\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBreaking Strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e10,000+ pounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWARNING: This product can expose you to Lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Its extended horns and dual tie-in holes make it particularly well suited to high-angle rescue and technical rope work where controlled tie-off and device retention are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis device is not a beginner or recreational rappelling tool and is not intended for use without proper rope-rescue or rappelling training. It provides no ballistic or stab protection and is not a body armor product. Users should verify compatibility with their specific rope diameters, harness systems, and applicable safety standards before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat rope diameters does the Figure 8 Ring accept?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Rescue Figure 8 Ring is designed to accommodate two ropes simultaneously, each up to 5\/8 inch (approximately 16 mm) in diameter. Users should confirm that their specific rope diameter and construction fall within that range before rigging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the breaking strength of this descender?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Rescue Figure 8 Ring is rated to a breaking strength of 10,000+ pounds. Users should consult applicable rescue or rope-access standards and their organization's safety protocols to confirm this rating meets their operational requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the dual tie-in hole design help in the field?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe two holes on the tie-in end of the Figure 8 Ring allow it to remain attached to the harness while the operator threads the rope. This prevents the device from being dropped or lost during rigging in high-angle or extreme-condition environments where recovering a dropped piece of hardware may not be possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the Figure 8 Ring made of, and how durable is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Rescue Figure 8 Ring is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a hard coat for added durability. At 211 grams, it is lightweight relative to its load rating, making it practical for extended carry on a harness or kit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rothco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67126239297907,"sku":"RTC-375","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/375-A.webp?v=1792112320","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/rothco-rescue-figure-8-ring-rappelling-descender","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
