What is the Twin Turbo G2 Connector?
The patent-pending Twin Turbo G2 Connector is a compact, lightweight bracket uniquely engineered to
connect two compatible personal fall limiters (PFLs) to the back of a user’s harness. The G2 provides 100%
tie-off for continuous fall protection while working at heights with limited fall clearance.

Better alternative to double-leg lanyards
o Reduces fall clearance requirements for use in more applications
Connects two TurboLite PFLs independently
o Provides ultimate worker mobility
o Prevents webbing from twisting and binding inside the unit
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum construction
o Provides increased comfort and reduces worker fatigue
o Increases durability and provides longer service life
Connects to the harness webbing below the D-ring allowing the harness D-ring to remain available for
rescue and connection to an overhead SRL
Smooth connector nose prevents snagging of the connector on the harness webbing
Large connector opening allows for quick and easy installation increasing worker productivity
Webbing retainer clip rotates freely and offers a generous webbing slot to accommodate thicker
webbing designs
o Increased versatility
o Easy installation of the connector onto the harness webbing
o Increased safety by preventing unintentional opening of the carabiner during a fall
Optional D-Pad Clip maintains harness adjustment while working by keeping harness webbing and
D-Pad in place.
o Provides a channel behind the webbing for easier insertion of the Twin Turbo G2 Connector
What advantages does the Twin Turbo G2 Connector offer over competitive twin connector
brackets?
The Twin Turbo G2 Connector is the lightest weight twin connector on the market today. The high impact
webbing retainer clip offers a more robust construction than other competitive twin brackets for increased
durability and safety. The G2 connector has a larger gate opening and webbing slot making installation
much easier and accommodates more harness webbing types. The smooth-shaped nose of the carabiner
prevents snagging on the harness webbing. Twin kits are available in 6-ft, 9-ft, and T-BAK (tie-back)
configurations offering more versatility than the competition. All twin configurations include models available
that meet ANSI (including ANSI Z359.14), OSHA, and CSA standards offering the most options for full
compliance.
What PFL models are compatible with the Twin Turbo G2 Connector?
Select TurboLite PFLs with both 6-ft. and 9-ft. working capacities and Turbo T-BAK (tie-back) PFLs are
compatible with the Twin Turbo G2 Connector. Please refer to Q9/A9 for a list of the models available in twin
configurations with the Twin Turbo G2 Connector.

What TurboLite PFL models are not adaptable with the Twin Turbo G2 Connector?
The only TurboLite PFL models that are not adaptable with the Twin Turbo G2 Connector are the models
with permanently installed hooks on the top of the units which include: MFL-7/6FT, MFL-8/6FT, MFL-9/6FT,
MFL-9-Z7/6FT, MFL-10/6FT, MFL-10-Z7/6FT, MFL-14-Z7/6FT, MFL-15-Z7/6FT, MFL-9/9FT, MFL-9-Z7/9FT,

Q7.
A7.
Can the Twin Turbo G2 Connector be purchased separately?
Yes, the Twin Turbo G2 Connector can be purchased separately under part number MFLC/. The connector
adapts to TurboLite PFLs (6-ft. and 9ft.) and Turbo T-BAK PFLs. Replacement parts and an optional D-Pad
Connector Clip are also available for the Twin Turbo G2 Connector.

What is the benefit of using the optional Harness Back D-Pad Clip and do I need to use it on all Miller
harnesses?
The Harness Back D-Pad Clip is recommended for best performance to minimize slippage of the Twin Turbo
G2 Connector on the harness webbing. It maintains harness adjustment while working by keeping the
harness webbing and D-Pad in place. It also provides a channel behind the webbing for easier insertion of
the Twin Turbo G2 Connector. The D-Pad Clip is included with every kit, but is not needed with all
harnesses. Harnesses with sewn-in back pads (e.g. AirCore) and thicker webbing tend to stay adjusted
without the D-Pad Clip. The D-Pad Clip fits the back D-Pad of all Miller harnesses sold today except for the
Titan T2000/T2500 Series harnesses.
Are Twin Turbo System kits available with the Twin Turbo G2 Connector?
Yes, there are a variety of Twin Turbo G2 Fall Protection System Kits that include the Twin Turbo G2
Connector for TurboLite PFLs in both 6-ft. and 9-ft. lengths. A Twin Turbo T-BAK PFL Kit is also available
with the G2 Connector. The chart below shows the Twin Turbo G2 Fall Protection System Kits that are
available.

Q16.
A16.
Can the Twin Turbo G2 Connector System be used with a D-ring extension?
No, the Twin Turbo G2 Connector must attach directly to the back of the user’s
harness under the D-ring. Fig. 1 shows the Twin Turbo G2 Connector System
when properly attached to the harness under the back D-ring.
Q17.
How difficult is it to attach the Twin Turbo G2 Connector System to the back
of the harness? Are any tools required?

Fig. 1
Q19.
A19.
Can the Twin Turbo G2 Connector attach to the back of other manufacturers’ harnesses?
For optimal compatibility, we recommend attaching to a Miller harness. However, the Twin Turbo G2
Connector can also be attached to the back of a harness from other manufacturers as long as the
connection is deemed compatible by a competent person after referencing the instruction manual for
attachment instructions. As mentioned above, we recommend using the optional D-Pad Connector Clip for
best performance and to minimize slippage of the connector on the harness webbing. The optional D-Pad
Clip is designed to be used only with Miller harnesses and will not be compatible with competitive
harnesses.
Q20.
A20.
How much does the Twin Turbo G2 Connector weigh compared to competitive products?
The Twin Turbo G2 Connector weighs 6.7 oz. The Twin Turbo G2 Connector is up to 22% lighter than the
most comparable competitive model.
