Review: It is a good safety accompaniment to the Zigzag which makes it safer - I avoided buying this device for a long time after using only a zigzag. I learned that in certain configurations the zigzag really benefits from this device. High quality, as with all Petzl equipment. Review: Not quite as nice as the zigzag but works well enough - It seems well made though maybe a bit like an afterthought. It works well enough on my zigzag for srt though I’d rather switch to my RR Vertec if I have the opportunity. Seems to be more expensive than it needs to be. ## Features - SINGLE ROPE COMPATIBILITY: Converts the ZIGZAG and ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusiks into an ANSI Z133 compliant system for use on single ropes (SRS/SRT). - ADDED FRICTION: Provides continuous additional braking action via two friction pins, ensuring controlled and smooth descents on a single line. - SMOOTH ASCENT: When used with an Am'D or OK carabiner, the H-shaped cross-section creates a unified system that glides smoothly up the rope during ascents. - ERGONOMIC HANDLE: Features a large handle that offers excellent grip, making it easier to manage the rope and facilitating movement while limb walking. - EASY INSTALLATION: The openable side plate with triple-action unlocking allows for quick and easy installation on the rope at any point. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07NCNHZTG | | Best Sellers Rank | #359,739 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #353 in Bike Brake Cables & Housing #636 in Climbing Rope, Cord & Webbing | | Brand Name | PETZL | | Collection Name | All | | Color | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (382) | | Fit Type | Universal | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03342540826533 | | Included Components | See the description | | Item Type Name | Accessory For Climbing | | Item Weight | 255 Grams | | Manufacturer | Petzl | | Material | Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Nylon | | Occasion | Work | | Part Number | D022CA00 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Size | UNI | | Style Number | D022CA00 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 year manufacturer warranty | | Weight Capacity Maximum | 140 Kilograms | ## Product Details - **Brand:** PETZL - **Color:** Yellow - **Fit Type:** Universal - **Material:** Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Nylon - **Product Care Instructions:** Hand Wash Only ## Images ![Chicane Auxiliary Braking Device for Zigzag on Single Ropes - Yellow - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dnrg-HgpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is a good safety accompaniment to the Zigzag which makes it safer *by L***T on July 16, 2025* I avoided buying this device for a long time after using only a zigzag. I learned that in certain configurations the zigzag really benefits from this device. High quality, as with all Petzl equipment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not quite as nice as the zigzag but works well enough *by D***N on May 17, 2025* It seems well made though maybe a bit like an afterthought. It works well enough on my zigzag for srt though I’d rather switch to my RR Vertec if I have the opportunity. Seems to be more expensive than it needs to be. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The commuter car of SRT with automatic transmission *by A***M on December 2, 2023* I’m starting to use SRT in tree climbing because it is often easier to “commute up into the canopy” I also purchased a Petzl A’md ball lock carabiner for clipping to the classic triple hole micro pulley. If you already own a hitch climber MRS, the chicane empowers SRT for less cost, commitment, and tangled gadgetry. The handle turns my life support system into a hand ascender-foot locking and foot wrapping gets you to work with far less hand fatigue than manually gripping rope the old fashioned way. (Especially nice with an adjustable bridge). While transitioning between SRT and MRS, Keep your life support system intact with fewer loose pieces and less time. The A’md carabiner stays put & racks directly to my belt. Keep your gloves on! I can’t speak to long term durability, but Petzl did design replaceable bollards (where rope is in contact) ## Frequently Bought Together - PETZL - Chicane Auxillary Brake for Mechanical Prusik - PETZL, OK Carabiners - Petzl Zigzag Plus Descender for Arborists D022BA00 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/117398130-chicane-auxiliary-braking-device-for-zigzag-on-single-ropes-yellow](https://www.desertcart.it/products/117398130-chicane-auxiliary-braking-device-for-zigzag-on-single-ropes-yellow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
