Petzl Auxiliary Open Brake for I’D®

Description

Enhance Your Descent Control with Confidence

The Petzl Auxiliary Open Brake is a game-changing addition for those using the Petzl I’D descender in demanding vertical environments. Whether you’re managing long descents or heavy loads, this accessory provides increased friction and smoother operation, enhancing both control and safety during rope access work.

Quick Installation, Reliable Performance

This open brake installs quickly on the side plate of the I’D descender, requiring no tools or complicated steps. Once in place, it significantly increases friction, making it easier to manage heavy loads or regulate descent on small-diameter ropes. Have you ever struggled to maintain consistent speed during a long descent? Would you like a brake that works with you instead of against you? The Auxiliary Open Brake answers both.

Built for Professionals

Designed with rope access technicians, rescue workers, and tower climbers in mind, this accessory is recommended when additional control is needed, especially on thinner ropes or when operating in wet or icy conditions. Its open design allows for easy rope threading and removal, saving time during critical moments.

Compatibility and Certification

This product is specifically designed for the Petzl I’D S and I’D L. It is compatible with both 10–11.5 mm and 11.5–13 mm kernmantle ropes depending on the descender model used. It meets the same high safety and quality standards you expect from Petzl gear.

Take the guesswork out of managing descent speed and friction. Equip your Petzl I’D with the Auxiliary Open Brake and gain greater control, smoother handling, and increased confidence while suspended at height.
