fittone

English translation: glue-in anchor

Italian term or phrase: fittone
I'm translating a leaflet on safety when walking in the mountains which includes a section on techniques for using a via ferrata safely. Here it refers a couple of times to the "fittone", which I understand to be the anchor point to which the safety line is attached. Rather than use the generic "anchor point", does anyone know a more exact translation in English?

"Con il set da ferrata a “V”, è tassativo collegare alla linea di sicurezza soltanto uno dei due connettori alla volta, tranne nel momento del frazionamento (passaggio del fittone). In caso di caduta, uno solo dei due connettori va a lavorare sull’infisso di sicurezza (fittone)."

Thanks, Sarah.

Thanks Raffaele. I've decided to use just "anchor" as from the text it is impossible to understand if they are the "glue-in" kind.
