Standard Specification for Polymer Privacy Insert Slats for Chain Link Fabric and Privacy Chain Link Fabric Manufactured Containing Pre-Installed Privacy Slats

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the criteria for polymer privacy insert slats designed for insertion into chain link fabric after the chain link fence installation and privacy chain fabric having slats preinserted into chain link mesh during the chain link weaving process. It covers four types of polymer privacy insert slats: Type P-V consisting of polyethylene privacy insert slats hand inserted vertically into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation; Type P-D consisting of polyethylene privacy insert slats hand woven diagonally into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation; Type F-VDH consisting of modified fiberglass privacy insert slats hand woven, vertically, diagonally or horizontally into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation; and Type PI-V consisting of privacy chain link fabric with vertical high density polyethylene privacy slats pre-inserted into the chain link mesh during the chain link weaving process. The standard addresses ordering information, privacy slat design configurations, weathering, chain link fence framework, tie wires and hog rings, and installation.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers polymer privacy insert slats designed for insertion into chain link fabric after the chain link fence installation and privacy chain fabric having slats pre-inserted into chain link mesh during the chain link weaving process.  
1.1.1 Type P-V consists of polyethylene privacy insert slats hand inserted vertically into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation.  
1.1.2 Type P-D consists of polyethylene privacy insert slats hand woven diagonally into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation.  
1.1.3 Type F-VDH consists of modified fiberglass privacy insert slats hand woven, vertically, diagonally or horizontally into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation.  
1.2 Type PI-V consists of privacy chain link fabric containing vertical high density polyethylene privacy slats pre-inserted into the chain link mesh during the chain link weaving process. Style 1a: Wider, 2 3/8 in. [60.3 mm] to 3 in. [76.2 mm] slats, pre-inserted into specially designed larger mesh. Style 1b: Type P-V friction fit slats pre-inserted into standard 2 in. [50 mm] chain link mesh.  
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.  
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
