Designation:F3000/F3000M13Standard Specification forPolymer Privacy Insert Slats for Chain Link Fabric andPrivacy Chain Link Fabric Manufactured Containing Pre-Installed Privacy Slats1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3000/F3000M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers polymer privacy insert slatsdesigned for insertion into chain link fabric after the chain linkfence installation and privacy chain fabric having slats pre-inserted into chain link mesh during the chain link weavingprocess.1.1.1 Type P-V consists of polyethylene privacy insert slatshand inserted vertically into standard mesh chain link fabricafter the fence installation.1.1.2 Type P-D consists of polyethylene privacy insert slatshand woven diagonally into standard mesh chain link fabricafter the fence installation.1.1.3 Type F-VDH consists of modified fiberglass privacyinsert slats hand woven,vertically,diagonally or horizontallyinto standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation.1.2 Type PI-V consists of privacy chain link fabric contain-ing vertical high density polyethylene privacy slats pre-insertedinto the chain link mesh during the chain link weaving process.Style 1a:Wider,238in.60.3 mm to 3 in.76.2 mm slats,pre-inserted into specially designed larger mesh.Style 1b:TypeP-V friction fit slats pre-inserted into standard 2 in.50 mmchain link mesh.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A392 Specification for Zinc-Coated Steel Chain-Link FenceFabricA491 Specification for Aluminum-Coated Steel Chain-LinkFence FabricD1499 Practice for Filtered Open-Flame Carbon-Arc Expo-sures of PlasticsF552 Terminology Relating to Chain Link FencingF567 Practice for Installation of Chain-Link FenceF626 Specification for Fence FittingsF668 Specification for Polyvinyl Chloride(PVC),Polyolefinand Other Polymer-Coated Steel Chain Link Fence FabricF934 Specification for Colors for Polymer-Coated ChainLink Fence MaterialsF1043 Specification for Strength and Protective Coatings onSteel Industrial Fence FrameworkF1083 Specification for Pipe,Steel,Hot-Dipped Zinc-Coated(Galvanized)Welded,for Fence StructuresF1345 Specification for Zinc-5%Aluminum-MischmetalAlloy-Coated Steel Chain-Link Fence Fabric2.2 Chain Link Fence Manufacturers Institute:3WLG 2445 Chain Link Fence Wind Load Guide for theSelection of Line Post and Line Post Spacing2.3 American Society of Civil Engineers and StructuralEngineering Institute:4ASCE/SEI 7-10 Minimum Design for Buildings and OtherStructures3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 privacy slata plastic polymer strip,tube or profiledesigned to slide into chain link fabric vertically,horizontallyor diagonally for the purpose of reducing visibility,providing1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F14 on Fencesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F14.40 on Chain Link Fence andWire Accessories.Current edition approved April 1,2013.Published April 2013.DOI:10.1520/F3000-13.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.34Available from American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE),1801 AlexanderBell Dr.,Reston,VA 20191,http:/www.asce.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 a level of privacy,security,wind screen or enhancing theaesthetics of chain link fence systems.3.1.2 locking channela horizontal channel shaped poly-mer extrusion designed to lock vertical privacy slats in place.3.1.3 bow tie knuckle selvagea modified larger horizontalchain link knuckle selvage that aids in securing the PI-V chainlink privacy slat in place.(Chain link knuckle,chain linkselvage see Terminology F552.)4.Ordering Information4.1 Orders for privacy insert slats purchased to this speci-fication shall include the following information:4.1.1 Quantity;length of fence.4.1.2 Height of fence.4.1.3 Type of slat;P-V,P-D or F-VDH.4.1.4 Installation orientation for F-VDH type slats:vertical,diagonal,horizontal.4.1.5 Chain link mesh size.4.1.6 Percent of closure or privacy requirement.4.1.7 Slat locking requirement.4.1.8 Style 1a or 1b Type PI-V privacy chain link fabric.4.1.9 ASTM chain link specification for Type PI-V privacychain link fabric.4.1.10 Color of slat.4.1.11 Co
