1.1 This specification covers the materials, coating requirements, and inspection of fence accessories for chain- link fence for the following: 1.1.1 Post and line caps, 1.1.2 Rail and brace ends, 1.1.3 Top rail sleeves, 1.1.4 Tie wires, clips, and fasteners, 1.1.5 Tension and brace bands, 1.1.6 Tension bars, 1.1.7 Truss rod assembly, 1.1.8 Barbed wire arms, 1.1.9 Color coating of fittings, and 1.1.10 Fitting size terminology. 1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.3 This international standard was developed in accor- dance with internationally recognized principles on standard- ization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recom- mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
6. Tie Wires and Clips
6.1 Ties for attaching chain-link fabric to round tubular or rectangular roll-formed horizontal rails and intermediate posts shall be one of the following systems, as selected by the purchaser: 6.1.1 Standard Straight, Preformed Hook or Pigtail Round Wire having a preformed hook or pigtail at one end, shall be designed of sufficient length to comply with the installation practice within Practice F567. Galvanized steel or aluminum round wire ties shall be “soft/bendable” so that during the installation of the tie the tie wire coating or chain link fabric coating is not damaged by cutting through to the bare steel. Specify one of the following materials. 6.1.1.1 Twelve-gage (0.106 6 0.004-in.

(4.88 6 0.125-mm)) aluminum Alloy 1350-H19 or approved equal. 6.1.2 High-Security Round Wire Ties shall be one of the following, as selected by the purchaser: 6.1.2.1 Power-Fastened Preformed Metallic Coated Steel Round Wire Ties, preformed to the size of the rail or post and ofa sufficient length to be installed according to Practice F567. Power-fastened round wire ties shall be 9-gage (0.148 6 0.005-in. (3.76 6 0.125-mm)) or, for added security, 6-gage (0.192 6 0.005-in. (4.88 6 0.125-mm)) steel with a tensile strength range from 65 to 75 ksi. Specify one of the following coatings: (1) A minimum of2.00 oz/ft 2 (600 g/m 2 ) ofzinc for 6-gage or 1.80 oz/ft 2 (540 g/m 2 ) of zinc for 9-gage in accordance with Specification A641 (A641M), Class B coating. (2) A minimum of 0.40 oz/ft 2 (122 g/m 2 ) of aluminum for 6-gage or 9-gage in accordance with Specification A809. 6.1.2.2 Straight, Manually Fastened Coated Steel Round Wire Ties, of sufficient length to be installed according to Practice F567. Wire ties shall be 9-gage (0.148 6 0.005-in. (3.76 6 0.125-mm)) steel, “soft/blendable,” having a tensile strength range from 55 to 65 ksi. Specify one of the following coatings: (1) A minimum of 1.2 oz/ft 2 (366 g/m 2 ) of zinc in accor- dance with Specification A817, Type 2, Class 1. (2) A minimum of 0.40 oz/ft 2 (122 g/m 2 ) of aluminum in accordance with Specification A809.
