Key Clamp Infill Fence Panel 1.2m, 48.3mm Tube, Galvanised Pedestrian Barrier

The infill fence panel is a ready made 1.2m section of galvanised pedestrian barrier for key clamp post systems built from 48.3mm tube. Each panel has a 48.3mm galvanised tube along the top and bottom with 12mm solid steel bars between them at 100mm centres. The rails slot into the fittings on 48.3mm key clamp posts and are locked with grub screws, so a barrier of almost any length and layout goes together quickly on site. Fitted to posts, the barrier stands 1100mm high. The panel has been independently tested by SGS to BS 7818:1995 and passed. The price shown is for one panel; posts are sold separately.

Why use infill fence panels

Fast to build. Each panel comes made up, so you only fix the posts and slot the panels in. There is no cutting of bars or tube on site.

Closer infill than rails alone. Bars at 100mm centres close the gap between top and bottom rail, so the barrier stops people and small objects passing through, which an open two-rail guard rail cannot do.

Tested. SGS tested the panel and posts to BS 7818:1995 clause 2.1.5 at the Class 1 rail design load of 500N per metre with posts at 1.2m, and the infill at the Class A design load of 500N. The rail, post and infill tests were all passed.

Galvanised for outdoors. Tube and bars are galvanised for long life in all weathers.

Where it is used

Pedestrian barriers along footpaths, car parks and drop kerbs, crowd control and queue lines at venues, edge protection on terraces, ramps and raised paths, school and play area boundaries, and barriers around plant, bins and service yards.

Specifications

Know its limits

The panel is a fixed 1.2m length and is made for level runs; it is not designed to be cut down. The test results apply to posts at 1.2m spacing as tested; for a barrier that must meet a particular standard or load on your site, ask a structural engineer to check the design, the posts and the fixings.

What you need to build a barrier

How many do you need?

One panel for each 1.2m bay between posts. A straight 12m barrier needs ten panels and eleven posts; each corner adds a corner post.

Choosing the right posts

The panel rails are 48.3mm tube, so the posts and their fittings must be 48.3mm (size D) key clamp. Ready made posts with a fitting part way down can be used by moving that fitting to the height of the bottom rail, or posts can be built from base flanges, tees and 48.3mm tube.

Fitting and care

Set out and fix the posts at 1.2m centres so they are plumb and in line. Slot the top and bottom rails of each panel into the post fittings, check the panel is level, then tighten all grub screws firmly with a 5/16" hex key. Check the screws and floor fixings after the first week and once a year after that. Touch up scratched galvanising with zinc-rich paint.
