SPECIFICATIONS FOR KIDSTUFF PLAYSYSTEMS COMPONENTS

Ages 5-12 Playsystem, 3 1/2" OD Posts, Steel Decks

POWDER-COATING: Powder-coating is a scratch and chip resistant, extremely

UV-stable outdoor polyester finish that retains its bright, colorful appearance for

years. All steel tubing in the Kidstuff series is powder-coated over galvanizing for

additional rust protection. Welds are treated with a zinc-rich powder, oven treated

before the color coat. Powder-coating is oven-baked until cured. Powder thickness

depends on color, but minimum thickness is 2.8 - 3.0 mils. Every metal part in any

Kidstuff playstructure is powder or ''plastisol'' coated (excluding swing chain and

galvanized bridge support elements).

CLAMP: The Kidstuff clamp is die cast from aluminum alloy in the USA and then

powder-coated. The clamp incorporates a molded-in socket to encompass each

pipe end. Clamp halves attach with 5/16'' x 1-1/4'' socket-head bolts and nylon lock

nuts. Pipe end is held in the clamp socket by a 3/8'' x 1/2'' setscrew. Stainless

expansion pins (1/4'' x 3/4'' to 2'') driven through the socket and into the pipe

provide additional retention security for components where pull-out could

compromise safety or structural integrity. Hardware is stainless steel and is tamper-

resistant. Every clamp is also secured to each post with pins (above) at job

conclusion to prevent slippage or rotation

FASTENERS: Tamper resistant hardware is used throughout every Kidstuff

system. Fasteners meet or exceed requirements of ASTM 1487-11 section 4. 2ff.

Stainless steel hardware is used almost exclusively (99.5% of applications).

STEEL TUBING: Throughout all Kidstuff structures tubing is high-strength steel,

galvanized, with a zinc-coated interior. After component fabrication all welds are

prefinished with baked-on, zinc-rich polyester powder prior to final color-coat powder

application. Outside diameter (OD) is noted in individual specifications. Typically,

1.16'' OD tubing is a min. 17 ga., 1.31'' OD and 1.50'' is a min. 14 ga., 1.90'' OD and

2.38'' OD are min. 13 ga. Where heavier tubing is employed it is mentioned in the

specifications. All tubing is AMERICAN MADE and meets or exceeds applicable

ASTM specifications.

OVERHEAD LADDER: Constructed of 1.90” OD, 10 ga. tubing side rails with 1.16"

OD rungs spaced 14” apart. Attaches at each end to 3 1/2” posts if used as a

connecting event, or attaches at freestanding end to ladder frame of 1.90” OD

tubing. Ladder is 10’ long.

Posts are cut to length before powder-coating. Posts meet or exceed all applicable ASTM standards. Some applications require 11 ga. or 8 ga. posts—these are noted in specifications. 5” OD posts as above, but 11 ga. rather than 13 ga.

"S"-hooks attach to a pair of 4/0 galv. chain links, secured to beam by clevis through oil-impregnated bronze bushing. Rings of cast, highly-polished aluminum attach to “S”-hooks. Attaches at each end to 3 1/2" posts whether used as a connecting or freestanding event, or with one end to playstructure. Ladder is 118" long.
