C-Top Rail

 

Width:1.25" (31.8 mm)

Height: 1.625" (41.3 mm)

Weight: 1.35 lbs. (2.0 kg/m)

C-Top Rail is roll-formed sections, 1.625 in. x 1.25 in., weighing 1.35 lbs. per ft. C-Top Rails are made from 50,000-pound minimum yield strength steel and have a minimum bending strength of 263 lbs. on a 10 ft. span. They are continuously coated with 4 oz. of zinc per square ft., per ASTM-F1043. With these attributes, C-Top Rail has superior strength and corrosion protection in comparison to 1.625 in. Schedule 90 pipe.

* Critical axis-perpendicular to fence line.
** Theoretical beam loads were computed as follows: Yield strength X section modulus divided by the height in inches (cantilever beam load 72”)
*** Yield strength X section modulus X 4 divided* by length in inches (simple beam load 120”)
