1.1 This specification establishes requirements for vinyl siding with integral foam plastic backing, where the siding is manufactured from rigid PVC compound. Performance requirements and test methods addressed by this standard include materials properties and dimensions, warp, shrinkage, impact strength, expansion, appearance, and windload resistance. Methods of indicating compliance with this specification are also provided.
Note 1—Backed vinyl siding is composed of two major components: the siding and the backing. It is intended that the siding portion comply with Specification D 3679
1.2 Backed vinyl siding shall be tested with the backing material in place or removed, as specified in the applicable requirement or test method.
1.3 The use of PVC recycled plastic in this product shall be in accordance with the requirements in Section 4.
1.4 Rigid PVC soffit is covered in Specification D 4477
1.5 Siding produced to this specification shall be installed in accordance with Practice D 4756
Note 2—Information with regard to siding maintenance shall be obtained from the manufacturer.
1.6 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.
1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Note 3—There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.
This specification establishes requirements for rigid poly(vinyl chloride) siding with integral foam plastic backing. The poly(vinyl chloride) compound shall be extruded into siding and compounded so as to provide heat stability and weather exposure stability. Tests shall be performed on the vinyl siding, exclusive of any backing material, to determine compliance with length and width, thickness, camber, heat shrinkage, impact resistance, coefficient of linear expansion, gloss, color, and color uniformity requirements. The backed vinyl siding with the backing material shall also undergo testing to ascertain conformance to the following requirements: surface distortion, weatherability, windload resistance, and nail slot allowance for thermal expansion.
