B-Line 102014F 12 GL Eaton series Grip Strut ten diamond plank, 144" Grating length, 24" Grating width, Steel, 2" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, Grip Strut, 14 gauge

Yes. The 102014F 12 GL ten diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is intended for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip surfacing is required, which is the usual reason it gets specified for catwalks, platforms and stair treads over solid or bar grating.

Mill-galvanized steel is the standard finish on this plank, and it suits dry interior and sheltered exterior use where corrosion exposure is light. For constant wetting, chemical exposure or coastal air, a hot-dip galvanized-after-fabrication or stainless plank is the better call, because mill-galvanized leaves the cut and punched edges bare.

This plank is formed from 14 gauge steel with 2 inch side channels, which is the common weight for pedestrian maintenance access, mezzanine walkways and equipment platforms. Load capacity depends on your support spacing, so the practical control is how close you set the supports under the 2 inch channels, not the gauge alone. Heavier traffic or wide unsupported spans call for a deeper channel plank.

Order it as Eaton B-Line 102014F 12 GL. That single catalog number covers the ten diamond plank at 144 inch length, 24 inch width, 14 gauge steel, mill-galvanized, with the 2 inch channel.

What ships is the plank itself, 144 by 24 inches in 14 gauge mill-galvanized steel. Hold-down clips, saddle clips or bolts for fastening the 2 inch channels to your supporting structure are ordered separately, so add them to the same order if you don't already have them on site.

Ten diamond refers to the number of diamond-shaped non-slip openings across the 24 inch width of the plank. More diamonds across means a wider walking surface, so the ten diamond is the 2 foot wide plank rather than a narrow stair tread or single-diamond walkway section.

Yes, steel plank of this type is routinely cut on site to suit the run. Cutting exposes bare steel at the new edge, and since the finish here is mill-galvanized rather than galvanized after fabrication, touch up cut ends with a zinc-rich coating if the area sees any moisture.
