B-LINE 51514F 12 GL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size opening or span does the B-Line 51514F 12 GL Grip Strut plank cover?
The 51514F 12 GL plank runs 144 inches long by 11.75 inches wide, with a 1.5 inch channel depth. That is a 12 foot run in a single piece, so a walkway or platform wider than 11.75 inches needs planks laid side by side to make up the width.
2) Is Grip Strut five diamond plank OSHA compliant for walking surfaces?
Yes. The 51514F 12 GL is listed as OSHA compliant, and the five diamond perforated pattern is what gives it the non-slip footing it is intended for: safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required. That is the reason it gets specified on catwalks, mezzanine walkways, stair treads and equipment platforms rather than plain plate.
3) Can Grip Strut mill-galvanized plank be used outdoors?
The finish is mill-galvanized steel, which is zinc coating applied to the coil before forming. It handles covered outdoor and general industrial exposure, but the cut edges and punched diamonds are bare steel after fabrication, so in wet, coastal or chemically aggressive locations expect edge rusting over time. For those conditions specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless version instead.
4) What is the difference between 14 gauge Grip Strut plank and bar grating for a service platform?
Grip Strut is a single formed steel sheet, 14 gauge here, punched into a five diamond pattern with the edges turned down into a 1.5 inch channel that acts as the structural rib. Bar grating is welded bearing bars and carries heavier concentrated loads over longer spans. The plank's advantage is weight, a clean one piece 144 inch run, and the serrated diamond openings that drain and shed debris. Pick plank for maintenance walkways, stair treads and catwalks; pick grating where vehicle or heavy point loads are involved.
5) How much clearance do I need below a Grip Strut plank walkway?
Allow 1.5 inches. The plank's overall height is 1.5 inches, formed by the down-turned side channels, so that is the depth it sits below the walking surface before you add whatever support steel or clip hardware you are mounting it to.
6) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton B-Line Grip Strut plank?
Order it as Eaton B-Line 51514F 12 GL. That designation covers the five diamond plank in 14 gauge steel, 144 inch length, 11.75 inch width, 1.5 inch channel, mill-galvanized finish. Changing any one of those, length or width in particular, changes the catalog number.
