B-LINE 52512 12 GL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the B-Line 52512 12 GL Grip Strut plank, and will it cover a 12 foot walkway run?
The 52512 12 GL plank is 144 inches long and 11.75 inches wide, so a single piece spans a full 12 foot run without a splice. Channel depth is 2.5 inches, which is also the overall height of the plank when it is sitting on its supports.
2) Is B-Line Grip Strut five diamond plank OSHA compliant for walking and working surfaces?
The 52512 12 GL five diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant. The five diamond punched surface is what does the work: the raised diamond openings give traction in oil, ice, and mud, which is why it gets specified for catwalks, platforms, and stair treads where non-slip footing is required.
3) Is mill-galvanized Grip Strut suitable for outdoor or wash-down areas?
Mill-galvanized is the finish on the 52512 12 GL. That is zinc applied to the coil before forming, so the cut edges and punched diamonds are raw steel. It holds up in covered, dry, or lightly humid industrial areas. For constant outdoor weather exposure, chemical wash-down, or coastal air, specify a hot-dip galvanized-after-fabrication or stainless plank instead, since the exposed edges on mill-galvanized will be the first thing to rust.
4) How heavy is a 12 foot Grip Strut plank, and can one person carry it?
Each 144 inch plank weighs 6.6 lb, so a single worker can carry and set it by hand. That low weight is one of the reasons crews use formed 12 gauge plank over bar grating on elevated platforms and mezzanine walkways, where every piece has to go up a ladder.
5) What does the 12 gauge callout mean on this Grip Strut plank versus a lighter gauge?
12 gauge is the thickness of the steel the plank is formed from, and it is the heavier of the common Grip Strut gauges. On the 52512 12 GL it is paired with a 2.5 inch channel depth, which is what carries the span between supports. Thinner gauge planks of the same width need supports on tighter centers for the same loading, so match the gauge on the drawing rather than swapping down.
6) Does the B-Line 52512 12 GL plank come with mounting clips or fasteners?
The 52512 12 GL is the plank only, 144 by 11.75 inches in 12 gauge steel. Hold-down clips, saddle clips, or bolts to fasten the channel legs to your supporting steel are ordered separately. Work out your fastening method and count before the plank arrives so the install is not held up.
7) What is the correct part number for a 12 foot, 11.75 inch wide mill-galvanized Grip Strut plank?
Order Eaton B-Line part 52512 12 GL. That number covers the five diamond plank at 144 inch length, 11.75 inch width, 2.5 inch channel, 12 gauge steel, mill-galvanized.
