B-LINE T41514N 24 BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 288 inch Grip Strut stair tread fit my stairs, or do I need to cut it?
The B-Line Grip Strut stair tread, model T41514N 24 BL, comes as a 288 inch length with a 9.5 inch tread width. That is 24 feet in one piece, well beyond a single stair run, so it is normally cut to your stair width on site or in the shop. Plan on field cutting and deburring the cut ends.
2) Is this Grip Strut stair tread OSHA compliant for an industrial stairway?
Yes. The Grip Strut stair tread is listed as OSHA compliant, and the diamond-perforated, serrated surface is what gives it the non-slip footing OSHA looks for on work stairs. The 9.5 inch tread width is the common industrial stair depth.
3) What does the 1.5 inch channel size mean for stringer attachment?
The 1.5 inch channel size is the depth of the formed side channels, and the product height is likewise 1.5 inches. Those turned-down legs are what you bolt or weld to the stair stringer, so your stringer punch pattern and riser layout need to suit a 1.5 inch deep channel. Mounting bolts and clips are not part of the tread.
4) Is plain finish Grip Strut okay for outdoor or wet locations?
Plain finish means bare, uncoated steel with no galvanizing or paint. For exterior stairs, washdown areas, or anywhere corrosive, either paint or hot-dip galvanize after cutting, or specify a galvanized Grip Strut tread instead. Plain is for dry interior use or for jobs where you are coating the assembly yourself.
5) Grip Strut stair tread or bar grating tread, which should I use?
Grip Strut is a single formed sheet of 14 gauge steel with a perforated, serrated walking surface, so it is lighter to handle and drains and self-cleans well on stairs. Welded bar grating treads are heavier and carry more load per span, which matters on wide stringer spacing or heavy-traffic plant stairs. For a standard 9.5 inch deep industrial tread where slip resistance is the driver, Grip Strut is the usual pick.
6) How heavy is the 14 gauge Grip Strut tread to handle on site?
14 gauge steel keeps it light, with a stated product weight of 3.6 lb. One person can carry and set a cut tread without a lift, which is part of why Grip Strut gets used for retrofit stair work in occupied buildings.
7) What is the exact part number to order this Grip Strut tread?
Order Eaton B-Line model T41514N 24 BL. That designation covers the 288 inch length, 9.5 inch width, 1.5 inch channel, plain 14 gauge steel stair tread.
8) Can I use this Grip Strut as walkway or platform planking instead of a stair tread?
It is configured as a stair tread, 9.5 inches wide with 1.5 inch side channels for stringer mounting. That width works for a narrow catwalk run if you support the channels properly, but for platforms and walkways you normally want wider Grip Strut plank or grating panels rather than ganging tread sections.
