B-LINE T32012 36 AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size stair tread is the B-Line Grip Strut T32012 36 AL, and will it cover a standard stair width?
The Grip Strut tread measures 432 inches in length and 7 inches in width, with a 2 inch channel height. The 7 inch dimension is the walking depth of the tread, so it covers the run of one step; the 432 inch length is the raw grating length you cut or order to your stair width. Confirm your riser-to-riser tread depth is 7 inches or less before you commit.
2) Is this Grip Strut stair tread OSHA compliant for an industrial stairway?
Yes. The B-Line Grip Strut aluminum tread is listed as OSHA compliant and is a non-slip walking surface, which is what plant, mezzanine, and rooftop access stairs are typically specified to. The serrated grip surface is the reason it is used where safe, sturdy footing is required.
3) Aluminum or steel Grip Strut tread - which should I use outdoors or in a wash-down area?
This one is aluminum, which is the choice where corrosion is the concern: exterior stairs, coastal sites, water treatment, food processing wash-down, and chemical areas. Aluminum also keeps the tread light enough for one person to set, at 1.15 lb. If the stair is interior and dry and you care mainly about load and cost, a galvanized or plain steel Grip Strut tread is the usual alternative.
4) How thick is the material on the B-Line T32012 aluminum Grip Strut tread?
The tread is formed from .080 inch aluminum, which is 14 gauge material. That is the thickness that carries the load between your stringers, so it matters when you are checking span and point loading on a stair.
5) Do the B-Line Grip Strut stair treads come with mounting hardware or end plates?
What ships is the Grip Strut grating itself, model T32012 36 AL, in aluminum. Carriage bolts, nuts, and any end or nosing plates for attaching the tread to your stringers are ordered separately, so add them to the same order if the stair is not already drilled and hardware is not on site.
6) I'm standardizing stair treads across a facility - what do I need to match on a reorder?
Four things decide whether treads interchange across a building: material (aluminum here), grating width or tread depth (7 inches), channel size (2 inches), and material thickness (.080 inch, 14 gauge). Match those and the tread bolts into the same stringer prep. The ordering part number is T32012 36 AL.
7) Can I cut this Grip Strut tread to length in the field?
Yes. It is .080 inch aluminum in 14 gauge, light enough to cut on site with a circular saw and a non-ferrous blade or a bandsaw. That is the practical way to take the 432 inch grating length down to the exact width between your stringers. Deburr the cut ends before installing.
