B-LINE T42012 36 AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Grip Strut stair tread meet OSHA requirements for plant stairs?
The B-Line Eaton Grip Strut stair tread is listed as OSHA Compliant, and the surface is built for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required. That is what facility and plant maintenance buyers are specifying it for on steel stairs, catwalk access, and equipment platforms.
2) What width and length is the B-Line Grip Strut aluminum stair tread, and will it fit a standard stair stringer?
The tread measures 9.5 inches wide and 432 inches in overall length, with a 2 inch channel depth. At 432 inches it is a full 36 foot run, so it is cut to the riser width you need rather than dropping in at a fixed stair width. Measure your stringer-to-stringer dimension and cut from the length; the 9.5 inch width is your finished tread depth.
3) Is this stair tread aluminum or steel, and does it hold up outdoors?
It is aluminum, .080 inch material, 14 gauge. Aluminum is the usual pick for wet, washdown, coastal, or chemical-exposure areas where a painted or galvanized steel tread would eventually rust out. If the run is interior and dry and you want maximum load capacity instead, steel Grip Strut is the alternative.
4) How tall is the 2 inch channel, and how much headroom does it take under the tread?
The channel is 2 inches, and the product height is listed at 2 inches, so the tread sits 2 inches above whatever it mounts to. Account for that when you calculate riser heights: mounting a 2 inch channel tread on an existing stringer raises each step by the channel depth unless the stringer is notched for it.
5) What is the model number for the aluminum 2 inch Grip Strut stair tread?
Order it as B-Line model T42012 36 AL. The AL suffix is the aluminum material and the 2 in the series corresponds to the 2 inch channel size.
6) Is aluminum Grip Strut light enough to install without a crew?
Yes. Listed weight is 1.37 lb, and aluminum at .080 inch thickness is light enough for one person to set and fasten a cut tread by hand. That is a real advantage on retrofit work where you are carrying treads up an existing stair.
