B-LINE T41514 36 BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size opening does the B-Line Grip Strut stair tread cover?
The Grip Strut stair tread measures 9.5 in wide by 432 in in stated length, with a 1.5 in channel size and 1.5 in height. Measure your stringer-to-stringer run and tread depth against those figures before ordering, since the tread depth is fixed at 9.5 in and cannot be trimmed narrower without losing the formed channel edge.
2) Is this Grip Strut stair tread OSHA compliant for an industrial stair?
Yes. The B-Line Grip Strut stair tread is listed as OSHA compliant, and it is a serrated-surface tread intended for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required, which is the usual reason it gets specified on plant stairs, catwalk access, and mechanical platform runs.
3) Does the plain finish on this steel stair tread need painting or galvanizing for outdoor use?
The finish is Plain, meaning bare steel with no protective coating. On an interior dry stair that is fine, but for an exterior stair, a wash-down area, or anywhere with chemical exposure, bare steel will corrode and you should either field-coat it or specify a galvanized Grip Strut tread instead.
4) Is 14 gauge heavy enough for a stair tread on a plant walkway?
14 gauge steel is the lighter of the common Grip Strut tread thicknesses and suits normal foot traffic on access stairs, ladders, and platforms. If your stair sees heavy loads, carts, or long unsupported spans between stringers, step up to a heavier gauge or a deeper channel rather than this 1.5 in, 14 gauge profile.
5) Does the Grip Strut stair tread come with mounting hardware or end plates?
No fasteners or end plates are included. The tread is supplied as the formed steel grating section only, so plan on bolts or welded clips and, where your stair design calls for them, separate carrier or nosing plates to attach it to the stringers.
6) How heavy is a Grip Strut stair tread to handle on site?
Listed weight is 3.6 lb, so a single tread is a one-hand carry up a ladder. That is one of the reasons crews use Grip Strut for retrofit stair work: treads can be set and bolted without lifting gear, unlike cast or heavy bar grating.
7) Can I use this tread for a walkway or platform instead of a stair?
It is built as a stair tread, with the 9.5 in width sized to a tread run rather than a walkway panel. You can use sections on a small platform or ladder rung application where the 9.5 in width and 1.5 in channel work out, but for a continuous floor or catwalk deck, use plank or panel Grip Strut in the appropriate width instead.
