B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut stair tread, 432" Grating length, 9.5" Grating width, Steel, 2" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, Stair tread, 14 gauge st

The B-Line Grip Strut stair tread is 9.5 inches wide across the walking surface, with a 2 inch channel depth. That width suits a stair with a nominal 9-1/2 inch tread run. If your stringers are set for a deeper run, you would need either a wider tread or two treads per step, so measure the nosing-to-riser dimension on the existing stair before ordering.

OSHA compliant, and it is a serrated-style non-slip walking surface intended where sure footing is required. That makes it usable on plant catwalk stairs, mezzanine access, and rooftop equipment stairs where a slip-resistant tread is required rather than plate or plain bar grating.

Mill-galvanized steel is the finish here, meaning the coating is applied to the coil before forming, so the cut ends and punched holes are bare steel. It holds up for covered outdoor and general industrial use, but in a washdown, coastal, or chemically aggressive area you want a hot-dip galvanized-after-fabrication or stainless tread instead.

This tread is 14 gauge steel with a 2 inch channel, which is the lighter-duty end of the Grip Strut range. It carries foot traffic on access and egress stairs. Where you have heavy rolling loads, long unsupported spans between stringers, or frequent cart traffic, step up to a heavier gauge or a deeper channel section rather than using this one.

What is supplied is the formed steel tread itself, model T42014 36 GL, in mill-galvanized finish. Bolts, nuts, and any stringer clips or angle needed to land it on your stair are separate, so add those to the order if the stair does not already have them.

Each tread weighs 3.8 lb, formed from 14 gauge steel. That is a one-hand lift, so a single installer can place and bolt treads on a stair run without rigging. The light weight is also why these get specified for retrofit work on existing stringers where you are swapping treads in place.

Yes, the tread is formed 14 gauge steel and can be cut with a metal-cutting saw. Because the galvanizing is mill applied, any cut edge exposes bare steel and should be touched up with a cold galvanizing compound if the stair sees moisture.
