B-LINE MG92514FM 20 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does female/male interlock mean on Grate-Lock planks, and can I lay several side by side?
Each MG92514FM 20 plank carries a female edge on one side and a male edge on the other, so planks slide together edge to edge and lock into a continuous deck. Because both edges are present on every piece, you can run as many 9 inch wide planks alongside each other as the platform needs without ordering separate starter or closer pieces.
2) Is mill-galvanized Grate-Lock suitable for outdoor or wet areas?
The plank is carbon steel with a mill-galvanized finish, which is the zinc coating applied to the coil before forming. It handles damp and covered outdoor service and general industrial exposure. Sheared ends and punched openings expose bare steel, so for coastal, chemical, or constantly wet duty specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless walkway instead.
3) Is this the non-slip walkway grating for a catwalk or equipment platform?
Yes, the traction grip surface on Grate-Lock is made for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required, which is why it is used for catwalks, mezzanine walkways, equipment platforms, and service access over electrical and mechanical rooms. The raised traction pattern is formed into the plank itself, not a coating that wears off.
4) How does 14 gauge Grate-Lock compare to lighter gauge walkway plank?
MG92514FM 20 is formed from 14 gauge carbon steel, the heavier of the common walkway plank gauges, giving longer allowable spans between supports for the same deflection than a thinner gauge plank of the same 2.5 inch channel depth. Size your support spacing from Eaton B-Line load tables for 14 gauge, 2.5 inch deep plank, not from a lighter gauge chart.
5) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton B-Line grating plank?
Order it as Eaton B-Line MG92514FM 20. The code reads out as mill-galvanized (MG), 9 inch width, 2.5 inch channel, 14 gauge, female/male interlock, 20 foot length. That is the only configuration this part number covers.
6) Can Grate-Lock plank be cut to length in the field?
Yes. The 240 inch plank is carbon steel and is routinely cut on site with an abrasive saw or band saw to suit the platform run. Prime or cold-galvanize the cut ends, since the mill-galvanized finish only protects the original coil surface.
