B-LINE 81514 12 BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Eaton B-Line Grip Strut eight diamond plank walkway section?
Each Grip Strut eight diamond plank runs 144 inches long and 18.75 inches wide, with a 1.5 inch channel depth. That is a 12 foot run in one piece, so a catwalk or platform span up to 12 feet can be covered without a splice, and an 18.75 inch width gives a single-lane walkway.
2) Is Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for walking and working surfaces?
The B-Line Grip Strut plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the diamond serrated openings are the non-slip surface that compliance rests on. It is specified where safe, sturdy footing is required, so it suits catwalks, mezzanine walkways, platforms and stair treads in industrial plants.
3) Does the plain finish Grip Strut plank need painting or galvanizing for outdoor use?
Plain is bare steel with no protective coating applied, so it is meant for dry indoor or protected locations unless you field coat it. For wet, washdown, or exterior work, specify a galvanized or coated version of the Grip Strut plank instead of the plain one.
4) How heavy is a 12 foot Grip Strut plank to handle on site?
It is light for its size, 6.1 lb per plank, formed from 14 gauge steel. One person can carry and set a 12 foot section, which is the main reason crews pick formed plank over solid bar grating for elevated catwalk work.
5) What do I need to order besides the Grip Strut plank to build a walkway?
The plank is the walking surface only. You supply the supporting steel (channel, angle, or beam) and the fasteners or hold down clips that anchor the 1.5 inch deep channel legs to those supports. Handrail, kickplate, and any stair stringers are separate items as well.
6) Can I cut the Grip Strut plank down to a shorter length in the field?
Yes, the 144 inch plank is 14 gauge steel and can be cut to length on site with a metal saw. Keep in mind the finish is plain uncoated steel, so cut edges are raw either way, and cutting removes material between the support points, so set your bearing supports for the shortened piece.
7) What is the part number for the B-Line eight diamond Grip Strut plank in 144 inch length?
Order it as Eaton B-Line part 81514 12 BL: eight diamond Grip Strut plank, 144 inch length, 18.75 inch width, 14 gauge steel, plain finish, 1.5 inch channel.
