B-LINE 82014 12 BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for walkway and platform use?
The Grip Strut eight diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the diamond openings give the non-slip footing that walking and working surfaces call for. That is the reason it gets specified on catwalks, mezzanine platforms, and equipment access walkways rather than plain sheet.
2) What does Plain finish mean on this Grip Strut plank, and can I use it outdoors?
Plain finish is bare, uncoated steel with no galvanizing or paint on it. For indoor dry areas that is normally fine, but for exterior, washdown, or corrosive environments you want a galvanized or coated version instead, or you field paint the plain steel after install.
3) What gauge steel is the B-Line eight diamond Grip Strut plank made from?
It is formed from 14 gauge steel, cold formed into the 2 inch deep channel section with eight rows of diamond openings across the 18.75 inch width. The formed channel edges are what carry the load, so the gauge and the 2 inch depth together set your allowable span between supports.
4) How much clearance do I need below a Grip Strut plank walkway?
The plank stands 2 inches tall, matching the 2 inch channel size, so allow 2 inches of build-up above your supporting steel plus whatever your clips or fasteners add. Worth checking against headroom and door swing if the walkway runs past an access door.
5) Does the Grip Strut plank come with mounting clips or fasteners?
The order is for the plank itself, model 82014 12 BL, in a 144 inch length. Hold-down clips, saddle washers, or weld attachment are handled separately, so plan on specifying your attachment hardware along with the supporting steel.
6) How heavy is a Grip Strut plank and can one person set it in place?
A plank weighs 6.3 lb, so a single installer can carry and position a 12 foot section by hand. That light weight is one of the reasons plank gets used over bar grating on retrofit catwalks where you are handing material up a ladder or through an existing opening.
7) Can Grip Strut plank be cut to length in the field?
Yes. It is 14 gauge steel plank, so a bandsaw or abrasive chop cut takes it down to your opening dimension from the 144 inch stock length. On plain uncoated steel you will want to prime or paint the cut edge, since there is no factory coating there to touch up.
