B-LINE 53012 10 AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size opening or span does the B-Line Grip Strut five diamond plank cover?
Each Grip Strut plank runs 120 inches long and 11.75 inches wide, with a 3 inch channel size and 3 inch overall height. So one plank covers a 10 foot run and just under a foot of walking width. For wider walkways or platforms, planks are laid side by side, so figure your total width in multiples of 11.75 inches.
2) Is this grating OSHA compliant for a work platform walking surface?
Yes. The Grip Strut five diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and it is intended for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required. The five diamond pierced surface is what gives it the slip resistance, so it is the usual choice for catwalks, mezzanine walkways, stair treads and equipment platforms where a facility needs a documented non-slip walking surface.
3) How much does a 10 foot length of this aluminum Grip Strut plank weigh?
7 pounds for the full 120 inch plank. That is light enough to hand up a ladder or pass through a hatch without a lift, which is a large part of why aluminum gets specified for retrofit catwalk and platform work in occupied buildings. It also keeps added dead load on an existing mezzanine or roof structure minimal.
4) What is the 3 inch channel size on Grip Strut plank, and why does it matter for my supports?
The 3 inch figure is the depth of the formed channel on each side of the plank, and the plank's overall height is 3 inches. That channel is the structural member, so it bears on your cross supports and sets how far apart those supports can sit. Plan your support framing to catch the channel legs, not the diamond walking surface.
5) Does the B-Line Grip Strut plank come with mounting clips or fasteners?
No. Model 53012 10 AL is supplied as the bare 120 inch aluminum plank only. Hold-down clips, saddle clips, bolts and any cross supports or stringers are separate items, so add them to the order when you spec the planks.
6) What is the exact part number I should order for the 120 inch aluminum five diamond Grip Strut plank?
Order Eaton B-Line part number 53012 10 AL. That number covers the aluminum five diamond plank at 120 inch length, 11.75 inch width, 3 inch channel, .080 inch thick material.
7) Can Grip Strut plank be cut to length in the field?
Yes, aluminum plank at .080 inch material and 14 gauge cuts cleanly on site with a metal-cutting circular saw or bandsaw, so a 120 inch plank can be trimmed to a shorter bay. Cut ends need to land on a support, and file or deburr the cut so the diamond edge is not left sharp underfoot.
