B-LINE 52012 10 BL – 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 by 11.75 inches wide, with a 2 inch channel depth. For a walkway wider than 11.75 inches, planks are laid side by side across the supports to make up the width you need.
2) Is B-Line Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for walkways and platforms?
Yes, the Grip Strut five diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the serrated diamond openings are the non-slip surface that compliance rests on. It is the usual choice for catwalks, mezzanine walkways, stair treads and equipment platforms where footing has to stay secure when wet or oily.
3) Is the plain finish Grip Strut plank OK for outdoor or wet locations?
Plain finish means bare, uncoated steel, so it has no corrosion protection as supplied. Indoors and in dry, sheltered areas it is fine. For exterior, washdown, or corrosive service you want a galvanized or stainless version of the same five diamond plank rather than the plain one, or you need to paint or coat it after install.
4) How heavy is a 10 foot Grip Strut plank to handle on site?
A single 120 inch plank weighs 6.2 lb, so one person can carry and set it without a lift. That light handling weight is a large part of why the formed 12 gauge plank gets used over solid plate on elevated platforms.
5) What does 12 gauge mean for how far apart I can set supports under Grip Strut?
The plank is formed from 12 gauge steel with a 2 inch deep channel, and it is that channel depth, not the flat sheet, that carries the load between supports. Heavier gauge and deeper channel both let you stretch the span; lighter gauge planks need supports closer together. Set your support spacing from the load table for the gauge and channel depth you are buying, and run the 2 inch legs perpendicular to the supports.
6) Does the Grip Strut plank come with clips or fasteners to attach it?
The 52012 10 BL plank ships as the plank only. Hold-down clips, bolts, or weld attachment to the supporting steel are ordered separately and picked to suit the support member you are fastening to.
7) How much height does Grip Strut plank add on top of my supporting steel?
Figure 2 inches. The plank stands 2 inches tall from the support surface to the walking surface, which is what you deduct when you are setting platform elevation or matching a landing height at a door threshold.
8) Can Grip Strut five diamond plank be cut to length in the field?
Yes. The 120 inch plank is carbon steel and gets cut down on site with a saw or torch to fit the run. Cut ends on a plain finish plank are bare steel, same as the rest of the plank, so if the area is at all damp you want to touch them up.
9) What is the correct part number to reorder more of this B-Line grating?
Order Eaton B-Line part 52012 10 BL for the five diamond Grip Strut plank in 120 inch length, 11.75 inch width, 12 gauge plain steel with a 2 inch channel.
