B-LINE 51512 12 BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size opening does the B-Line Grip Strut five diamond plank cover, and how long is one piece?
Each Grip Strut plank runs 144 inches long and 11.75 inches wide, with a 1.5 inch channel depth. So one piece spans a 12 foot run and covers just under a foot of walkway width. For a wider catwalk you set planks side by side and add up the 11.75 inch widths.
2) Is this Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for walking and working surfaces?
Yes. The B-Line Grip Strut five diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is intended for safe, sturdy footing where a non-slip surface is required. That covers catwalks, platforms, stair treads and equipment access walkways.
3) What does "plain" finish mean on this Grip Strut plank, and can I use it outdoors?
Plain means bare steel with no galvanizing or paint applied. It is the right choice for dry interior use, or where you intend to prime and paint it yourself after cutting and fitting. For exposed outdoor or wash-down areas, specify a galvanized or coated Grip Strut instead, because untreated steel will corrode.
4) How heavy is a 12 foot Grip Strut plank to handle on site?
A single 144 inch plank weighs 5.9 lb, so one person can carry and place it. That light weight is why Grip Strut gets used for elevated platforms and mezzanine walkways where added dead load matters.
5) What gauge steel is the B-Line Grip Strut plank, and can it be cut to length in the field?
It is 12 gauge steel, the heavier of the common Grip Strut gauges. At 12 gauge you cut it with a metal-cutting saw or torch, not with snips. Since the finish is plain uncoated steel, cut ends need no touch-up of a coating, though you should prime them if the plank will be painted.
6) How much clearance do I need under a Grip Strut plank walkway?
Allow at least 1.5 inches of depth below the walking surface. The plank's formed channel is 1.5 inches high, which is the dimension that sets your support spacing height and the step-up at the edge of the walkway.
