B-LINE 52016F 12 SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size opening or span does the B-Line Grip Strut 52016F 12 SS plank cover?
The Grip Strut five diamond plank 52016F 12 SS runs 144 inches long by 11.75 inches wide, with a 2 inch channel depth. That is a 12 foot walkway section just under a foot wide, so covering a wider catwalk means running planks side by side. The 2 inch channel forms the side rails that carry the span between supports.
2) Is this Grip Strut plank stainless steel or plain carbon steel?
It is type 304 stainless. The plank is steel, formed in 16 gauge, with a stainless steel type 304 material designation, which is why the SS suffix appears on model 52016F 12 SS. For wash-down areas, food or chemical plants, coastal sites and wastewater platforms that is the version you want. If the environment is dry indoor plant floor, a galvanized or pre-galvanized Grip Strut plank does the same job.
3) Does Grip Strut plank meet OSHA walking surface requirements?
The plank is listed as OSHA Compliant. The five diamond serrated openings give the non-slip footing OSHA looks for on elevated work platforms, stair treads and catwalks, in all directions of travel. That is the reason facilities specify it for ladder landings and mezzanine walkways rather than smooth plate.
4) How much does a 12 foot Grip Strut plank weigh for handling and rooftop loads?
Listed weight is 3.7 lb, so a single 12 foot section is a one or two man carry up a ladder without rigging. Light weight is part of why 16 gauge Grip Strut gets used for rooftop equipment access walkways where dead load on the deck matters.
5) Can Grip Strut plank be cut to length on site?
Yes. It ships as a 144 inch section and installers routinely cut it down with a metal-cutting saw to suit the run. Keep in mind the 2 inch formed channel on each edge is what carries the load, so cut across the width, not along the length, and keep the side channels intact. Cut ends on the type 304 stainless should be deburred.
6) Is this the same as bar grating, and when should I use plank instead?
Grip Strut plank is a single formed sheet with punched serrated diamond openings and 2 inch channel legs on the edges, not welded bar grating. Plank suits narrower runs, stair treads, ladder landings and equipment access walkways where you want a light, self-supporting 11.75 inch wide piece. For wide open floor areas carrying heavy rolling loads, welded bar grating in a steel frame is the usual choice.
