B-LINE 52512 12 BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size opening or span does the B-Line Grip Strut five diamond plank cover?
Each Eaton B-Line Grip Strut five diamond plank runs 144 inches long and 11.75 inches wide, with a 2.5 inch channel depth. For a walkway wider than 11.75 inches you lay planks side by side, and the 12 foot length lets you cut to your support spacing rather than piecing short sections together.
2) Is this grating OSHA compliant for a plant walkway or catwalk?
Yes. The Grip Strut five diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is made for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip walking surface is required, which is the usual reason it gets specified for catwalks, platforms, and mezzanine runs.
3) Does the plain finish on this Grip Strut plank need painting or galvanizing before outdoor use?
The finish is plain steel, meaning bare, uncoated material. That is fine for dry interior service, but outdoors or in a washdown or corrosive area it will rust, so plan on field painting or specify a galvanized Grip Strut instead.
4) How heavy is a 12 foot Grip Strut plank, and can one person set it?
At 6.6 lb it is light enough for one person to carry and position a full 144 inch length, though the 11.75 inch width makes it awkward solo in wind or at height. That low weight is the point of 12 gauge formed steel plank over solid bar grating.
5) What does the 2.5 inch channel size mean for how this plank mounts to my supports?
The 2.5 inch figure is the depth of the formed side channels, so the plank sits 2.5 inches above the top of your supporting members. Allow for that height when you set stair stringers, support beam elevations, or handrail and toe board positions, and fasten through the channel legs at each support.
6) Why choose five diamond Grip Strut plank over bar grating for a maintenance platform?
Five diamond Grip Strut is a single piece of formed steel with punched diamond openings that give traction in every direction, and it comes as a ready 144 inch plank with integral 2.5 inch channel sides, so it spans between supports without a surrounding frame. Bar grating is the choice when you need heavy rolling loads or a specific open area; Grip Strut plank is the choice for foot traffic where non-slip footing and light weight matter.
7) Can this Grip Strut plank be cut to length on site?
Yes, 12 gauge steel plank cuts cleanly with an abrasive saw or metal blade. Cutting exposes bare edges on plain, uncoated material, so touch up cut ends if the plank is going anywhere damp.
