B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut four diamond plank, 120" Grating length, 9.5" Grating width, Steel, 2" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, 12 gauge steel

Yes. This B-Line Grip Strut plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the diamond-pierced surface is built to give non-slip footing where safe, sturdy footing is required. That is the reason it gets specified for catwalks, mezzanine walkways, equipment platforms and stair treads in plants and utility spaces.

Mill-galvanized is the standard finish here, formed from 12 gauge steel. Mill-galvanized coating suits dry interior and sheltered exterior service. For constant wetting, chemical exposure or coastal air, spec a hot-dip galvanized after fabrication or stainless plank instead, because the cut edges on a mill-galvanized part are bare steel.

The diamond count describes how many rows of pierced diamonds run across the width of the plank. Four diamond gives the 9.5 inch walking width here; narrower two and three diamond sections cover less width per piece and are used for stair treads and tight runs. Pick the diamond count by the width you need to cover, then match the 2 inch channel depth to your support spacing.

No fasteners are included. The plank is supplied as the 120 inch formed steel section only, model 42012F 10 GL. You will need to order hold-down clips, saddle washers or weld it down separately depending on how your supports are built.

Yes, the 12 gauge steel plank cuts with a bandsaw, chop saw with an abrasive wheel, or plasma. Since the finish is mill-galvanized, touch the cut ends with a cold galvanizing compound so the raw edge does not start rusting.

B-Line is Eaton's strut and support line, and Grip Strut plank gets used heavily on rooftop equipment walkways, transformer and switchgear platforms, and cable tray access catwalks. Same trades, same job sites, which is why it sits alongside strut channel and tray rather than with general building materials.
