B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut four diamond plank, 120" Grating length, 9.5" Grating width, Steel, 2" Channel size, Stainless steel type 304, Grip Str

The Grip Strut four diamond plank runs 120 inches long with a 9.5 inch walking width, and the channel depth is 2 inches. That 2 inch channel is the full height of the plank, so it needs 2 inches of clearance above whatever support steel it lands on. Formed from 16 gauge steel.

Material is steel in a stainless steel type 304 finish. Type 304 is the common corrosion resistant grade for wet and washdown areas, so it holds up better than a painted or plain carbon plank in exterior catwalks, water treatment, and food or chemical process spaces.

The four diamond Grip Strut plank is OSHA compliant and is intended for safe, sturdy footing where a non-slip surface is required. The pierced diamond openings shed water, oil, mud, and ice, which is why it gets specified for catwalks, platforms, and stair treads instead of smooth plate.

Four diamond refers to the number of diamond rows across the plank, which is what sets the 9.5 inch width. Use this width for platform and catwalk decking where you want fewer pieces to lay across a run. For a single stair tread you generally want a purpose made tread with nosing and integral end plates rather than a 120 inch plank cut down, and for a narrow walkway ledge a two or three diamond plank covers it with less material.

The 42016 10 SS is supplied as the plank alone. You still need the support framing and the hold down hardware, and in a 304 stainless application you want the clips, bolts, and saddle washers in a matching stainless grade so you are not introducing a carbon steel fastener that rusts out before the deck does.

Order Eaton B-Line part 42016 10 SS for the four diamond plank, 120 inches long, 9.5 inches wide, 2 inch channel, 16 gauge, type 304 stainless. If you are matching an existing run, check the channel depth on what is in place first, because a 2 inch channel plank will not sit flush alongside a deeper channel section.

Yes, it is a one man piece. The plank is listed at 3.2 lb, since 16 gauge formed steel with pierced openings takes a lot of weight out compared with bar grating. That matters on retrofit work where you are handing planks up a ladder or into an existing structure with no crane access.
