B-LINE 42512 10 BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for walkway and platform use?
The Grip Strut four diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is made for safe, sturdy footing where a non-slip surface is required. The serrated diamond openings shed water, oil, mud and chips rather than holding them on the surface, which is why it gets specified for elevated platforms, catwalks, stair treads and mezzanine walkways.
2) What does "plain" finish mean on B-Line Grip Strut, and can I use it outdoors?
Plain is bare steel with no galvanizing, paint or coating applied. That is fine for dry interior plant, equipment platforms and indoor mezzanines, but it will rust in weather or in a washdown or chemical area. For exterior or damp service, order a galvanized or coated version of the plank instead of the plain one.
3) How heavy is a 10 foot Grip Strut plank, and can one person carry it?
The 120 inch plank weighs 5.7 lb, so one worker can carry it up a ladder or hand it up to a platform without a lift. That low weight is the reason Grip Strut planking gets used on retrofit catwalks where added dead load on existing framing is a concern.
4) What gauge steel is the B-Line four diamond Grip Strut plank made from?
It is formed from 12 gauge steel, the heavier of the common Grip Strut gauges, with a 2.5 inch deep channel on each side that acts as the load-carrying section. The four diamond width means four rows of serrated diamond openings across the 9.5 inch walking surface.
5) Does the Grip Strut plank come with clips or fasteners for attaching it to the supports?
No hardware is included. The plank is supplied on its own, model 42512 10 BL, so order your grating clips, hold-down saddles or self-drilling fasteners separately to suit whether you are landing it on steel angle, bar joist or channel framing.
6) What is the exact part number to order this 9.5 inch wide plain steel Grip Strut plank?
Order Eaton B-Line part number 42512 10 BL. That number is the four diamond plank, 120 inch length, 9.5 inch width, 2.5 inch channel, 12 gauge steel, plain finish. Grip Strut planks change part number with width, channel depth, gauge and finish, so match the full number rather than just the width.
7) Can I cut B-Line Grip Strut planking to length on site?
Yes. The plank ships as a 120 inch length of 12 gauge steel and is routinely cut down on site with a chop saw or bandsaw to suit the support spacing. If you cut it, touch up or protect the cut edges, because the plain finish has no coating to resist corrosion at a raw edge.
