B-LINE 42012 12 AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size is the B-Line Grip Strut four diamond plank, model 42012 12 AL?
It runs 144 inches long and 9.5 inches wide, with a 2 inch channel size and a 2 inch overall height. That gives you a 12 foot walkway run in a single piece, so a 12 foot span between supports needs no splice at midspan. The 9.5 inch width is the deciding number if you are ganging planks side by side to make up a wider platform.
2) Does this Grip Strut plank meet OSHA walking surface requirements?
The plank is listed as OSHA Compliant, and the four diamond perforated surface is the reason: the raised diamond openings shed liquid and debris and give traction from any approach direction. It is specified for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required, which covers catwalks, platforms, stair treads and equipment access walkways.
3) Is aluminum Grip Strut plank the right choice for a wet or corrosive outdoor catwalk?
Aluminum is the material here, which is what you pick for outdoor, washdown, and corrosive environments where a plain steel plank would need coating maintenance. It is also the lighter option to carry up a ladder or onto a roof. If your concern is instead heavy rolling loads or point impact in an industrial plant, a steel or galvanized plank is the usual call.
4) How thick is the metal on this B-Line four diamond plank?
It is formed from 14 gauge aluminum, described as .080 inch material thickness. That is the figure to check against a drawing that calls out a plank gauge, and it is the same number that governs how the diamond openings are punched and formed.
5) What do I order to mount Grip Strut plank to my support steel?
The plank itself, model 42012 12 AL, ships as the grating section only. Clips, hold down fasteners and any support framing are separate line items, so plan on ordering the attachment hardware that suits your support member along with the plank. The 2 inch channel depth on each side is what those clips grab.
6) Is this plank the same thing as bar grating, and when would I use one over the other?
No. Grip Strut plank is a single formed sheet with punched diamond openings and a 2 inch turned down channel on each edge, so it acts as its own structural member across a span. Bar grating is a welded assembly of bearing bars and needs a frame all around. Plank is the usual pick for narrow walkways, stair treads and equipment access at a 9.5 inch width; bar grating is what you use for large open platform areas.
