B-LINE 42010 12 AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size opening or span does the B-Line Grip Strut four diamond plank cover?
Each Grip Strut plank runs 144 inches long and 9.5 inches wide, with a 2 inch channel depth. For a walkway wider than 9.5 inches, plan on laying multiple planks side by side to make up the width you need.
2) Is this Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for walkways and platforms?
Yes. The four diamond Grip Strut plank is OSHA compliant and is meant for safe, sturdy footing anywhere non-slip walking surface is required, such as catwalks, mezzanine walkways, and equipment platforms.
3) Will aluminum Grip Strut hold up in a wet or corrosive area, or should I use steel?
This plank is aluminum, so it resists corrosion without a coating, which suits wash-down areas, wastewater plants, coastal sites, and rooftop equipment access. Choose galvanized or stainless Grip Strut instead when the load or abrasion is heavier than aluminum handles, or where a facility standard calls for steel.
4) How thick is the metal on this B-Line Grip Strut plank?
It is formed from 12 gauge aluminum, about .100 inch material thickness, with the diamond openings punched and formed to create the raised non-slip surface.
5) What is the difference between a four diamond Grip Strut plank and a two or three diamond plank?
The diamond count describes how many rows of diamond openings run across the width of the plank, so it sets the walking width. Four diamond gives the 9.5 inch width here; narrower two and three diamond planks are used for single ladder rungs, stair treads, and tight equipment access, and wider planks or multiple planks are used for full walkways.
6) What is the part number to order this aluminum Grip Strut plank?
Order it as B-Line (Eaton) part 42010 12 AL, the four diamond aluminum plank at 144 inches long, 9.5 inches wide, 2 inch channel.
7) Does the Grip Strut plank come with clamps or fasteners to attach it to my support framing?
No fasteners are included with the plank itself. The 2 inch formed channel on each side is what you fasten through or clamp to your supports, so order hold-down clips or hardware separately to suit your beam or angle framing.
8) How much does one 12 foot Grip Strut plank weigh for handling and shipping?
The plank is listed at 1.74 lb per unit measure, and being aluminum it is light enough for one person to carry a 144 inch length up a ladder, which is a common reason crews pick aluminum over galvanized steel on retrofit work.
