B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut four diamond plank, 144" Grating length, 9.5" Grating width, Steel, 1.5" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, Grip Strut, 14

Yes. The four diamond Grip Strut plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is made for safe, sturdy footing where a non-slip surface is required, which is why it gets used on catwalks, platforms, stair treads and equipment access walkways.

Mill-galvanized is the finish on this 14 gauge steel plank. The zinc coating is applied to the coil before the plank is formed, so the sheared edges and punched openings are bare steel. That is fine for covered, damp or industrial interiors and light outdoor exposure, but for constant weather, washdown or corrosive chemical service you want a hot-dip galvanized or stainless plank instead.

Order it as Eaton B-Line part number 41514 12 GL. That covers the 14 gauge steel four diamond plank, 9.5 inches wide by 144 inches long, 1.5 inch channel, mill-galvanized. There is one configuration, so there are no finish or length options to specify.

The plank ships as the formed steel panel only. Saddle clips, hold-down clips, self-drilling fasteners or welds to attach it to your support steel are ordered separately, so plan on hardware at each bearing point when you quote the job.

Four diamond refers to the number of rows of the pierced, serrated diamond openings across the width of the plank. Four rows fill out the 9.5 inch width of this piece. More diamond rows means a wider plank; a two diamond piece is narrower and typically used as a stair tread rather than deck.

Yes, the 14 gauge steel plank cuts with a bandsaw or abrasive chop saw to fit a shorter bay out of the 144 inch length. Because the finish is mill-galvanized and the cut ends will be bare steel, hit them with a cold galvanizing compound if the area sees any moisture.
