B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut four diamond plank, 144" Grating length, 9.5" Grating width, Steel, 2" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, 14 gauge

Yes. The Eaton B-Line Grip Strut four diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the diamond-punched surface is made for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required. That is the reason it gets specified on elevated walkways, mezzanine landings, stair treads, and equipment access platforms.

Mill-galvanized steel is a pre-galvanized coating applied to the sheet before forming, which means the sheared edges and punched openings are raw steel. It handles normal industrial interior and sheltered exterior duty fine. For constant wet, coastal, or chemical wash-down service, specify a hot-dip galvanized-after-fabrication or stainless plank instead.

Channel depth sets how far the plank can span between supports before it needs intermediate steel. This one is a 2 inch channel in 14 gauge steel, the deeper of the common plank profiles, so it is the choice for longer clear spans between stringers or beams. Shallower channels are used where the framing is close together or where you need to keep the walking surface low relative to the supporting steel.

No fasteners are included with the plank itself. The 42014N 12 GL is supplied as the formed steel plank only, so order your hold-down clips, saddle washers, or weld-down attachment separately based on the supporting steel you are fastening to.

Yes, the 14 gauge steel plank can be cut on site to fit an opening or landing. Cutting exposes bare steel at the new edge because the mill-galvanized coating is on the sheet rather than applied after fabrication, so touch up field cuts with a cold galvanizing compound if the walkway sees moisture.
