B-LINE 42512 12 BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for plant walkways and stair treads?
The Eaton B-Line Grip Strut four diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is built for safe, non-slip footing. The pierced diamond openings shed liquid, oil and debris rather than holding it, which is the reason it gets specified in wash-down areas, mechanical rooms and elevated maintenance platforms.
2) Does the plain finish Grip Strut plank need to be painted or galvanized before outdoor use?
Plain is bare steel with no coating applied, so it is intended for dry indoor service or for field painting. If the plank is going outdoors, in a wash-down area, or anywhere with chemical exposure, specify a coated version instead of trying to protect bare steel after install.
3) What gauge steel is B-Line Grip Strut plank and how much does a section weigh?
It is formed from 12 gauge steel, the heavier of the common Grip Strut gauges, and each section is listed at 5.7 lb. That weight matters when you are handing 12 foot lengths up to an elevated platform, and the 12 gauge material is what you want under regular foot traffic and rolling cart loads rather than occasional access.
4) What do I have to order separately to install Grip Strut plank?
The plank itself is the walking surface only. Support steel, hold-down clips or saddle clamps, and the fasteners that tie the plank to the framing are all separate items. Plan your supports so the 2.5 inch channel legs bear on the structure and the 144 inch length is picked up at the ends and at intermediate points to suit your load.
5) What is the correct part number for the 12 foot, 9.5 inch wide Grip Strut four diamond plank?
Order Eaton B-Line model 42512 12 BL. That number covers the four diamond plank in 12 gauge steel, plain finish, 144 inch length, 9.5 inch width, 2.5 inch channel.
6) Can Grip Strut plank be cut down to length on site?
Yes. It is a formed steel section 144 inches long, so it can be cut to fit an opening with a metal-cutting saw. Cut edges on plain, uncoated steel should be touched up with a field coating, since there is no factory finish carrying over the cut.
