B-LINE 32514 10 BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size walkway does one piece of B-Line Grip Strut three diamond plank cover?
Each Eaton B-Line Grip Strut three diamond plank is 120 inches long by 7 inches wide, with a 2.5 inch channel size (the same 2.5 inch product height). So one piece runs a 10 foot span and gives you a 7 inch wide tread path. For a wider platform, run planks side by side to build up the width you need.
2) Is Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for catwalks and work platforms?
Yes. The B-Line Grip Strut three diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the diamond openings are the non-slip surface it is built around: safe, sturdy footing where slip resistance is required. That is the usual reason it gets specified for catwalks, mezzanine walkways, stair treads and equipment platforms.
3) What does "Plain" finish mean on this Grip Strut plank, and can I use it outdoors?
Plain is bare, uncoated steel with no galvanizing or paint applied. For interior, dry service it works as is. Anywhere exposed to weather, washdown or corrosive atmosphere, you want a galvanized or coated version of Grip Strut instead, or you will need to field-paint the plain steel before it goes in.
4) Grip Strut plank or bar grating: which should I use for a mechanical mezzanine walkway?
Grip Strut plank is a one-piece formed steel section with turned-down 2.5 inch side channels that act as the load-carrying members, so it spans between supports on its own and bolts straight down to the framing. Bar grating needs a banded panel and saddle clips and is the heavier option when you are covering large open floor areas. For a narrow run, a stair tread, or a service walk to a rooftop unit, the 7 inch wide plank is the simpler install.
5) What is the exact part number for the 7 inch wide, 10 foot Grip Strut plank?
Order Eaton B-Line model 32514 10 BL. That is the three diamond plank in 14 gauge steel, plain finish, 7 inch grating width, 120 inch grating length, 2.5 inch channel.
6) How heavy is a 10 foot piece of Grip Strut plank to handle on site?
The 14 gauge steel plank is listed at 3.5 lb, so a 10 foot length is a one-man carry up a ladder or through a hatch. That light weight is part of why Grip Strut gets used for retrofit walkways where you cannot crane in bar grating.
7) Can I cut B-Line Grip Strut plank to length in the field?
Yes. It is 14 gauge plain steel, so it cuts with a metal-cutting saw or shear on site and you trim the 120 inch stock to your support spacing. Cutting exposes raw edges on the plain, uncoated steel, so touch them up if the run sees any moisture.
