B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut three diamond plank, 144" Grating length, 7" Grating width, Steel, 2" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, Grip Strut, 14 gau

The Grip Strut three diamond plank runs 144 inches long by 7 inches wide, with a 2 inch channel size and 2 inch product height. That 12 foot length is the piece as supplied, so for a longer run you cut or butt planks; for a wider walking surface you lay multiple 7 inch planks side by side.

Yes. The Grip Strut three diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is intended for safe, sturdy footing where a non-slip surface is required, which is what plant catwalks, platforms and stair treads call for.

The plank is 14 gauge steel with a mill-galvanized finish, meaning the zinc coating was applied to the coil before forming. That handles normal industrial and sheltered outdoor exposure. Cut ends and punched edges are bare steel after fabrication, so in constant wet or wash-down service expect edge rusting unless you touch up with a cold galvanizing compound.

Order Eaton B-Line model 32014 12 GL. That designation covers the three diamond plank in 14 gauge steel, 7 inch width, 144 inch length, mill-galvanized.

It needs support. The plank is a 2 inch deep channel-formed walking surface, not a structural beam, so it sits on framing or stringers and is fastened down. Plan your support spacing from the design load for the platform and specify clips or fasteners separately, since they are not part of the plank.

The diamond count describes how many rows of pierced, raised diamond openings run across the width of the plank. Three diamond gives the 7 inch width here, which suits catwalks and platforms where you want a walking-width piece. Narrower one and two diamond planks are the usual choice for stair treads and tight ledges.

Listed weight is 3.2 lb, so one man can carry and set a plank without a lift. The open diamond surface is why it stays light for a 12 foot piece of 14 gauge steel.
