B-LINE 32012N 12 BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size opening or span does the B-Line Grip Strut three diamond plank 32012N 12 BL cover?
The plank runs 144 inches long by 7 inches wide, with a 2 inch channel depth. That 7 inch width is the walking surface per piece, so wider walkways are built by laying planks side by side across the supports. The 2 inch channel legs are what sit on and bolt to your framing, so allow for that 2 inch height above the support steel when you figure finished walking elevation.
2) Is Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for a plant walkway or catwalk?
Yes. The three diamond Grip Strut plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the serrated diamond openings are the non-slip surface OSHA-style walking and working surfaces call for. Facility and MRO buyers standardizing on one walkway product across a plant can use the same 7 inch wide, 12 gauge steel plank throughout.
3) Does the plain finish Grip Strut plank need painting if it goes outdoors?
Plain is bare, uncoated steel, so it has no corrosion protection as shipped. Indoors in a dry plant it is fine as is. For exterior, washdown, or corrosive service, either field paint it or specify a galvanized or coated Grip Strut plank instead of the plain version.
4) What is the difference between three diamond Grip Strut plank and a two or four diamond version?
The diamond count describes how many rows of serrated diamond openings run across the walking width. Three diamond on this plank gives a 7 inch wide surface. Fewer diamonds means a narrower plank for tight runs and single-file access; more diamonds means a wider plank and fewer pieces to cover a broad walkway. All of them share the same non-slip serrated surface, so pick the width that matches your support spacing and walkway layout.
5) How much does a 12 foot Grip Strut plank weigh for one man to carry up a ladder?
Listed weight is 4.5 lb, which is what makes 12 foot lengths practical to hand up to a platform or pass through a hatch without rigging. Steel, 12 gauge, 144 inches long.
6) Can I cut the 144 inch Grip Strut plank down on site?
Yes. It is 12 gauge steel and routinely field cut to length with a chop saw or bandsaw to fit between supports. Because the 32012N 12 BL is supplied plain, uncoated steel, prime or paint the cut ends if the run sees any moisture.
7) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton B-Line Grip Strut plank?
