B-LINE 22512 12 BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size opening or span does the B-Line Grip Strut two diamond plank cover?
The Grip Strut two diamond plank runs 144 inches long (12 feet) and 4.75 inches wide, with a 2.5 inch channel depth. That 4.75 inch width is a single walking plank, so for a wider walkway or platform you run multiple planks side by side rather than one wide piece.
2) Is this Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for walkways and work platforms?
Yes. The B-Line Grip Strut two diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is intended for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip surfaces are required, which is why it gets specified for catwalks, mezzanine runs, equipment platforms and stair treads.
3) What is the difference between a two diamond Grip Strut plank and a wider three or four diamond plank?
The diamond count describes how many rows of pierced diamond openings run across the width of the plank. This two diamond version is 4.75 inches wide, which suits a narrow catwalk, a stair tread, a ladder rung run, or a walking surface built up from several planks laid side by side. If you want to cover a wide platform with fewer pieces and fewer supports to fasten to, a plank with more diamond rows across gives you more width per piece. The channel depth here is 2.5 inches, which is what carries the load between supports.
4) What gauge and material is the B-Line 22512 12 BL Grip Strut plank?
It is 12 gauge steel with a plain (uncoated) finish. Plain steel is fine for dry interior use, but for outdoor, washdown or corrosive areas you want a galvanized or coated plank instead, since a plain finish will rust once it is exposed.
5) Does Grip Strut plank need a subframe, or can it span on its own?
It is not a self supporting deck. The 2.5 inch formed channel on each side is the structural element and it has to land on supports at each end, so you frame with angle, channel or beam underneath and fasten the plank down to it. Fasteners and support steel are separate items and are not part of the plank.
6) Why is Grip Strut used instead of bar grating or plate on a work platform?
The surface is pierced and formed into raised diamond openings, so debris, water, oil and snow fall through instead of sitting on the walkway, and the serrated edges of each opening give traction in four directions. That is the reason it is specified where non-slip footing is required. Plate decking holds whatever lands on it, and smooth plate gets slick as soon as it is wet.
7) Can I cut a 12 foot Grip Strut plank down to length in the field?
Yes, it is 12 gauge steel and gets cut to length on the job regularly. Cut it with a metal cutting saw and note that the finish here is plain, so cut ends and drilled holes are raw steel either way, unlike a galvanized plank where cuts need touch up.
