FAQs
Yes. The 52514 8 BL Grip Strut is designed for standard Eaton B-Line 2.5" channel framing, enabling straightforward integration with existing channel hardware. This compatibility reduces the need for custom adapters and minimizes field labor during installation, speeding up project timelines.
The five-diamond Grip Strut pattern provides enhanced traction on wet or oily surfaces, significantly reducing slip risk in busy industrial areas. While exact coefficients of friction may vary by surface conditions, the pattern is widely regarded as a high-traction standard for safety grating in walkways and platforms.
Best applications include industrial walkways, mezzanines, and platform decking in manufacturing, warehousing, and maintenance environments. The 96 inch length minimizes joints, making it ideal for large-area coverage with fewer seams, which also lowers maintenance needs over time.
The data confirms OSHA Compliant status. For projects requiring SIL, CE, or IP certifications, verify with your procurement team or Eaton label documentation to confirm full compliance, as these ratings are not indicated in the provided spec.
The 14 gauge steel construction provides robust durability under heavy foot traffic, lowering replacement frequency. The plain finish offers flexibility for site coatings or maintenance routines, and the 96 inch length reduces seam-related maintenance, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership.
