Clips and fasteners come in a variety of styles and sizes. The most common styles are shown below. When you specify a specific style of clip or fastener, the quote you receive will include the exact clip size appropriate for your grating.
Note: Steel fasteners used on aluminum or galvanized steel gratings must be galvanized.
Notching bearing bars to adjust the grating so that it is flush with the elevation is not recommended. Similarly, grating which is welded to an angle or toe plate and supported by the weld rather than the bearing bar surface is not recommended and should not be specified. Best results are obtained by always specifying the bearing bar height that results in the proper height of the grating surface
GRATE-LOCK® Hold-down Clamps are used with hex head bolts in order to secure intermediate planks to supports. They are offered in heights of 2-1/2", 3" and 4".
Clamps prevent grating from shifting on supports and hold pieces together with or without clearance between panels. All bolts are below the top surface of grating. No holes are drilling into supporting members.
