Performance: 312 PSFU (14.9 kN/m2) uniform loading* (SF [Safety Factor] + 6:1) , 700 PSC (10.2 kN/m) concentrated loading* (SF + 5:1) *Based on a deflection of .25 in or 6 mm Installation: DURAGRID® Phenolic installs the same way steel grating is installed. The bearing bar is the load carrying member which runs between supports. This is the panel length and is typically designated with a (BB) after the dimension to avoid confusion. DURAGRID® Phenolic does not require any banding after cutting. Loads are effectively transferred by a series of cross-rods spaced every 6” (150 mm) (sometimes referred to as “cross-rod pitch”). Installation is easy; the grating can be cut using simple hand tools such as a circular saw (diamond or masonry blades suggested) or a jig saw (carbide grit blades suggested). Panels are lightweight – single panels are typically moved by hand. When ordering, please specify: Square Foot (SF) or Square Meter (M²) Measurements of the areas that needs grating, Hardware (Part # 744 clip & 797 bolt set) – 4 clips per panel or 4 clips per M2
