Long-term maintenance of grating installations Jarred loose by sharp side impact to the lower unit. The clip is then often not removable by normal methods, and must instead be
This can cause some stretching of the threads, which provides an even higher resistance to Movements, G-Clips stainless steel models can be installed at 200 inch/ pounds of torque. The clip is still removable and reusable.įor more severe site conditions, such as large and regular variations or structural Stainless steel models can be torqued to 150 inch/ pounds at installation For more severe condition, stainless steel models can be used. Torque of 100 inch/ pounds is reasonable, and 130 inch/ pounds cause no damage to the Galvanized, carbon steel models are suitable, and can be installed at a greater torque value. This is sufficient to allow the clips to resist typical vibration and stress loads to which grating is often subjected.įor difficult site conditions, such as greater than normal vibrations, G-Clips When fully tightenedīy the average installer, a torque value of approximately 58 inch/ pounds torque is realized,Īccording to tests. G-Clips should be tightened by hand, using a 7/16″ nut driver. Notes: *denotes a dimension not contained in some models A hex-headed cap screw connects the two, and its length suits the grating height being installed. Second, a G-Clips patented bottom connects to the beam underside. First is a G-Clips unique top for better holding strength and to suit 19W4 grating. The model GG- describes an assembly of fastener parts identical but for materials of construction, that each contain three common parts. Fastens grating to a horizontal-facing steel structural member edge.
