Description
A 316 stainless steel clip set for fixing open mesh steel grating down to the steel beams below, fitted from the top of the floor. It suits gratings with load bars at 30mm to 41mm centres (30/100 to 41/100 mesh) and load bars up to 50mm deep. Each set is a curved top saddle that sits over the load bars, a slotted clamp arm that grips the steelwork underneath, an M8 stainless socket cap screw and an M8 nyloc nut. The price shown is for one clip set, minimum order 10.

| Screw and nut | M8 hex socket cap screw, 77mm overall, and an M8 nyloc nut |
| Not included | The grating and the steelwork |
Why choose this clip
Fitted from one side. The whole fixing is done from on top of the floor, so there is no need to get underneath the platform, drill the steelwork or weld. That makes it quick on walkways over tanks, water and plant, where the underside is hard to reach.
Adjusts to the steelwork. The 50mm slot in the clamp arm lets it slide towards the beam, so it can take up the gap between the screw position in the mesh and the edge of the supporting steel.
A nyloc nut that stays put. The nylon insert grips the thread, so vibration from plant and foot traffic is less likely to loosen the fixing.
316 for wet, coastal and wash-down sites. 316 stainless contains molybdenum, which gives it much better resistance to salt and chlorides than 304 or galvanised steel. It is the clip to choose on stainless or aluminium grating, on coastal and marine platforms, at water and sewage works, and on food and chemical plant floors that are washed down.

Is this the right clip?
Measure the distance between the centres of two load bars (the deep bars that carry the load) and their depth first.

Fitting
Lay the grating panel on the supporting steel. At each fixing point, set the top saddle across the load bars over the beam, pass the screw down through the saddle and the mesh beside the beam flange, and through the slot in the clamp arm below. Slide the arm up to the steelwork so it grips the flange, run on the nyloc nut and tighten from above with a 6mm hex key until the panel is held firmly down. Fix every panel at each support as your grating supplier's fixing layout shows, and check the clips after the first few weeks of use.
Care
316 needs little care, but salt, chlorides and grime left to dry on any stainless can mark it. Hose the clips down with the floor during routine cleaning, and check the screws are still tight when the grating is inspected.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one clip?
Yes, one complete clip set: saddle, clamp arm, screw and nut. The minimum order is 10.
What does 30/100 to 41/100 mean?
It is the grating mesh: load bars at 30mm to 41mm centres, with cross bars at 100mm centres. Measure your grating from the middle of one load bar to the middle of the next.
How deep can the grating be?
The clip suits load bars up to 50mm deep.
Do I need to get under the floor to fit it?
No. It is designed to be fitted from one side only, from on top of the grating.
Should I use stainless or galvanised clips?
Use these 316 clips on stainless or aluminium grating and wherever there is salt, chemicals or regular wash-down. On galvanised grating in a dry or general site, the galvanised clip does the same job for less.
