For connecting close mesh bar grating to supporting steel without the need to drill or weld.
Access to the underside of the flooring is not required so steel grating can be quickly and easily installed by one person from above.
The product features a low-profile bracket that locates on the bearing bars of the grating. When the socket cap screw is tightened, the high strength cast body rotates and locks underneath both the bearing bar and the supporting steel to firmly secure the flooring.

Adjust the Grate-Fast® casting so the distance between the bracket and the body is approximately the same as the grating height and flange combined.
1)Position the pre-assembled Grate-Fast® with the body between the grating bars and the nose pointing towards the steel. The arrows on the casting should point towards the supporting steel and the bracket resting on the bearing bars. (Figure 1)
lide the Grate-Fast® towards the steel until the nose fits under the beam flange. Where necessary adjust the body or screw to the approximate flange thickness / grating depth. (Figure 2)
Tighten the screw. The Grate-Fast® body will automatically rotate until it locks under the bearing bar, with the nose under the flange. Continue tightening to the recommended torque. (Figure 3)
