INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - STAINLESS STEEL GRATING AND FRAMES
The installation of grating with an aluminum or stainless frame is relatively simple. However,
attention to detail can make the difference between a firm, well-installed grating, or one that
appears loose, spongy, and could rattle.
UNCRATING UNITS
Check all grating crates/boxes per packing slip and shop drawing:
1.
• Correct number of units and frames (if applicable).
• Hardware package (if applicable).
Check all merchandise for damage (If damaged, report freight claim immediately- DO NOT

step.
• Depending on the size, the units may consist of more than one frame section.
• When removing the grating panels from their frames, grating may appear to be warped.
This is normal and will be corrected with the installation of the locking devices.
• NOTE: Because the grating panels were fabricated to fit each specific frame
section, each panel must be installed into the same frame section in which it was
shipped. Not doing this will result in improper installation.
• By following the markings on each frame section, fasten the frame sections together with
the hardware provided.
Grouting straps (if applicable): For aluminum frames, install 4" grouting straps into the

threaded channel located on the outside of the frame (the channel located on the underside
of the frame may be used also) on 2' centers. The grouting straps for stainless steel frames
are welded to the underside of the perimeter angles. Bend straps as needed.
Ensure the frames are adequately blocked.
