Find your grating type in the chart to see which FastGrate clips fit it and the bearing bar depths each clip covers. Standard 19-W-4 grating has the widest choice; odd-spaced grating needs a wide-top clip, and fiberglass grating uses M clips.
Bearing bars: ~1-3/16" bearing bar centers (19 bars per section). Typical use: General industrial platforms, walkways, and mezzanines.

|---|---|---|
| U CLIPS (Universal Grating Clips) | 3/4" to 2" bearing bar depth | From above with a standard wrench |
| R CLIPS (Odd-Spaced Grating Clips) | 1" to 1-1/2" bearing bar depth | From above with a standard wrench |
| S CLIPS (Heavy-Duty Multi-Wing Clips) | 1" to 2-1/2" bearing bar depth | Multi-point retention |
| A CLIPS (Self-Locking Bolt-On Clips) | 3/4" to 1-3/4" bearing bar depth | Fast bolt-on |
| N CLIPS (Saddle Clips) | Universal fit 3/4" to 2" | Traditional saddle mount |
| H CLIPS (Economy Grating Clips) | 3/4" to 1-1/2" bearing bar depth | Simple hammer-on |
| C CLIPS (Flush-Mount Grating Clips) | 1" to 2" bearing bar depth | Flush-mount below surface |
| F CLIPS (Heavy-Duty Grating Clamps) | 3/4" to 2" bearing bar depth | Clamps from above with a standard wrench |
| I CLIPS (Vibration-Resistant Grating Clamps) | 3/4" to 2" bearing bar depth | Clamps from above with a standard wrench |
Bearing bars: ~15/16" bearing bar centers (denser than 19 series). Typical use: Higher-load platforms and walkways.
| Clip | Bearing bar depth | Installs |
|---|---|---|
| R CLIPS (Odd-Spaced Grating Clips) | 1" to 1-1/2" bearing bar depth | From above with a standard wrench |

|---|---|---|
| R CLIPS (Odd-Spaced Grating Clips) | 1" to 1-1/2" bearing bar depth | From above with a standard wrench |
Bearing bars: Molded (commonly 1-1/2" square mesh) or pultruded I-bar. Typical use: Chemical, water treatment and corrosive service.

Most FastGrate clips fit 19-W-4, the most common bar grating spacing in North America. The chart lists each compatible model with the bearing bar depths it covers.
Use R CLIPS. Their wide rectangular top plate spans the bearing bars on odd-spaced and irregular grating.
M CLIPS, the M-shaped saddle hold-down used on molded and pultruded fiberglass grating. Our other clips are made for steel bar grating.
Mechanically galvanized (ASTM B695) covers most general industrial work. Choose 304 stainless for washdown and chemical exposure, or 316 stainless for saltwater, chlorides and most fiberglass installations.
