Saddle clips are used to attach grating to structural members.
A popular method of attaching grating to structures involves formed metal pieces, variously called saddle clips, butterfly clips, and M-Clips, placed onto the grating top surface and attached with a suitable screw, bolt, or pin to the structure. All of our saddle clips are designed for use with a 0.25” diameter fastener.
Saddle Clips offered by our company include the following units:
SSI-60-1: This saddle clip is designed for use on fiberglass, pultruded gratings that are 1” in height. Like the SSF-10, it is resistant to corrosion, due to its stainless steel material. SSI-60-1.5: This saddle clip is designed for fiberglass, pultruded gratings that are 1.5” in height or more. It can also be used on 1.5” square mesh fiberglass gratings. It is also made of stainless steel.
