Backup Plates

Question
State	OH
Description Text	One of our guardrail suppliers asked if it would be acceptable to use a 12” wide backup plate on the S3x5.7 bridge rail post instead of the 6” wide. We already have the 12” wide ones in the inventory as a standard part… Any reason to say no (other than the smaller one should be cheaper)?

Response
Response (active)	I don’t believe that there is any reason one can’t use a larger backup plate. Smaller might be an issue, but larger should be ok.
