A gas-liquid contact grid is formed of grid members which are connected together by connector members. Each grid member has an elongated upstanding web and laterally extending upper and lower flanges which are discontinuously formed of flange segments which extend alternately in opposite lateral directions from the web. Openings are provided in the upper and lower flanges. The web has interruptions which are located below and in vertical alignment with the ends of the flange segments to cause downwardly flowing liquid to spread longitudinally along the web. The flange segments on adjacent grid members do not extend toward each other to constrict the flow of ascending gases. The connector members are slotted and they extend through aligned holes in the webs of the grid members. During assembly, a connector member is inserted through the holes, and then it is rotated so that the slots engage the web to retain the connector members and the grid members in interengaged relationship.
