Steel nail plates and protection plates that shield pipe and cable in studs and joists from nails and screws. The collection includes C&S 16 gauge and 18 gauge plates from 1-1/2" x 3" to 1-1/2" x 9", 3" x 5" plates, 5" x 8" self-nailing plates, one-hole protection plates and Oatey 16 gauge BOCA plates.
Codes generally require a steel plate where pipe runs closer than 1-1/4" to the edge of a framing member, so check the gauge and size your inspector expects. Pick a width that covers the bored or notched area, and choose self-nailing plates when you want faster installation without separate fasteners.
