Protect electrical wiring and plumbing from accidental nail and screw penetration with these 1.5" x 2.5" safety nail plates. Designed for installation over areas where NM cable, electrical wiring, or pipe passes through wood framing, these stud guards provide a durable protective barrier before drywall is installed.
Constructed from 16-gauge zinc-plated steel, each plate offers strong impact resistance along with added protection against corrosion in demanding jobsite environments. The rugged metal construction makes these plates well suited for residential rough-ins, remodels, renovations, and other framing applications.
Built-in self-nailing prongs allow the plate to be positioned directly against the stud and hammered into place without separate screws or fasteners, helping speed up installation.
Features
- STUD GUARD FOR WIRE AND PIPE — Hammer one over the spot where NM cable or PEX crosses a wood stud, and the drywall crew behind you stops being a problem. These nail guards take the hit from screws and nails that would otherwise reach your wiring or plumbing — the difference between a finished wall and a callback. Standard practice on residential rough-in, and cheap insurance anywhere a run passes through framing.
- 16-GAUGE STEEL, MADE IN USA — Zinc-plated 16 gauge steel, proudly manufactured in the United States. Heat and corrosion resistant, these heavy-duty plates hold up in damp basements, crawl spaces, and the harsh, moist conditions a job site actually delivers. Strength you can feel in your hand before you ever swing the hammer.
- SELF-NAILING, NO FASTENERS NEEDED — Sharp pointed prongs mean you set the safety plate against the stud and hammer it flat. No screws, no pre-drilling, no extra hardware in your pouch. Protecting a full run of studs takes minutes, and once it is on, it stays on.
- 1-1/2 X 2-1/2 INCH, FITS 2X4 WOOD STUDS — Measures 1-1/2 inches wide by 2-1/2 inches long, so the width matches the face of a standard 2x4 with nothing hanging over to telegraph through the drywall. Airmont protection plates come in several sizes, including a 3 inch length when a wider opening needs more coverage.
- 200-PLATE CONTRACTOR PACK — Two hundred plates to the box, so a big rough-in does not turn into a mid-job supply run. Also offered in a 100 count if you are stocking a van rather than a jobsite. These are bought in bulk for a reason — nobody ever needs just one.
