Cs Basset Products FHA-300-2416-8 Nail Guard Plate

Product Description

The CS BASSET PRODUCTS FHA-300-2416-8 is a steel nail guard plate used to protect pipes, conduit, and wiring runs from nail and screw penetration inside wall, floor, and ceiling cavities. At 3 inches wide and 24 inches long, this 16-gauge plate provides a rigid barrier in framing applications where mechanical systems pass through wood studs or joists. It ships as a single unit and includes 8 pre-punched holes for secure fastening. Plumbers, HVAC installers, and electricians install these plates where code requires protection of concealed runs before drywall or sheathing closes the cavity.

This nail plate is suited for residential and light commercial construction and remodel work. It is applied directly to the face of a stud, joist, or top plate wherever a pipe or cable passes within the protected distance from the framing edge required by applicable code. The 24-inch length covers extended runs or multiple penetrations on a single framing member, reducing the number of plates needed per cavity.

Key Features

• 16-gauge steel construction for rigid protection against nail and screw penetration
• 3 inches x 24 inches coverage area for extended framing protection
• 8 pre-punched holes for consistent, secure fastening to framing members
• Single-piece unit sized for individual stud or joist applications
• Suitable for protecting pipes, conduit, and low-voltage or line-voltage wiring runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style nail guard plate for use in residential and light commercial framing applications where code-required mechanical protection of concealed pipes or wiring is needed.

Installation Notes

Nail guard plates are installed by plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians before wall, floor, or ceiling cavities are closed. Fasten the plate flush to the face of the framing member using the pre-punched holes and appropriate fasteners. Confirm required setback distances and plate thickness requirements with the applicable building code, including IPC, IFGC, or NEC as relevant to the system being protected. Do not install over live electrical conductors or pressurized lines without first de-energizing or depressurizing the system.
