At 1.5 inches wide and 18 inches long, fabricated from 16-gauge galvanized steel, this plate mounts flush against framing to create a barrier between fasteners and concealed pipe or conduit. The 8-hole pattern, positioned on each end of the plate, allows secure fastening directly to studs or joists. Plumbers, HVAC installers, and electricians install these plates where code requires protection against accidental nail or screw penetration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nail plate is suited for residential and light commercial framing applications where pipes, tubing, or low-voltage wiring pass through wood members at a depth that places them at risk from drywall screws or finish nails. It is commonly installed during rough-in before wall or ceiling coverings are applied. The FHA designation indicates compatibility with flat header or stud applications where a standard-width plate is appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-gauge galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in framed wall cavities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5 inches x 18 inches profile covers a full stud bay depth with room for secure fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-hole pattern positioned on each end for positive attachment to framing members\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat profile sits flush against framing surface without creating gaps behind finish material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish meets typical code requirements for nail plate guards in protected assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment nail plate guard for residential and light commercial framing protection applications where a 1.5-inch by 18-inch flat header application plate is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNail plate guards are typically installed by plumbers, HVAC rough-in technicians, or electricians during framing stage before sheathing or drywall is applied. Fasten the plate firmly to the framing member using nails or screws through the pre-drilled holes so the plate does not shift during finish work. Verify local building code requirements, including IRC and IPC provisions, for minimum plate thickness and placement distance from the pipe or conduit being protected. Do not install over already-concealed framing without confirming the protected line is within the zone of coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Count\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positioned on each end of plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CS BASSET PRODUCTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: FHA-400-1816\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"C\u0026S BASSET PRODUCTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51283984056626,"sku":"FHA-400-1816","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309278363.jpg?v=1781065053","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cs-basset-products-fha-400-1816-safety-nail-plate-guard","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
