Halex/scott Fetzer 27259 Snap-in Stud Bushing 25 Pack

Product Description

The HALEX/SCOTT FETZER 27259 is a universal plastic snap-in stud bushing designed to protect non-metallic (NM) cable where it passes through metal framing members. Supplied in a 25-pack, each bushing snaps directly into pre-punched openings in metal studs, creating a smooth plastic edge that prevents abrasion and insulation damage to NM cable. These bushings are rated for indoor use only. Their universal fit accommodates a variety of standard pre-punched stud knockout sizes, making them a practical option for rough-in wiring work in metal-framed residential and light commercial construction.

These snap-in bushings are used during electrical rough-in on metal-stud wall and ceiling framing. They are a standard requirement when routing NM cable through metal studs, as sharp metal edges can damage cable insulation and create code violations. Typical install scenarios include new construction and renovation projects where interior metal framing is used in place of wood. The 25-pack quantity suits multi-room rough-in jobs and panel feeds where many stud penetrations must be protected in a single visit.

Installation Notes

Licensed electricians typically install snap-in stud bushings during the rough-in phase before drywall. De-energize all circuits in the work area before pulling cable through metal framing. The bushing should be fully seated and flush in the stud knockout before cable is pulled through. Work must comply with applicable NEC requirements for protection of NM cable through metal framing members.
