Lh Dottie PS1224 Plate Strap 24in 1.5in 12 Gauge Steel

Product Description

The LH DOTTIE PS1224 is a steel plate strap designed for securing, bridging, and reinforcing structural members and mechanical supports in residential and commercial construction. Measuring 24 inches in length and 1.5 inches in width, this strap is formed from 12-gauge steel, giving it the rigidity and load capacity required for framing, plumbing rough-in, HVAC duct support, and electrical rough-in work. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers rely on flat plate straps like this one to protect piping and conduit, anchor hangers, and provide backing in wood-frame assemblies.

The PS1224 is suited for a wide range of trade applications including pipe protection in notched studs, securing conduit runs, and providing structural backing in wood-frame walls and floors. Its flat profile allows it to sit flush against framing members, making it straightforward to fasten with standard fasteners. The 24-inch length covers a typical stud bay span, and the 12-gauge steel construction meets common code requirements for nail plates and protection straps in plumbing and electrical installations.

Key Features

• 24 inches in length covers a standard stud bay span for pipe and conduit protection
• 1.5-inch width provides a stable bearing surface for fastening to framing
• 12-gauge steel construction delivers rigidity and resistance to fastener pull-through
• Flat profile sits flush against wood framing for clean, low-profile installation
• Suitable for use as a nail plate, pipe protection strap, or structural backing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use plate strap for residential and light commercial wood-frame construction applications requiring pipe, conduit, or structural protection strapping.

Installation Notes

Plate straps are typically installed by licensed plumbers, electricians, or HVAC technicians during rough-in, before drywall or finished surfaces are applied. Fasten the strap flush against the framing member using appropriate nails or screws per local code requirements, referencing the NEC or IFGC as applicable to the trade. Ensure the strap fully covers any notch or penetration requiring protection before the inspection and close-in phase.
