Oatey 33966 Flat Tube Nailer Copper Plated 1/2 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The OATEY 33966 is a flat tube nailer designed to secure piping to wooden studs and joists in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Constructed from 12-gauge metal with a copper-plated finish, this nailer provides durable, long-lasting support for a wide range of pipe types and diameters. The flat profile allows for fast, clean installation without special tools, making it a go-to fastener for plumbers working through rough-in stages. At 1/2 x 3/4 inches, it fits standard pipe runs and anchors them firmly to framing members to prevent movement, vibration, and noise transfer in finished assemblies.

This tube nailer is suited for residential rough-in plumbing and light commercial framing applications where pipe needs to be secured to wood framing. It accommodates copper, PVC, CPVC, galvanized steel, and PEX piping, covering most common pipe materials encountered in new construction and retrofit work. Plumbers working on water supply lines, drain-waste-vent rough-in, or hydronic distribution runs will find the flat nailer useful wherever a quick, code-acceptable pipe support is needed at stud or joist intervals.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installed by licensed plumbers during rough-in framing stages before wall close-up. Shut off water supply to any active lines before working in the vicinity of existing piping. Nail the flat nailer directly through its flange into the wood framing member using a hammer or nail gun, positioning it to hold the pipe snugly without crimping or deforming the pipe wall. Follow local plumbing code spacing requirements for pipe support intervals, which are typically governed by the IPC or applicable state amendments.
