Omegaflex OMESAFEPL32 Quarter Strike Plate 1-1/2 Inches X 3 Inches

Product Description

The OMEGAFLEX OMESAFEPL32 Quarter Strike Plate is a hardened carbon steel protective plate designed to shield concealed gas piping from physical damage. It measures 1-1/2 inches wide by 3 inches tall, giving it a compact footprint that fits into standard stud bays and framing cavities where flexible gas tubing is routed. HVAC installers, plumbers, and gas fitters rely on strike plates like this one to meet code requirements whenever tubing is hidden behind walls, floors, or ceilings. The plate acts as a rigid barrier between the gas line and any fastener, drill bit, nail, screw, or other object that could penetrate the wall surface and strike the tubing. Without a strike plate in place, concealed flexible gas tubing is vulnerable to puncture, shear force, crushing, and other physical threats that can cause leaks or system failure. The OMESAFEPL32 is made from hardened carbon steel, which provides the strength and hardness needed to resist penetration from standard construction fasteners. This material choice ensures the plate will not bend or deform easily under impact, keeping the gas line protected over the long service life of the installation. The plate is required by code whenever flexible gas tubing is concealed and restrained within 3 inches of a potential damage threat such as a framing member edge, junction box, or other structural element. Proper installation of this strike plate supports compliance with CSST installation standards and local mechanical codes. Its straightforward design allows for quick installation during rough-in, helping contractors stay on schedule without sacrificing safety. This quarter strike plate is a standard component in any compliant flexible gas piping installation where tubing passes through or near wood framing, metal studs, or other building materials that may later be penetrated by fasteners.

• Hardened carbon steel construction resists puncture, shear, and crushing forces from nails, screws, and drill bits
• Measures 1-1/2 inches x 3 inches for compatibility with standard framing and stud bay installations
• Required by code when flexible gas tubing is concealed, restrained, and within 3 inches of a potential physical threat

Product Highlights

The OMEGAFLEX OMESAFEPL32 Quarter Strike Plate protects concealed flexible gas tubing from physical damage during and after construction. Its hardened carbon steel build meets code requirements for CSST installations where tubing runs within 3 inches of potential threats.
