Peerless Industries WSP700 Metal Stud Wall Plate

Product Description

The PEERLESS INDUSTRIES WSP700 is a 16-gauge metal stud wall plate designed to provide a solid, code-appropriate mounting surface for wall-mount display brackets in metal stud framing applications. Standard wood-stud walls offer straightforward blocking options, but metal stud construction requires a dedicated bridging plate to distribute load across the framing. This plate gives installers a reliable anchor point without the need for custom fabrication. It ships as a single unit and is finished in black. AV integrators, low-voltage technicians, and general contractors working in commercial and light commercial spaces are the typical installers.

The WSP700 is suited for interior wall installations where metal stud framing is standard, including office buildouts, hospitality spaces, retail environments, and institutional facilities. It is used in conjunction with a compatible wall-mount bracket system to support flat-panel displays. The plate bridges across metal studs, distributing the load of the mounted display to the framing rather than relying on drywall alone. This approach is required in most commercial construction scenarios where metal stud framing replaces traditional wood framing.

Key Features

• 16-gauge steel construction for load-bearing stability in metal stud walls
• Black finish integrates cleanly with standard wall-mount bracket assemblies
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward procurement and installation
• Designed for metal stud framing where wood blocking is not available
• Compatible with wall-mount display bracket systems requiring a bridging plate

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mounting accessory for use with wall-mount display bracket systems installed into metal stud framing construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a low-voltage AV technician or a licensed electrician familiar with structural mounting requirements. Before installation, confirm stud spacing and load ratings meet the requirements of the display and bracket system being used. Secure the plate to metal studs using appropriate self-tapping screws rated for metal framing. Follow local building codes and the bracket manufacturer instructions for fastener type and placement.
