Installers apply this plate over areas where nails, screws, or other fasteners are located within 1.25 inches of a pipe or wire chase, preventing accidental penetration by subsequent trades. The plate is sold in a package of 10 units, making it practical for framing crews working across multiple bays or floors. It is a standard component in both residential and light commercial wood-frame construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNail protection plates are used wherever plumbing, electrical, or HVAC trades route pipes, conduit, or wiring through wood studs, joists, or top and bottom plates. Framing carpenters and mechanical contractors install them at the rough-in stage, typically after notching or boring framing members and before wall closure. They are a code-required item in many jurisdictions under the IRC and IPC to protect concealed utilities from drywall screws and finish fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects fasteners and utilities routed through wood framing members from accidental penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a package of 10 plates for multi-location installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered for use in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard compliance component for IRC and IPC rough-in inspections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style protection plate for use in wood-frame construction applications where fastener or utility protection is required at framing penetrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNail protection plates are installed by framing carpenters, plumbers, or electricians immediately after boring or notching framing members. No special tools are required beyond a hammer to seat the plate flush against the framing surface. Always verify local code requirements for minimum plate thickness and placement distance from the framing edge before installation. Do not install over damaged or split framing members without first making the necessary structural repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SIMPSON STRONG TIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PSPN516Z\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SIMPSON STRONG-TIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51523375923506,"sku":"PSPN516Z","price":88.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8601f2ab8fa4c0c92dbbc4fec060e9b4.jpg?v=1785441167","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/simpson-strong-tie-pspn516z-nail-protection-plate","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
