Commonly called a stud guard or pipe shield plate, it mounts flush against a stud, joist, or plate to prevent fasteners from penetrating the pipe or tubing behind it. The plate measures 3.5 inches by 6 inches and features six nail holes for secure mechanical attachment. This type of protective plate is a standard rough-in component installed by licensed plumbers and electricians during framing stage, before drywall closes the wall cavity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shield plate is suited for residential and light commercial construction where copper, CPVC, PEX, or electrical conduit runs through bored or notched framing members. It is applied wherever a pipe or wire is closer than the code-required minimum distance from the face of a stud or joist, providing a mechanical barrier against drywall screws and other fasteners driven from the finished surface. It is sold in bulk cases of 50 plates, making it practical for framing crews and rough-in plumbers stocking jobsite supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16-gauge steel construction provides a rigid barrier against fastener penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.5 inches x 6 inches profile fits standard stud and joist framing dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSix nail holes allow fast, secure attachment to wood framing members\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFunctions as a pipe shield plate and stud guard for pipes and conduit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold 50 plates per case in bulk packaging for high-volume rough-in work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style protective nail plate for use with pipes and conduit routed through standard wood framing members in residential and light commercial construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNail plates are installed by licensed plumbers or electricians during the rough-in phase, before insulation and drywall are applied. The plate is nailed or stapled directly over the framing member face where the pipe or conduit is within the minimum code-required setback distance from the stud face, per IPC and NEC guidelines as applicable. No special tools are required beyond a hammer or pneumatic nailer. Inspect the plate after installation to confirm it sits flat and fully covers the vulnerable pipe or wire segment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches x 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Nail Holes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pipe Support and Protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 per Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bulk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SIOUX CHIEF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 539-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SIOUX CHIEF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51467682906418,"sku":"539-6","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313946401.jpg?v=1783910218","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sioux-chief-539-6-nail-plate-3-5x6-in-6-hole-16-gauge","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
