Safety plates, also commonly known as nail plates, are metal brackets used to protect wiring and piping that is passing through a stud. In most building codes, one is required to use safety or nail plates when the edge of a hole in a stud is less than 1-1/2 in from the edge of the stud. Our safety or nail plates come with self-nailing flanges that allow the installer to pound them in where necessary, with out fumbling around with nails. We offer a wide variety in gauge thickness, width and length with our safety or nail plates, to cover what ever your local building code may require. Just like all of our manufactured products, our nail plates are made in the USA.
