B-LINE BM3M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line BM3M nail plate made for metal studs or wood studs?
The BM3M is a metal stud nail plate. It is built to protect cable runs where they pass through steel framing, so if you are protecting cable in wood studs you want a nail plate intended for wood, not this one.
2) What size is the B-Line BM3M nail plate, and will it cover a standard cable bore in a steel stud?
It measures 1 inch in height, 1 inch in width and 1 inch in length/depth, so it is a small single-point plate sized to sit over one cable penetration rather than span a wide opening. For a long run of side-by-side holes you would need multiple plates or a longer protection plate.
3) How many nail plates come in a box of the Eaton B-Line BM3M?
Box quantity is 100 pieces. For an electrical contractor rough-in that is a practical count, since cable protection plates get used at every stud a homerun crosses, and each plate weighs about .1 lb so a full box stays easy to carry on a cart.
4) What material is the B-Line BM3M cable support fastener made from?
Steel. That is what lets a plate this size stop a drywall screw or trim nail from reaching the cable behind it, which is the whole point of installing one.
5) I am specifying cable protection for a multi-family rough-in. Is BM3M the right part number to put on the order?
For steel stud framing, yes: order by manufacturer part number BM3M, an Eaton B-Line series steel nail plate sold 100 to a box and cULus Listed. Specify a wood-stud plate separately if any of the partitions on the job are wood framed.
