Mulberry 40470 Steel Nail Plate, 0.062-Inch Gauge, 4-Hole, 3-Inch x 1-1/2-Inch

Mulberry 40470 Steel Nail Plate, 0.062-Inch Gauge, 4-Hole, 3-Inch x 1-1/2-Inch

The Mulberry 40470 is a 0.062-Inch steel nail plate measuring 3-Inch x 1-1/2-Inch, engineered with a 4 nail hole pattern for secure fastening over framing members. Installed across studs, joists, and plates where wiring or piping passes through drilled bore holes, this steel plate helps shield cables and pipes from accidental nail or screw punctures during drywall hanging, trim installation, and other finish work. Its solid steel construction provides the rigidity needed to resist penetration in both new construction and renovation projects, giving electricians and plumbers a dependable, code-minded barrier at every stud and joist crossing where cable or pipe runs are otherwise exposed to fasteners driven from the finished side of the wall.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 3-Inch x 1-1/2-Inch profile sized to fully cover standard framing penetrations where wiring or piping passes through drilled holes.
• Durable Construction: 0.062-Inch steel gauge delivers the strength needed to resist nail and screw punctures at wall, ceiling, and floor assemblies.
• 4 Nail Holes: Pre-punched 4-hole pattern allows fast, secure attachment directly to framing members using common nails or screws, with no field drilling required.
• Solid Steel Plate: One-piece steel construction resists bending and penetration during wall finishing, insulation work, and trim installation.
• Compact Footprint: 3-Inch x 1-1/2-Inch sizing fits standard stud and joist bore locations without excess overlap onto surrounding framing.
• Field-Ready Installation: Low-profile 0.062-Inch gauge sits flush against framing so drywall and finish materials install cleanly over the plate.

Why Mulberry?

Mulberry builds the 40470 nail plate from 0.062-Inch steel for dependable protection against nail and screw punctures on the jobsite. The 4-hole pattern and 3-Inch x 1-1/2-Inch sizing make it straightforward to install exactly where wiring or piping crosses framing, supporting safe, code-compliant electrical and plumbing rough-in work for both new construction and renovation projects. Contractors and maintenance electricians can rely on the solid steel build to hold its shape and stay seated over the bore hole through the remainder of the build-out.
