Metallics NP600 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Metallics NP600 nail plate used for?
The NP600 is a steel protective plate that goes over a stud or plate where cable or pipe passes through, so a drywall screw or trim nail driven later cannot reach it. At 1-1/2 x 5 inches it covers the width of a bored hole and enough of the framing member around it to catch an off-center fastener. Metallics lists it for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, so the same plate protects NM cable, PEX, or a small copper run.
2) Will a 5 inch nail plate cover a bored hole in a 2x4 stud?
Yes, with room to spare. The NP600 measures 5 inches along its length, and a 2x4 stud is 3-1/2 inches across the face, so the plate laps past both edges of the stud and still catches a fastener driven slightly off the framing line. On a 2x6 the 5-1/2 inch face is wider than the plate, so center it on the hole rather than trying to cover the full stud.
3) Are Metallics nail plates made in the USA and Buy American compliant?
Country of origin on the NP600 is the United States, and Metallics lists it as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant. That matters on federally funded work, GSA jobs, and public school or municipal projects where the electrical submittal has to show domestic material for even the small consumables.
4) How many Metallics NP600 nail plates come in a box?
They ship as a box of 100, and 100 is the order minimum, so this is a contractor quantity rather than a per-piece buy. If you are rocking out a floor of units or a multifamily rough-in, one box covers a lot of stud bays; for a single service call it is more plate than you need.
5) Do nail plates need screws, or do you just hammer them on?
Nail plates like the NP600 are a plain steel plate, not a self-driving type, so you fasten it with your own nails or screws through the plate into the framing. Nothing is included in the box beyond the plates themselves. Most electricians drive two roofing nails or coarse screws, one above and one below the bored hole, and set the plate flat so the drywall still sits tight to the stud.
6) Can I use the same nail plate for PEX and copper water lines, not just electrical cable?
Yes. Metallics lists the NP600 for plumbing and HVAC as well as electrical, and the plate does not care what is behind it. Plumbers use the same 1-1/2 x 5 inch steel plate over PEX and small copper runs where the line crosses a stud, and HVAC techs use it over control wiring and small refrigerant lines in framing.
7) How much does a box of 100 Metallics NP600 nail plates weigh and how big is the carton?
A full box runs 7.69 lbs and the carton measures 11.25 x 9.5 x 4.75 inches. Light enough to keep a box in the van, and small enough that it does not eat a shelf on the gang box.
