Metallics NP800 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a 3 x 5 nail plate cover a 2x4 stud face and protect wire or pipe running through it?
The Metallics NP800 nail plate measures 3 inches wide by 5 inches long, so it fully spans the 3-1/2 inch face of a nominal 2x4 stud on the 3 inch dimension only if you orient the 5 inch length across the stud. Run the 5 inch dimension across the stud face and you cover the full width plus overlap; the 3 inch dimension then gives you coverage along the height of the bored hole. It is steel, so it stands up to a drywall screw or trim nail driven at the wall face.
2) Can I buy a single Metallics NP800 nail plate or do I have to buy a box?
The NP800 ships as a box with a 100 piece minimum, so it is a bulk buy rather than a onesie part. For a rough-in crew plating every bored stud on a floor that is the right unit; for a single repair it is a lot of plate. The 100 count box weighs 24.25 lbs.
3) Does the Metallics NP800 nail plate meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a federal or public project?
Yes. The NP800 is made in the United States and is flagged both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, which is what a government, school district, or federally funded job needs on the submittal. That is the answer procurement is looking for before they will let the plate onto the project.
4) Can the same nail plate be used for plumbing and HVAC, or is it electrical only?
Not electrical only. The NP800 is specified for electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning work, so one box covers the plumber protecting PEX and copper through joists, the HVAC tech running refrigerant line, and the electrician plating romex. For a facility maintenance shop stocking one plate for all three trades, that is the point of it.
5) Do Metallics nail plates come with nails or do I need to supply fasteners?
You supply the fasteners. The NP800 is a punched steel plate, and the holes are there so you pick the nail or screw that suits the framing you are fastening into. Plan on hardened nails for the stud face; there is nothing in the box but plate.
6) What is the shipping box size and weight for a 100 count of Metallics NP800 nail plates?
A full box runs 24.25 lbs and measures 10.25 x 10.5 x 8.75 inches. That matters if you are staging material on a lift or ordering several boxes to a job site trailer, since a pallet of them adds up fast for a part people think of as light.
7) What is the Metallics part number for the 3 x 5 16 gauge steel nail plate?
Order it as Metallics NP800. That is the 3 by 5 inch, 16 gauge steel nail plate in a 100 piece box, and it is the number a distributor or a purchasing agent should put on the PO to get this exact plate rather than a lighter gauge or a smaller footprint.
