OATEY 33893 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Oatey 33893 stud guard actually do on a framed wall?
It's a steel plate that nails over a notched or bored stud to keep drywall screws and finish nails from hitting the pipe or wire running through it. The 33893 measures 1-1/2 by 3 inches, with 2-1/2 inches between the points, so it covers a standard bored hole in a 2x4 face.
2) Do I need a hammer and separate nails to install the Oatey 33893 protection plate?
No separate fasteners. The 33893 has a self-nailing feature, meaning the integral points drive straight into the stud face when you hammer the plate on. Nothing else to order to install it.
3) Will the Oatey 33893 stud guard rust inside a wet wall or exterior wall cavity?
The plate is galvanized steel, so it carries a zinc coating for corrosion resistance in normal concealed wall and floor framing conditions.
4) How many Oatey 33893 stud guards should I figure per rough-in, and are they light enough to carry a box on the belt?
Each 33893 plate weighs 0.073 lb, so a hundred of them is only a few pounds. Plan on one plate per stud or plate penetration where the pipe or cable sits close to the framing face, which on a typical bathroom branch run means one at every bored stud in the wet wall.
5) What is the Oatey part number for the 1-1/2 by 3 inch self-nailing stud guard?
Oatey 33893. That is the manufacturer part number to order by, and it covers the 1-1/2 by 3 inch self-nailing galvanized guard with 2-1/2 inches between the points.
