OATEY 33894 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is an Oatey stud guard plate used for in framing?
The Oatey 33894 stud guard is a galvanized steel plate that nails over a notched or bored stud to shield pipe and wiring behind it from drywall screws and finish nails. It covers a 1-1/2 in. x 5 in. area, with 4-1/2 in. between the points, so it spans a standard bored hole in a 2x4 face.
2) Do I need a hammer and separate nails to install the Oatey 33894 protection plate?
No separate fasteners are needed. The 33894 has a self-nailing feature, meaning the integral points drive straight into the stud face, so you set it over the bored hole and tap it home. Nothing else ships with it.
3) Will a 1-1/2 in. wide stud guard work on a 2x6 wall?
It will protect the pipe, but it only covers 1-1/2 in. of face width, so on a 2x6 (5-1/2 in. actual) it leaves the rest of the stud face exposed. That is fine when the bore is centered and the plate sits directly over the pipe run; if you need to cover a wide notch in a 2x6, use a wider guard plate instead.
4) Is the Oatey 33894 stud guard rust resistant for use in exterior or damp walls?
The plate is galvanized steel, so it has a zinc coating that resists surface rust inside framed walls. It is a bare metal protection plate, not a painted or stainless part.
5) What model number do I order for the Oatey 4-1/2 in. self-nailing stud guard?
Order Oatey part 33894. That is the manufacturer number for the 1-1/2 in. x 5 in. self-nailing galvanized stud guard with 4-1/2 in. between the points.
