OATEY 33931 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is an Oatey 33931 stud guard used for?
It is a galvanized 18 gauge steel plate that nails over a stud or plate where pipe or wire passes through, so a drywall screw or trim nail can't hit the line behind it. The 33931 measures 1-1/2 in. x 5 in. with 4-1/2 in. between the nail points.
2) Do I need separate nails or screws to install the Oatey 33931 stud guard?
No. The 33931 is self-nailing, with integral points that drive straight into the stud face, so there is no separate fastener to buy or hold while you set it.
3) Is an 18 gauge stud guard thick enough, or should I use a heavier plate?
18 gauge galvanized steel is the common thickness for protecting supply lines and cable at a drilled or notched stud, which is what the 33931 is built for. If your local inspector calls for a thicker plate on a specific run, use the heavier gauge guard instead.
4) Can I use the Oatey 33931 over both copper pipe and electrical cable?
Yes, it is made to shield pipes and wiring alike, so the same guard works over a PEX or copper run and over NM cable passing through the same stud bay.
