OATEY 33932 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Oatey 33932 FHA plate used for?
It's a galvanized steel stud guard, 1-1/2 x 9 inches, that nails over a notched or bored stud or plate to keep drywall screws and trim nails from puncturing the pipe or wire running through it. Oatey calls it an FHA plate because this kind of protection is what inspectors look for where piping or cable passes through framing members.
2) Do I need nails or screws to install the Oatey 33932 stud guard?
No separate fasteners needed. The 33932 has Oatey's self-nailing feature, so the prongs are part of the plate and you just drive it into the face of the stud with a hammer.
3) Will a 9 inch stud guard cover a 2x4 stud face?
Yes, and then some. A 2x4 stud is 3-1/2 inches deep, so the 9 inch length of the 33932 plate spans the full depth with room to sit over a notch in a top or bottom plate as well. The 1-1/2 inch width matches the nominal face of the framing member.
4) Is the Oatey 33932 heavy enough gauge to stop a drywall screw?
It's 18 gauge steel, which is the standard weight used for nail-stop plates over copper, PEX and romex in residential and light commercial framing. Galvanized finish, so it won't rust out in a wet wall or a crawlspace.
5) What part number do I order for the Oatey 1-1/2 x 9 inch FHA plate?
Order Oatey 33932. That is the manufacturer part number for the 1-1/2 x 9 inch, 18 gauge galvanized FHA stud guard, and it is the barcoded version if you're receiving into a stocked MRO crib.
