OATEY 33857 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 33857 pipe clamp work on metal studs, or is it for wood framing?
It is made for metal studs, specifically 18 gauge or lighter weight studs. It hand tightens into place with no screws or nails, and tabs on the body let you adjust it after it is seated. For heavier structural studs you would need a different support method.
2) What pipe size does Oatey 33857 hold?
The 33857 is the 3/4 inch version of Oatey's metal stud insulating pipe clamp. Oatey's 1/2 inch size of the same clamp is drilled with both 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch holes, so if you are running smaller tube you want that size instead, not the 33857.
3) Does this clamp isolate copper pipe from the metal stud to prevent corrosion and noise?
Yes. The clamp body is polypropylene, so the pipe never contacts the steel stud edge. That removes the dissimilar metal contact point and the metal to metal rattle you get when tube runs straight through a bare stud punch-out. The plastic itself does not corrode.
4) Can I use the Oatey 33857 clamp on a hydronic heating loop?
Yes, Oatey lists the 33857 as suitable for hydronic systems in addition to standard domestic water runs. It is also UPC listed.
5) Do I need screws or a drill to install Oatey metal stud insulating clamps?
No fasteners and no tools. The clamp hand tightens into the stud opening and the adjustment tabs let you reposition it, so a rough-in crew can set a whole run without pulling a driver out.
6) How many clamps come in a bag of Oatey 33857?
They ship 50 clamps to a polybag, which is how a plumbing contractor or MRO stockroom buys them for a rough-in. Each clamp weighs 0.011, so a full bag is light enough to carry up a ladder in a pouch.
7) What is the Oatey part number for the 3/4 inch metal stud insulating pipe clamp?
Order it as Oatey 33857. That is both the model and the manufacturer part number for the 3/4 inch metal stud insulating clamp, and the design is covered by patent 6,598,835.
