Orbit SP-1 16 Gauge Sheet Steel Nail Safety Plate With Prongs
The Orbit SP-1 Nail Safety Plate is built from 16 gauge sheet steel and features integrated mounting prongs for quick, tool-minimal installation over framing members. Designed to shield electrical wiring, cable, and low-voltage lines running through studs and joists, this safety plate helps protect conductors from accidental nail or screw punctures during finish work such as drywall hanging, trim installation, and flooring. The rugged 16 gauge steel construction provides a durable barrier that electricians and contractors can count on for code-conscious rough-in protection on residential and light commercial jobs.
Key Features
- Durable Construction: Fabricated from 16 gauge sheet steel for a strong, impact-resistant barrier over concealed wiring runs.
- Integrated Prongs: Built-in mounting prongs allow the plate to be driven directly into framing without loose fasteners, speeding up installation.
- Nail & Screw Guard: Designed to cover wiring passed through studs, joists, and other framing members to reduce the risk of punctures from drywall screws, trim nails, and flooring fasteners.
- Sheet Steel Gauge: 16 gauge material thickness balances rigidity and ease of installation on standard framing.
- Job-Ready Design: Sized and shaped for straightforward placement by electricians, framers, and general contractors during rough-in and finish phases.
- Low-Profile Fit: Sits flush against framing members so downstream drywall and finish materials install without added bulk.
