Metallics NS2412 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Metallics NS2412 plate strap meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a federal job?
Metallics lists the NS2412 as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, which is what a government or institutional procurement file usually needs on file for strapping and nail plates. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
2) How many straps come in a box of Metallics NS2412, and can I buy just one?
They ship as a box of 25, and 25 each is the order minimum, so single pieces aren't sold. For a rough-in where you're protecting plumbing or electrical runs through studs, a box covers a lot of openings in one order.
3) How many fastener holes does the NS2412 strap have?
Eight pre-punched holes along the 24 inch length. That spacing lets you catch multiple studs or plates with nails or screws rather than relying on a single fixing point, which matters when the strap is doing protection duty over wire or pipe passing through framing.
4) Can I get this nail plate strap in a different length or gauge?
Metallics makes nail plates and straps in other sizes, gauges and pack quantities, available by request. The NS2412 itself is the 1-1/2 x 24 inch, 12 gauge version. If your framing run is shorter or you need lighter stock, ask for the alternate size rather than cutting this one down.
5) What is a plate strap used for on an electrical rough-in?
A plate strap is flat punched steel laid over framing where cable or conduit passes through a stud or top plate, so a drywall screw or trim nail can't reach the wire. The NS2412 is the 12 gauge steel version at 1-1/2 x 24 inches, long enough to cover a bored run across several members instead of plating each hole separately.
6) How heavy is a box of 25 Metallics NS2412 straps?
A box runs 21 lbs, with carton dimensions of 9 x 9 x 6.13 inches. Worth knowing if you're staging multiple boxes on a floor or carrying them up to a unit.
