Sioux Chief 533-3 Triple Stud Shoe, 16-Gauge Steel Pipe Protector

The Sioux Chief 533-3 Triple Stud Shoe is a heavy-duty, 16-gauge steel plate designed to install directly over wall studs behind the finished surface, reinforcing framing members while shielding DWV pipe runs up to 2-3/8" O.D. from accidental nail and screw punctures during drywall, siding, or trim installation. Built for rough-in plumbing crews, this triple-wide stud shoe covers three stud faces in a single piece, reducing install time compared to setting individual single-stud guards across a run of pipe. The plate is manufactured with pre-punched mounting holes for fast nail-on or screw-on attachment to framing, and it is engineered to meet IRC 602.6 requirements for notched and bored stud protection, giving plumbers and framers a code-referenced way to protect DWV piping that passes through load-bearing or non-load-bearing studs. As a rough-in accessory, the 533-3 is installed and inspected before wall finishes go up, making it a standard part of any DWV protection package on jobs where pipe runs cross multiple adjacent studs. It is manufactured in the United States and supplied in a standard carton quantity for distributor and contractor stock.

Key Features

  • Pipe Clearance: Installs over pipe up to 2-3/8" O.D., accommodating common DWV pipe sizes run through framing.
  • Durable Construction: Heavy-duty 16-gauge steel plate resists nail and screw penetration better than lighter-gauge guards.
  • Triple-Stud Coverage: One-piece design spans three studs, cutting installation steps versus single stud guards on multi-stud pipe runs.
  • Mounting Holes: Pre-punched holes allow quick nail-on or screw-on attachment directly to framing members.
  • Stud Reinforcement: Reinforces the stud itself in addition to shielding the pipe, supporting notched or bored stud applications.
  • Code Reference: Meets IRC 602.6 requirements for protection of pipes run through bored or notched studs.

Sioux Chief 533-3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size pipe will the Sioux Chief 533-3 stud shoe fit over?
The 533-3 triple stud shoe installs over pipe up to 2-3/8 inch O.D., which covers the usual DWV sizes run through framing (2 inch DWV plastic pipe measures right at 2-3/8 inch outside diameter). If your run is larger than that, the plate won't seat over it.
2) Does a triple stud shoe cover three studs, or do I need one per stud?
One piece spans three stud faces. That is the point of the 533-3: on a pipe run crossing three adjacent studs you set a single plate instead of three individual single-stud guards, which cuts install steps on the rough-in. For a pipe passing through just one stud, a single-configuration guard is the right part.
3) Will a 533-3 stud shoe satisfy an inspector for notched and bored studs?
The 533-3 is built to meet IRC 602.6, the code section covering protection of piping run through bored or notched studs. It is installed over the studs behind the finished surface and inspected before drywall or siding goes on, so set it during rough-in, not after close-in.
4) What gauge steel is the Sioux Chief triple stud shoe, and does it stop a nail?
It is a heavy-duty 16-gauge steel plate, which resists nail and screw penetration better than lighter-gauge guards. That is what protects the DWV line behind the plate when drywall, siding, or trim is being fastened.
5) How does the 533-3 stud shoe attach to the framing, and do I need separate fasteners?
The plate comes with pre-punched mounting holes so it can be nailed or screwed straight to the framing member. Fasteners themselves are not part of the plate, so plan on supplying nails or screws from your own stock.
6) Does the 533-3 do anything for the stud itself, or only protect the pipe?
Both. Besides shielding the pipe, the steel plate reinforces the stud where it has been notched or bored, so it works as framing reinforcement as well as a pipe guard. That is why framers use it on load-bearing and non-load-bearing studs alike.
7) How many Sioux Chief 533-3 stud shoes come in a carton?
Packaging is 10 each per carton, which is how it is stocked for contractor and distributor orders. For a house with several multi-stud DWV runs, one carton typically covers the rough-in.
8) Is the Sioux Chief 533-3 made in the USA?
Yes, the 533-3 triple stud shoe is manufactured in the United States, which matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements. Order it by part number 533-3.
