The Stream33 3-1/2" x 18" BOCA Plate is an essential protective component for construction and remodeling projects. This plate is designed to be installed at the top and bottom of wall constructions to prevent the penetration of fasteners into hidden wiring or piping, ensuring safety and compliance with building codes. Its 8-hole per side design simplifies the installation process, making it quick and efficient to secure to pre-treated lumber and suitable for cold-formed steel stud construction with the appropriate fasteners. This product is particularly useful in environments where additional precautions are necessary to safeguard underlying utilities during the building process.
